Thanks for reporting this issue!

Which Desktop Environment are you using? Gnome Shell? If yes, which version? gnome-shell --version

[dynobo]

Oh, on the second look, I've noticed that you are using the very old version v0.1.13. Can please update and try again? (Or do you have a reason why you are using that old one?)

[nesper8]

GNOME Shell 41.1

Im using the pip version actually which is not upgrade after pip install --upgrade normcap

[nesper8]

This comes on the latest AppImage

[dynobo]

Hey @nesper8, I identified the root-cause. As other users are affected, I decided to track the issue in #159. Please follow that issue to get informed about updates.

[dynobo]

@nesper8 The error you see in AppImage is a different one. It seems like some dependencies are not getting properly packed. Looking into that one, too.

[dynobo]

@nesper8, I just released the v0.2.10, it should fix the your first error, but it doesn't yet solve the appimage dependency issue.

However, as the Python package shouldn't have any dependency issue (because you have to install the deps on your own ;) it would be awesome if you could test the v0.2.10 from pypi.org and report back how it works for you :-)

[nesper8]

I... uh switched to windows so really cant test it out

[nesper8]

back on fedora again pip version works pretty well

would love to see if it would remove the dependancy for xclip sometime in the future

[dynobo]

@nesper8 Oh, if I remember correctly xclip shouldn't be a dependency anymore. It was dropped as dependency quit some time ago... Did I miss this somewhere in the documentation?

Another idea: Is it possible, that you installed an older version of NormCap? ( check version with pip list | grep normcap) This can happen, if you are installing with Python 3.10+, as an older version once was compatible, but the current version isn't (yet).

[nesper8]

yeah looks like i have an older version 0.1.13 spcifically due to python3.10+

cant remove python3.10 cuz it breaks gnome on fedora

the AppImage version still has that openssl dependancy error

[dynobo]

Thx for trying and reporting back, @nesper8 ! :blush:

Yes, I couldn't solve the openssl issue in the appimage (yet).

No need to uninstall your system's Python version in order to use a different version: It is quite common to install different versions in parallel, afaik pyenv is the most popular tool for that.

However, if you are not familiar with pyenv, I'd recommend you just keep using the (older) NormCap version if that works for you. You can still switch to a new version, once the openssl issue is solved or I was able to make it ready for Python 3.10. :-)

[nesper8]

no worries mate after rigorous testing i finally got the latest version working through the magic of shell scripts after cloning latest stable build i created a shell script at project root containing this

#!/bin/sh
STARTDIR=$(pwd)
TOML_DIR=$(dirname "$0")
cd "$TOML_DIR" || exit
poetry run python -m normcap

and created a keyboard event on gnome settings to execute this shell script
