• Added instruction to install gpg (I tried on new Debian WSL, and it is not installed by default).

• Fixed instruction to create /root/.gnupg directory - with correct rights to avoid this warning:

  gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/root/.gnupg'

Not sure, but feels like #1203 is related.

These instructions worked for me after a lot of searching online. Mostly, the sudo mkdir -m 700 -p /root/.gnupg. Not sure why this is needed, but it is.

This is definitely not necessary on LinuxMint and should not be added as a general rule. To add anything manually into /root/ just to satisfy missing configuration to install something sounds crazy! Find out the cause and what is the standard fix. Is this happening only on debian? Is it happening only if you don't have previously gpg installed?

Btw, there is already the instruction sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/keyrings/bruno.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9FA6017ECABE0266 That should already error out without a working gpg right?

[antony]

My gpg was configured and already in use.

I searched comprehensively for a fix, to no avail.

Only creating this thing in root fixed it - I'm using Pop_Os

[janos-r]

Ok, I tried on a fresh linuxMint install in a VM and this is my result: gpg is preinstalled, but if you never ran it before, than it didn't yet create the .gnupg folder in either /root/ or ~/ I don't know why gpg doesn't create it automatically when importing this key, but rather than creating the folder manually, it is better to let gpg create it. It also creates your own public key and other files that belong there! As explained in https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/getting-started-gpg

So ok, I agree this check can be part of the install script for linux. But instead of doing it with mkdir, it can be checked with just sudo gpg --list-keys. It will either list the subscribed public keys under root (there shouldn't be any, normally you don't need sudo to verify files) or it will create the folder with everything that belongs there:

$ gpg --list-keys
gpg: directory '/home/bestuser/.gnupg' created
gpg: keybox '/home/bestuser/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' created
gpg: /home/bestuser/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created

I confirm sudo gpg --list-keys creates the needed /root/.gnupg directory, thanks!

All looks good. I would need to review this part to make sure that all of these are really needed. And that will take time.

deb: {
    // Docs: https://www.electron.build/configuration/linux#debian-package-options
    depends: [
      'libgtk-3-0',
      'libnotify4',
      'libnss3',
      'libxss1',
      'libxtst6',
      'xdg-utils',
      'libatspi2.0-0',
      'libuuid1',
      'libsecret-1-0',
      'libasound2' // #1036
    ]
  },

Can you submit the above part as a separate PR and keep this PR just to update the linux install instructions ?

[Nikolai2038]

@helloanoop Thanks for the response! I updated this branch and created separate pull request.

I was trying to install Bruno on my "Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS" from the repository and encountered an issue because the /root/.gnupg directory did not exist.

Here the error I received:

$ sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/keyrings/bruno.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9FA6017ECABE0266
gpg: keybox '/etc/apt/keyrings/bruno.gpg' created
gpg: failed to create temporary file '/root/.gnupg/.#lk0x0000589d4cd992d0.pop-os.24118': No such file or directory
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: No such file or directory
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr

I solved with:

$ sudo gpg --list-keys
gpg: directory '/root/.gnupg' created
gpg: keybox '/root/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' created
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created

I am writing this comment because once this pull request is merged, the instructions at http://debian.usebruno.com/ should also be updated accordingly.

I was trying to install Bruno via apt but didnt work but with this approach it works. Thank you for this contribution! @Nikolai2038

@helloanoop

libasound2 is the only addition here, the reset are already part of default value as documented here. Can also confirm the same form the .deb build.

$ dpkg-deb -R bruno_2.5.0_arm64_linux.deb out
$ cat out/DEBIAN/control | grep Dep
