Urgent - Autokey Broken in Ubuntu 13.10 #259

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Boot the latest live CD of Ubuntu 13.10:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

2. Install autokey:
sudo apt-get install autokey-gtk

3. Create a phrase and make a hotkey for that phrase. If can achieve that, the 
hotkey won't work.

4. Create a phrase and make an abbreviation. If you can achieve that, open 
gedit and attempt to trigger the abbreviation you made. It won't work.

5. Look for the applet indicator for auto-key. It is not there.

6. Add a folder to autokey. Try to delete that folder using AutoKey's gui. You 
can't delete it.

Sorry to mention so many issues in one report, but perhaps they're all related. 
I'm using autokey-gtk in Ubuntu 13.04 successfully. Its indicator is missing 
but at least hotkeys work.

While your looking at this, it might be helpful to look at these links too:

Ubuntu 13.10 will be release on October 17th 2013. Please help.

After initially submitting this bug report, I regressed back to Ubuntu 13.04 
due to autokey not working.

Today, I upgraded again to Ubuntu 13.10. Autokey crashed upon login, and here's 
the exception I received:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autokey/+bug/1236123

Now, I can launch AutoKey's gui, but I can't get hotkeys and abbreviations to 
function.

This seems to be an issue with python-xlib having bad pointers:

Autokey-GTK now works in Ubuntu 13.10, thanks to Marc Deslauriers. He fixed the 
python-xlib package that was corrupting autokey-gtk.

Note that Autokey-GTK still does not work for some users after the pyhton-xlib 
fix:

With recent updates in Ubuntu 13.10 Autokey-GTK can now execute shortcuts 
properly. 

However, indicator-menu item still does not appear.

The only way I could get it to work and even to open is to right click the icon 
and "Open as Administrator".  If I simply double-clicked the icon from the 
desktop, autokey would not open and I got some "Number 1 value can not be none" 
or something like that.  However, when I opened as Administrator then and only 
then did it work like it should.  Hope this helps
