Peek: Failed to open Peek on Wayland without GDK_BACKEND=x11.
I have installed the peek-git from AUR, but it still can't run on Wayland natively.
You are running Peek natively on Wayland, this is currently unsupported. Please start Peek using XWayland by setting GDK_BACKEND=x11

Just follow the instructions and run it with XWayland by calling:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 peek
If you start it via the desktop shortcut it should already be set correctly.

@phw
I have to do it in terminal.
The desktop shortcut doesn't work.

What do you mean the desktop shortcut doesn't work? Does it do nothing or does it show that Wayland info dialog?
From the terminal just run
GDK_BACKEND=x11 peek
Does that work?

@phw Yes, it works in termianl with GDK_BACKEND=x11, but the desktop shortcut shows the Wayland info dialog.

Ok, I'll investigate

I know what's happening: since Peek is DBus activatable the command from the Desktop file is not used, but the one from the service file.I will fix that later today.

Has been fixed, just tested with the actual peek-git package. Please update your peek-git package and it should work.

@phw
It works now, thanks.
By the way, it's my first time to try an arch base distro, do I have to reinstall the package from AUR everytime? Is there any other way to get the updates from git? It seems like yaourt -Syua won't get the updates from git.

Yaourt had the "--devel" parameter for this.
yaourt -Syua --devel
This will update all your packages that have outdated version numbers and will also rebuild all VCS packages (-git, -bzr etc.)
Or if you want to update only a single package you can just run "yaourt -Syu peek-git" again.

@phw Can Pamac do that?

No, pacman is for binary package sources only. For the AUR you either
download the PKGBUILD and build with makepkg or you use one of the AUR
helpers to automate this.
