Description
Hi.
Today I tried to install luakit with Manjaro ARM an the PinebookPro
Unfortunately I get the same error with the provided package and installing from source when I start it the first time:
This is from the source code version:
[luakit]$ luakit -v

[ 0.182785] E [core/common/util]: unprotected error in call to Lua API (bad light userdata pointer)
Any ideas?
