Default Task Switcher not working correctly on Manjaro KDE Plasma #833

Open franciscosili opened 9 months ago

franciscosili commented 9 months ago

Describe the bug I have installed Kinto.sh and now the task switcher does not work correctly. By default, when I type Cmd+Tab it is mapped to Alt+Tab. It does work but changing one app at the time and I don't get the Visualisation of it (in my case being Large Icons), even if I keep Cmd pressed.

I might be thinking this is because once the command is executed, it does not recognise that the key is kept pressed.

On the other hand, when I go in the reverse order, that is, I press Cmd+Shft+Tab the visualisation appears correctly.

Expected behavior Visualisation of the Task Switcher when using the default TaskSwitcher command.

Install Type: Bare Metal Distro: Manjaro 6.5.3-1 DE: KDE 5.27.8

What I can see from the logs posted above, there is a case something fails. I do not understand everything fully, since I'm quite a beginner: I just connected my Magic Keyboard to a new Manjaro install and expected everything to work.

I have tried previously, some months ago, probably on an older Manjaro version, and everything worked fine out-of-the-box.

Thank you very much for your help. Cheers, Fran

You bypassed the Python “managed environment” problem during the Kinto install by using pip or pipx to install xkeysnail separately, which installed v0.4.0 instead of the v0.3.0 branch that the Kinto installer clones in its own folder in Downloads.

Go into the Downloads/kinto-master/xkeysnail folder and install from that folder with pipx. 

sudo pipx install --upgrade .

That should overwrite the system-level xkeysnail install with the correct version that doesn’t have this problem. Then restart Kinto to start using it.

Hi @RedBearAK Thanks a lot for the response. Indeed it was that.

However doing that didn't work at first but needed to add the flag --break-system-packages to that command, and run the install.sh script again.

I tried it with a fresh isntall on Kubuntu and Manjaro KDE, both cases needed that flag.

The whole sequence of commands was then:

$ /bin/bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbreaves/kinto/HEAD/install/linux.sh || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbreaves/kinto/HEAD/install/linux.sh)

If it fails do the following:

$ cd ~/Downloads/kinto-master/xkeysnail
$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade --break-system-packages .
$ cd ~/Downloads/kinto-master
$ source install/linux.sh

and finally everything worked well.

Thanks a lot!

@franciscosili

The point of using “pipx” instead of “pip” or “pip3” is to avoid needing that flag. It is a different program.
