Fedora installation not working.

[reesericci]

Every installation method I try it fails in one way or another. Here's the log output after launching with the setup.py installation method:

--- Logging error ---

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I pushed a fix for NameError: name 'is_debug' is not defined

As for The 'evdev' distribution was not found, do you have evdev installed? https://python-evdev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

[reesericci]

yeah, I have evdev installed and now I just get could not figure out the version.

[sezanzeb]

the "Could not figure out the version" error should not prevent the app from running. Does it still not run? Did you pull the latest changes from the github master? git pull

[reesericci]

is there any specific way i need to uninstall the software? I tried to install it again and it is still not working

[reesericci]

i used setup.py

[sezanzeb]

use at your own risk:

sudo find /usr -iname "*key*mapper" -exec rm {} -r \;
sudo find /etc -iname "*key*mapper" -exec rm {} -r \;

I have done this in the past and it worked.

This is what I meant with "It will be a pain to uninstall"

I wish someone would add a script to key-mapper to build .rpm packages
