Photon89 commented 6 years ago

The AUR package is currently broken, sorry for that. I couldn't find a fix quickly, will have to look more thoroughly into it. I fear, I will only have time in one week for it...

Jakob-S commented 6 years ago

Thanks, would be great, cause I'm going to give a lecture in a few weeks about complex numbers, and Reveal.JS really cool to use for it cause of the Chalkboard Plugin. I'll try in 1-2 weeks a second time. Good Luck :+1:

linux-man commented 6 years ago

You could try AppImage for now. Also - to whom may concern - Chalkboard plugin (and a lot of other plugins) is not included in Unreel. To use it you can export the presentation as HTML and then manually add it.

Jakob-S commented 6 years ago

Hello linux-man, What exactly is AppImage? Could you share a link or sth like this? Thanks

linux-man commented 6 years ago

I was referring the AppImage format you can find at https://github.com/linux-man/unreel/releases.

Jakob-S commented 6 years ago

I've unpacked the AppImage using mount and cp. Then I've copied the official plugins from GitHub (reveal.js-plugins) to unreel/usr/bin/resources/app/reveal.js/plugin/ and packed it as AppImage. But it seems not to be recognized by the main program. Which files do I also have to edit, that the added plugins gonna work?

linux-man commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. I added Chalkboard to Unreel but found a problem I couldn't solve. The plugin forget the drawings when moving between slides. This is probably related to the security restrictions of the electron webview element used to render reveal presentations. It works as a sandboxed browser so there must be something that this plugin is not allowed to do. For now, the best solution (and it's a one way path because you can't reopen presentations exported as html although you can always save to reel format to edit later) is to

Create your presentation.
Save as HTML.
Inside the presentation folder, copy Chalkboard plugin to 'plugin' folder.

Open index.html. At the end you will find a 'Reveal.initialize' script. Change

        dependencies: [
        {src: "plugin/notes/notes.js", async: true},
        {src: "plugin/highlight/highlight.js", async: true, callback: function() {hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();}},
        {src: "plugin/zoom-js/zoom.js", async: true},
        {src: "plugin/search/search.js", async: true},
        {src: "plugin/katex/katex.js", async: true},
        {src: "plugin/chart/Chart.min.js"},
        {src: "plugin/chart/csv2chart.js"}]

to

          66: function() { RevealChalkboard.toggleChalkboard() },   // toggle chalkboard when 'b' is pressed
          46: function() { RevealChalkboard.clear() },  // clear chalkboard when 'DEL' is pressed

          68: function() { RevealChalkboard.download() },   // download recorded chalkboard drawing when 'd' is pressed
        }

Use a browser to show your presentation.

Sorry. That's all I can offer for now. :disappointed:

Jakob-S commented 6 years ago

Hey linux-man, thanks for the detailed advice :) Tried to copy and paste you code into my index.html. If i press "b", the chalkboard appears, but i can't draw on it. Is it maybe the browser which doesn't work properly with it? Using Vivaldi 1.14.1077.50 (stable)

linux-man commented 6 years ago

I can use it with firefox and chrome but with issues. I tried the Chalkboard online demo and found the same problems: Sometimes you can't draw. Sometimes "c" don't work. If you return to a slide with drawings you can't draw over. Most of the times you need to "BACKSPACE" to draw again.

Photon89 commented 6 years ago

@linux-man: For some reason building fails even with the old 1.2.0 release though neither the Unreel code nor the PKGBUILD have changed. Looks like some make dependencies (electron?) were updated and now the building fails. Do you have any idea what might have happened? Unfortunately, I have no experience in electron packages and the unreel package is the only one I (try to) maintain, I used a different package as a template... Are there any build instructions which could help updating the package?

linux-man commented 6 years ago

You're probably building with the last Electron (1.8.2). Try to build 1.3.1 release. Electron 1.8 breaks something so I'm sticking with 1.7 branch.

Photon89 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the quick reply! :) I'm getting the following error with 1.3.1:

It's the same error @Jakob-S found. Please confirm that you are using Electron 1.7.12. Remove any package-lock.json and node_modules folder. If that don't work I'm afraid I'm lost.

Photon89 commented 6 years ago

I cleaned the build dir and tried rebuilding. It says, it uses electron 1.7.12 but I don't know if it really does. Through package management only 1.8.2 is available... This is the output:

Found one bug report with a similar error https://github.com/EragonJ/Kaku/issues/529. I can build with the latest electron-builder but it looks like you can't. Maybe downgrade? Could you change devDependencies to "electron-builder": "~18.0.1" and try again? Other option is to use the binary zip or deb.

Sorry for the late reply. The building works with the change you proposed. What does it mean, what are possible next steps to fix the package?

@Jakob-S: If it's not yet too late, you can retry using the AUR package, it should work for now (I changed the electron-builder version as advised by @linux-man and it builds now).

There are really 2 issues here. In the near future I must find why Unreel can't build on the last Electron branch - 1.8.x - and fix it. The other issue is with electron-builder and that is more tricky. It works on Ubuntu/Mint but breaks on Arch. It's hard to believe that one of the most updated distros has problems with an updated package. I'll have to install Arch but hope that @Photon89 will find the problem - I have no experience with PGKBUILD. Freezing electron and electron-builder versions will do the trick for now.

@linux-man: PKGBUILDs are just recipes for building an app plus some metadata like dependencies, conflicts etc. In the simplest case the interesting part of a PKGBUILD is just a "./configure && make && make install". So if I would understand why the compilation fails, fixing the PKGBUILD is not a problem at all. But since I have absolutely no experience with electron, I'm really lost and don't understand the root of the problem so far...

This seems to be fixed in 1.4.0.

Great. Closing.
