Extension not working using AUR Install Method

[Anthony-Fiddes]

Hi!

I installed the extension but am not seeing any change in my nautilus. I'm running arch and Gnome 45.3. I figure maybe I missed something simple, so I'll walk through how I installed per the wiki instructions:

yay -S nautilus-open-any-terminal
gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal terminal kitty

The second command responded No such schema “com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal”.

I figured maybe I missed something so I ran

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas, which did complete, and

glib-compile-schemas ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/, which complained about the folder not existing.

Ofc I ran nautilus -q and reopened a couple times throughout and still did not see the option. I also tried restarting/logging in and out, and restarting Gnome.

When I run nautilus, this is the output:

❯ nautilus
** Message: 10:01:36.643: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files

What's the output of ls /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal.gschema.xml?

[Anthony-Fiddes]

❯ ls /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal.gschema.xml
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal.gschema.xml': No such file or directory

[lvxnull]

That's weird. What's the output of pacman -Ql nautilus-open-any-terminal? Have you tried installing from the AUR manually, without using yay?

For some reason pyenv seems to override the install location of the python package. Try switching to the system python interpreter with pyenv global system, rebuild and see if it works

[Anthony-Fiddes]

Huh... I could have sworn the extension used to work, maybe it stopped working when I installed pyenv and I just didn't notice straight away. I tried running pyenv global system but unfortunately the context menu still isn't showing up. I'll try again after a quick restart.

[lvxnull]

Rebuild the package with the system python interpreter and see if it works then.

[Anthony-Fiddes]

We're getting closer!

The schema actually appears in dconf now:

Unfortunately though, the context menu isn't showing up yet and there's some weirdness now where nautilus -q is not closing my existing nautilus windows like it used to. I'll try logging out and logging back in to see if that helps.

[Anthony-Fiddes]

Success!

[Anthony-Fiddes]

I'm not quite sure what the solution to help other users who use both pyenv and nautilus-open-any-terminal is here.

Would it just be to put a little note in the README? Or maybe to check for the existence of pyenv and set pyenv global to system and then back to whatever it was before installation (seems like that could maybe get complicated in ways I'm not seeing immediately)?

Edit: Or maybe this could be seen as an issue to submit with pyenv. I'm happy to do so, just not sure what I would say yet.

[lvxnull]

This is an issue with the aur package, not pyenv. I'll see if the command I use to build the debian version would work, but the long term solution is to avoid setup.py install.

[Anthony-Fiddes]

I see! Thanks for looking into it, and lmk if there's any way I can help!

[lvxnull]

I found a way to fix this issue.

package() {
  cd "${pkgname}"

  python3 setup.py install --root "${pkgdir}" --home /usr

  # Don't install the module
  rm -rf "${pkgdir}/usr/lib"
  find "${pkgdir}" -name "__pycache__" -type d -exec rm -rf {} +
}

@Stunkymonkey please add this to the AUR package or give me write access so I can add this myself

[Stunkymonkey]

hey together,

was a bit bussy. Thanks for solving. new package version is pushed.

[Stunkymonkey]

@lvxnull can you post your AUR username, so I can add you as maintainer?

[lvxnull]

@Stunkymonkey it's lvxnull
