Hot keys not working since 1.4.4-2 on Debian testing 64-bit #97

Closed stefanos82 closed 4 years ago

stefanos82 commented 6 years ago

Since 2018-07-12 that clipit got upgraded to version 1.4.4-2, its hotkeys are not working at all.

When I press Ctrl-Alt-F to open Manage History, it doesn't do anything at all.

When I press Ctrl-Alt-H to open History, I get the following window:

Can we do something about it?

michal-juranyi commented 6 years ago

Same problem here.. I've done a little investigation and found out that it throws some errors instead showing GUI. Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve them.

(clipit:7183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 20:56:43.530: g_object_set_data: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

stefanos82 commented 6 years ago

Update: There is another issue thanks to this hotkeys' complexity.

When you go to Manage History and delete a line from your history, by revisiting your Manage History you can see the line retaining its space, but without the actual string in it.

As soon as you delete the empty line, it automatically deletes the immediate next line.

This behavior is rather critical in my humble opinion.

Same issue in my case (Debian testing)

Hi, same issue here : image The history pannel is like this, and the preferences panel is freezed after a first click inside it, also the hotkeys to access history clipboard doesn't work anymore...

Some logs :

System informations

uname -a : Linux oab-cycd9w1 4.17.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.17.8-1 (2018-07-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

cat /etc/debian_version : buster/sid

Temporary solution

Since i didn't see any news about a potential fix, I removed my clipit version and switch to the 1.4.2 version for the strethc repository.

If you also need this, here is the steps :

  1. Check the different version you can install 
    
$ apt-cache policy clipit
clipit:
Installed: 1.4.2-1.2
Candidate: 1.4.4-2
Version table:
*** 1.4.4-2 900
    900 http://http.debian.net/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
    -10 http://http.debian.net/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
 1.4.2-1.2 100
    -20 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
(in my case i'm on Debian testing, so i installed the 1.4.4-2 version of clipit from 'buster/testing' repository)

2. Then remove clipit (don't purge it, you will loose all your preferences)
`$ sudo apt autoremove clipit`

3. Now install again clipit but from the repository you want, in my case 'stretch/stable' repository
`$ sudo apt install -t stretch clipit`

4. Finally, check the installed version :

$ apt-cache policy clipit clipit: Installed: 1.4.2-1.2 Candidate: 1.4.4-2 Version table: 1.4.4-2 900 900 http://http.debian.net/debian buster/main amd64 Packages -10 http://http.debian.net/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages *** 1.4.2-1.2 100 -20 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status



Enjoy, you will now be able to launch again clipit without a freezed preference panel and with an hotkey working. (and everything else)
swillner commented 6 years ago

I have the same problem, but could not reproduce the error when custom building from the debian package source directory (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/clipit.git). Looks like it is an issue of the build itself...

stefanos82 commented 6 years ago

@swillner When you say custom building, what exactly did you change comparing the original build?

swillner commented 6 years ago

I build directly from the debian source repo (using ./autogen.sh and ./configure as in the documentation). So ok, "custom" only in the sense of building myself on my machine ;)

stefanos82 commented 6 years ago

@swillner ah OK, cool. Hmm...I wonder what's causing this problem with the existing package.

Same issue with version 1.4.4-2 after upgrading Ubuntu from 18.04 to 18.10. Temporary fixed by reinstalling lower version (1.4.2-1.2) of ClipIt from pkgs.org

trumberto commented 5 years ago

I got similar errors as @emjayko:

I found out, that if I hold the hotkey long enough, the history window appears.

sdragnev commented 5 years ago

Exact same issue for me with the latest master (looks like version string has been updated to 1.4.5), built with --with-gtk3. There were some deprecation warnings during configure but it finished fine. There's definitely been some recent improvements because even compiling wasn't completing for me a few months ago.

But I guess this particular issue is still to be fixed.

THANK YOU!

J-Reis commented 5 years ago

I now have this issue in Debian Stable 10 … unsurprisingly I guess. ClipIt version 1.4.4 from debian buster repo. Problem exactly as described above, hotkeys do not work. Terminal shows error: (clipit:1000): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 19:03:32.292: gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed when hotkey is pressed.

Possibly related: If I interact with the tray icon and pull up preferences, about, etc. they work fine. However if I try to use, for instance the History hotkey (as usual nothing happens on key press), but if I then try to open one of the dialogue/windows such as preferences or the about page, etc I will get a small black rectangle in the upper left portion of my screen, the intended window never appears and ClipIt must be killed to get rid of the black rectangle. Behavior is the same using jwm or fluxbox.

So is this project dead or what? Completely broken across many distributions and not a peep :(

I cannot speak for the ClipIt project in any way and cannot comment on whether the project has any life in it at this time or not. For what it's worth, I personally have moved over to using GPaste. Which is in the Debian repos and works very well. I post this, not to impugn the ClipIt project in any way, or even to claim that GPaste is the best alternative (indeed, there seem to be many) … but only in the hopes that it may help users who are presently encountering a functionality breaking issue and looking for a relatively quick & painless fix.

onlyjob commented 5 years ago

Thanks, @J-Reis. Personally I've settled on Clipman (provided by xfce4-clipman package) -- lightweight, stable and DE-neutral. GPaste is too GNOME-centric for those who prefer other Desktop Environments...

J-Reis commented 5 years ago

I hesitate to continue hijacking this thread discussing replacements, but I'm not sure what you've said is really true. I'm not running gnome, just a window manager on top of X and I don't recall GPaste pulling in a significant number of dependencies. Of course, I habitually choose the application that works best for me—I don't disregard anything solely on the basis of what libraries it uses, so perhaps my system is just massively bloated and all those Gnome dependencies were already present. Since I'm no expert, I just did a quick check of dependencies using apt (obviously the specifics are a bit Debian centric, but the general trend should hold regardless of system):

Seems like we have some progress...

On my system, version 1.4.5 is installed and when I press Ctrl+Alt+F, I get a popup window to search my clipboard.

If I press Ctrl+Alt-H though, it behaves as my original report.

johntyree commented 4 years ago

fwiw I liked the project and it did everything I wanted, but I've moved on to parcellite, which is worse but better because it works. :/

I get that it's OSS and we're all busy people, but I'm honestly pretty confused that this change wasn't just rolled back. "Hotkeys don't work" is a showstopper.

Where dou you got the 1.4.5 Version from? Have not seen any release yet. I ve just upgraded from Ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10 and installed / downgraded to clipit_1.4.2-1.2_amd64.deb which unfortunately does not work anymore as in 19.04. So either I find this 1.4.5 Version or I need to use another Clipboard Manager since working without one seems to be a nightmare!f

@CristianHenzel @stefanos82 When I use gdb to debug this issue, I found that if a create a break point at create_history_menu, and just continue to run after break stopped, everything goes fine, but I have no idea about it, I just wondering is the POPUP_DELAY is too small, something is not ready?

So I try to increase the POPUP_DELAY, and then every thing ok, amazing. But sorry to all, I don't know the reason. lol

I'd like to increase POPUP_DELAY, but failed to compile it from source. Ubuntu 19.10 main.c:211:7: error: unknown type name ‘GdkSeat’; did you mean ‘GdkSpan’?

Try to configure with gtk3

./configure --with-gtk3 --enable-appindicator=yes

Same issue here with Fedora 31, kernel-5.3.13-300, and clipit-1.4.4-5.fc31.x86_64

SuzanaK commented 4 years ago

Same problem with Ubuntu 19.10 and clipit-1.4.4+git20190202-1.

azadpsg commented 4 years ago

same problem here has anyone found anyway?

xamox commented 4 years ago

Harsh, I love clipit, been using it for years, recently upgraded to 19.10 and now it's not working. :(

I've just noticed this, took me a while to work out why shortcut keys weren't doing anything in other applications but also did nothing in Ubuntu.

Is it possible to install an older working version? I tried to follow the instructions from @Darcidride but unfortunately I got an error trying to use the -t stretch parameter.

Yes, it is possible to use version 1.4.2-1.2 (works fine for me on Ubuntu 19.10)

@SuzanaK thanks, would you mind explaining how I might do so? Sorry I'm an Linux n00b!

@SuzanaK thanks, would you mind explaining how I might do so? Sorry I'm an Linux n00b!

I downloaded the .deb file from here and installed it (in Ubuntu you can install .deb files with right mouse click or in the terminal via sudo dpkg -i <xyz.deb>).

I would actually suggest using apt to install the deb file as it would take care of dependencies as well. In this case I guess it's a nonissue but for future references.

(just do sudo apt install ./my.deb)

xamox commented 4 years ago

The old version worked. Thanks!

stefanos82 commented 4 years ago

Today I was informed by my upgrade procedure that clipit has been replaced with diodon.

I have tried to use it and didn't like it at all.

I guess it's a goodbye to those projects for me :shrug:

xamox commented 4 years ago

@stefanos82 I recently came across: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicator/. That has been working pretty well for me.

stefanos82 commented 4 years ago

I decided to use the XFCE4 clipboard and it's quite easy to use.

It has its own history mechanism that you can use much like clipit.

All you need to do is to assign it to a hotkey shortcut and that would be it, really.

mckellyln commented 4 years ago

Do either of those allow for keeping clipboard and primary in sync ?

@mckellyln When you say primary, what exactly do you mean?

Can you explain it to me please as I'm not a native English speaker?

mckellyln commented 4 years ago

Many clipboard managers keep the primary and selection clipboard "in sync" at least as an option. X11 has 2 clipboards (3 actually) and keyboard ctrl+c / ctrl+v ususally is connected to one clipboard and mouse drag+copy usually goes to another clipboard. If the clipboard manager keeps them in sync then you can drag+copy with mouse and ctrl+v with keyboard to get the same result. I am just asking of there is an option such as "sync clipboards" you can select if you want. "in sync" here means make them always the same, if one changes then copy it to the other so they match.

stefanos82 commented 4 years ago

You mean this?

From Paste instantly you get three options: None, Ctrl+V, and Shift+Insert

I hope this helps.

mckellyln commented 4 years ago

I am not sure, it does not seem clear to me from the words above. I was only trying to find out, as if it does not support this then I would keep looking for a clipbaord manager that does support it :-)

stefanos82 commented 4 years ago

When I hovered over Sync mouse selections, I get the following message tooltip:

If checked, the selections will be synced with the default clipboard in a way that you can paste what you select

Does this help a bit more this time?

mckellyln commented 4 years ago

Yes, that does seem more like the same as keeping the clipboards in sync. Thanks!

afelinczak commented 4 years ago

This is fixed in 1.4.5. I will sync missing patches from this version to my ppa and also build deb package. https://launchpad.net/~afelinczak/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Issue is not related to hotkeys - it is problem with GtkMenu.

BetterToAutomateTheWorld commented 4 years ago

@afelinczak Your fix is working, but we lose the notification icon (topicon) feature, is it normal ?

On GDM 3.36.2 in my case

afelinczak commented 4 years ago

Hey, It may be related to how deb package is compiled. Clipit compile scripts has flag enable-appindicator, switching it can help.

I may prepare second deb package, but for next 2-3 weeks Im very busy and cant promise any date.

BetterToAutomateTheWorld commented 4 years ago

Thank you for your quick answer

No problem, we will do as in for a few weeks

We're very grateful for your fix, keep your time :)
