Error on install #1

Closed abelramos closed 8 years ago

abelramos commented 10 years ago

I am getting an error after sudo ./setup.py install

running install running bdist_egg running minify_help Failed to minify SVG ./lib/virtualtouchpad/html/img/fullscreen-on.svg: python: can't open file './lib/build/../../scour/scour/scour.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I think the download zip is not updated, can you please update it? I am willing to see this module in action ;)

moses-palmer commented 10 years ago

Hi abelramos,

The download zip file is generated by github, and it appears that they do not include submodules when they package it.

You can either install with pip: sudo pip install virtual-touchpad

or clone the virtual-touchpad git repository: git clone https://github.com/moses-palmer/virtual-touchpad cd virtual-touchpad git submodule update --init --recursive sudo python setup.py install

I hope this resolves the issue!

abelramos commented 10 years ago

Ok, I followed your instructions, but when i run 'python -m virtualtouchpad' I get this:

Xlib.protocol.request.QueryExtension Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'destroy'" in <bound method SystemTrayIcon.del of <virtualtouchpad._platform.systray._linux.xsystray.SystemTrayIcon object at 0x98e034c>> ignored [Errno 0] Error: 'virtualtouchpad/_platform/systray/_linux/../../../html/img/icon196x196.png'

any ideas??

moses-palmer commented 10 years ago

Did you get a warning when running setup.py about ImageMagick missing?

I think the icons were not generated when you installed.

Does Virtual Touchpad stop, or does it keep running in the terminal even after the error message?

abelramos commented 10 years ago

No, I don't get any warnings when running setup.py The icons were generated, I looked for them in virtualtouchpad/html/img/ inside virtual_touchpad-0.11-py2.7.egg and they are there. And Virtual Touchpad stop, yes, it doesn't keep running in the terminal.

Thanks for your replies, I feel I am giving you too much trouble

moses-palmer commented 10 years ago

No worries, it is supposed to just work :-)

Could you please paste the entire printout of the application so that I can have a closer look?

neojski commented 10 years ago

I'm also having problems installing it:

sudo python2 setup.py build
running build

And basically I get the same problem when I try with python3.

When I tried pip:

moses-palmer commented 10 years ago

Those errors with scour look really strange... "file" not defined? What happens if you try to manually run scour? What platform is this?

neojski commented 10 years ago

Arch linux. 

python2 scour/scour/scour.py -h

Just works.

python2 scour/scour/scour.py -i lib/virtualtouchpad/html/img/fullscreen-on.svg -o xxx.svg

also works.

Maybe your program assumes python2 as default?

neojski commented 10 years ago

Looks like it was the case. After I symlinked python to python2 it worked. However, this is inacceptable change since python3 is default in arch. Will you extract it as separate bug?

neojski commented 10 years ago

But it still fails:

Running: python2 -m virtualtouchpad

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtual_touchpad-0.11-py2.7.egg/virtualtouchpad/_platform/__init__.py:20: UserWarning: Module virtualtouchpad was already imported from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtual_touchpad-0.11-py2.7.egg/virtualtouchpad/__init__.pyc, but /tmp/virtual-touchpad is being added to sys.path
/usr/bin/python2: ('Failed to locate platform driver for package %s', 'virtualtouchpad._platform.event'); 'virtualtouchpad' is a package and cannot be directly executed

I'm not really a python guy so it's difficult for me to help

moses-palmer commented 10 years ago

OK, that makes sense; I suppose scour does not support Python 3.

Could you please try to apply the patch below? It uses the Python interpreter used to launch the setup process to launch scour instead of "python".

Before you run the setup script again, please uninstall the current version from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtual_touchpad-0.11-py2.7.egg to allow us to focus on one issue at a time.

This is a problem with the way compiled Python modules are packaged on pypi and installer using setuptools: you need to have the dependencies, including headers, for any C libraries that they use installed, and it is not possible to list these dependencies in the metadata.

virtualtouchpad uses PIL---Python Imaging Library---to load the notification icon, and PIL is a compiled package and is thus compiled when it has been downloaded from the Python Package Index. One of its dependencies appears to libfreetype.

The possible solutions are to either install PIL using pacman---I thinks this package is what you want for Arch: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/python2-pillow/---or download the headers for libfreetype. I cannot help you with the latter, as I have no experience with Arch.

i get an access denied 403 error when trying to open the url in android browser any ideas how to move ahead windows 7 sp1 and samsung mobile
pip install virtual-touchpad didn't install it properly it wanted FCNTL module which isnt available for windows it seems

so git cloned , downloaded the dependencies (bottle ..... pywin32 for python version 2.7) and ran python setup.py install

this creates an egg file in c:\Python27\Lib\Site-packages
(because it is not a folder but an archive and error is thrown when doing LoadImage (icon ) it cant find the icon file
though it doesnt hinder the starting of the server i cannot connect to it

any pointers regarding what am i missing would be great

Starting server http://192.168.43.2:16080/... KeyboardInterrupt

I have tested to install using both pip and git clone and experience the same issues.

A temporary workaround for you is to open http://192.168.43.2:16080/index.xhtml instead, or to run the application from the repo directory by issuing the following commands in a command window:

set PYTHONPATH=lib
python -m virtualtouchpad

When running virtual-touchpad from the repo directory, the advertised URL also works.

I will need to update the packaging---the wheel available on PyPi supports only Linux, despite being marked as cross-platform---and support proper Windows packages.

Thanks moses for the reply yes i searched the directory yesterday for index.html found this xhtml (6 of them including some min.xhtml whose src seems to be for non touch devices i was able to open two pages index and index.min.xhtml one of them opens a page with nothing visible on the top and a black box in the bottom (index.xhtml) other opens a page which has only a question mark in the right top corner and other features similar to the earlier on (index.min.xhtml)

if i open both the url in the same pc that runs the server i get a your browser does not support touch events page
any ideas ? should i try installing opera in the mobile ?

lenovas shareit seems to flip the powerpoint slides from a mobile so in theory i should be able to get this touchpad working regards

moses-palmer commented 8 years ago

The *.min.xhtml files are just minified and inlined versions of the non-minified files.

Have you tested whether the track pad works? Upon successful launch, you will see a white bar at the top of the window and most of the screen covered by the actual track pad. Dragging your finger across the dark area should move the pointer on screen. If you flip your mobile to landscape, a keyboard will be displayed.

What Android web browser do you use? I have tested it only on Chrome. It is supposed to detect missing featured though, so an error message should be displayed if the browser is not supported.

1) yes i see the white bar and black trackpad portion on the android browser 2) the white bar appears to have a few sensitive points (squares that get highlighted like buttons) 3) those button like highlights appear to do nothing 4)the trackpad does not move the mouse pointer 5) pinch zoom or drag nothing appears to operate

This appears to be three simultaneous issues:

  1. Installing from PyPi does not work on Windows.
  2. When installing using setup.py on Windows, the systray icon fails to load.
  3. The application does not appear to work on your browser.

I just released 0.12.4 which addresses the two first issues: the dependencies now correctly depend on the current platform, and the icon file can be loaded even when running the wheel.

Regarding issue 3: Do you use the built-in Android Web Browser? You appear to have a rather old version of Android running, and the built in browser may not be supported. Have you tried using Chrome or another browser from the Play Store?

blabberer commented 8 years ago

1) yes using the inbuilt browser on an old samsung duos 2) no i haven't installed chrome yet. 3) i had opera earlier on this dump but uninstalled it to install candy crush or some other silly stuff like that on popular demand :) 4) will check if i can install chrome on this or opera again and revert back 5) thanks for the release will check them out too

blabberer commented 8 years ago

installed opera but it can't parse the xhtml (missing end tag on line 5 reparse as html ? error) i cant get chrome to install on this phone in the meantime tried this with another phone (redmi2) and the trackpad and keyboard works nicely thank you for the updates
