Unable to build Yaru cursor

[meetdilip]

I was trying to change the " busy " and " watch " art for Yaru cursor. As instructed in the readme file, I installed python-pil and x11-apps and successfully rendered the cursor theme. I now have the bitmaps folder. But when I try ./x11-make.sh, I get

$ ./x11-make.sh
Error reading config file!
Error reading config file!

Will it be possible for you to help me out of this ? Thanks.

I have an edited source-cursors.svg

------ ISSUE TEMPLATE starts HERE ------

Expected Behavior

Successful build

Actual Behavior

$ ./x11-make.sh Error reading config file! Error reading config file!

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Use ./x11-make.sh command

Software that presents the issue

• Name: Ubuntu
• Version: 18.04

Yaru version : I downloaded from " master " yesterday

Please report the Yaru version in your system using one of the following commands

• If you installed Yaru from PPA

  $ apt show communitheme

• If you installed Yaru via Snap

  $ snap info communitheme

• I you installed from the sources, go the Yaru folder and copy the output of the following terminal command instead

  $ git describe

I can't reproduce this. I didn't make changes to the assets, but I can run the script with no issues

Adding some verbose logging I got this:

[meetdilip]

Thanks for the try. I downloaded this repo and changed the SVG. bitmaps folder was generated fine but got stuck with x11-make.sh. It would be great if you can try with my modified SVG ( link below ). Thanks

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fxq6wq6rpaKY1we2FlRV5RPNb1YUM19J/view?usp=sharing

[clobrano]

I tried, but it works fine on my machine. Could you try to modify the x11-make.sh script adding the line set -x above the line THEME=Suru and then run the script and copy here the result?

[meetdilip]

I got the error again. Now and before, Suru > cursors folders is being created outside the directory in which the command is run

$ ./x11-make.sh

• xcursorgen all-scroll.in ../../../Suru/cursors/all-scroll Error reading config file!

It's basically saying that the it cannot read file all-scroll.in in current directory, which should be icon/src/cursor/bitmap

[meetdilip]

bitmaps was generated by the script. I am not sure what went wrong. I am attaching the whole folder. Only thing I changed is source-cursors.svg . If possible, please look into it. Thanks

[clobrano]

bitmap is part of Yaru repository though (https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/tree/master/icons/src/cursors/bitmaps). If your bitmaps folder is empty or does not have all the files expected by x11-make.sh, the problem was probably in render-cursors.py

[meetdilip]

I am not sure. Here is my folder. I got it from this repo and svg is all that I have changed. Thanks.

src.zip

[clobrano]

how did you call render-cursor.py script?

[meetdilip]

As in readme

./render-cursors.py source-cursors.svg

https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/blob/master/icons/src/cursors/README.md

[clobrano]

Tried again with your svg and running python script first, everything worked fine.

I suggest you to copy your svg into a newly cloned Yaru repo, double check that bitmaps folder is complete before and after running the python script.

[meetdilip]

@clobrano I see. No idea why it didn't work for me. If you have completed the build, can you share it with me, please ? There was no bitmaps folder when I ran the Python script. The script created that folder. I am not sure what to check for before and after. Thanks.

[meetdilip]

Downloaded this repo again and extracted it. Deleted bitmaps folder and SVG file. Used my SVG file. Started render command. bitmaps folder took time and was completed using render script. When I tried ./x11-make.sh , the same error occurred.

Then I tried ./win32-make.sh the result was an error. Looks like my only chance of using my modified cursor theme is to use the build you got.

$ ./w32-make.sh

What you said was right. .in files were not produced in bitmaps folder by the render script. I am not sure why .in files were not made.

Update 1 :

I took the .in files from the downloaded repo and put them alongside generated bitmaps folder. This time, the cursor theme build was happening. Outside the folder suru > cursors were made and partial cursor theme happened as seen below

I am not sure what is wrong. :(

[clobrano]

Honestly, I've never used this script. Could you tell me which is your expected workflow? Maybe this way I can figure out what's the problem

[meetdilip]

When I download the repo, I took out the src folder. Inside it, I go to cursors folder. Then I delete bitmaps folder and replace source-cursors.svg with my own custom SVG.

Then, inside the cursors folder, I run ./render-cursors.py source-cursors.svg . But that is only creating folders and PNG, not .in files in bitmaps. Assuming that everything is fine, I run ./x11-make.sh. It creates a folder named Suru>cursors outside src folder inside which I am performing those actions

Assuming that my laptop is not ready, I tried this on my desktop. I still got folders and PNG in bitmaps but not the .in files. So I took the .in files from the Suru repo and put it in the bitmaps folder and then tried ./x11-make.sh. This time Suru >cursors folder outside src folder has some PNG.

I am not sure what is wrong. Please see if you can do anything. Thanks.

[clobrano]

Silly question maybe, but are you sure you're supposed to delete the bitmaps folder?

Looking at the pythons script, it doesn't seem supposed to generate any .in file, only the files inside bitmaps subfolders (e.g. 24x24, ...)

[meetdilip]

I see. I wondered the same. That is why I added the .in files from suru repo I downloaded on my desktop. That worked a bit. ie, Suru>cursors folder alongside src folder now had some PNG. But even that is no useful cursor theme.

Do you want me to try without deleting bitmaps ?

[clobrano]

Do you want me to try without deleting bitmaps ?

yes. It seems that the .in files simply instruct xcursorgen where to find the PNG files (generated by render-cursor.py) and some other metadata

[meetdilip]

When I tried without touching bitmaps folder, it says

name@name-laptop-2005:~/Downloads/yaru-master/icons/src/cursors$ ./render-cursors.py source-cursors.svg
Inkscape 0.92.4 (unknown) interactive shell mode. Type 'quit' to quit.

[meetdilip]

@clobrano please forget the above error. It was due to a typo in command.

[meetdilip]

Step 2 : I kept the .in files intact and moved the folders containing PNG. Now used command ./render-cursors.py source-cursors.svg . It is generating folders and PNG. I will try ./x11-make.sh after that.

[clobrano]

When I tried without touching bitmaps folder, it says

name@name-laptop-2005:~/Downloads/yaru-master/icons/src/cursors$ ./render-cursors.py source-cursors.svg
Inkscape 0.92.4 (unknown) interactive shell mode. Type 'quit' to quit.

I guess this is expected

[meetdilip]

It will take some time

Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00 Area 312:408:336:432 exported to 32 x 32 pixels (128 dpi) Bitmap saved as: bitmaps/32x32/watch_0007.png Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00 Area 312:408:336:432 exported to 48 x 48 pixels (192 dpi) Bitmap saved as: bitmaps/48x48/watch_0007.png Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00 Area 312:408:336:432 exported to 64 x 64 pixels (256 dpi) Bitmap saved as: bitmaps/64x64/watch_0007.png

Above is a part of the command line progress

[meetdilip]

Looks like bitmaps folder is fine. Suru > cursors should have 179 items ( as in repo ). For the first time, Suru > cursors is not blank and after 20 minutes have 57 cur files. I think we have to give it time.

[meetdilip]

@clobrano I kept the PC and Terminal ON till now. But nothing. The same 57 files. What to do ? :(

[meetdilip]

Looks like that's all. The cursor theme is working. I changed the pointer and that is live now. So is the busy icon. Thanks.

[meetdilip]

Ok. This is strange. I let my desktop run ./x11-make.sh for 2.5 hours. Not run, I simply did not close the terminal and let the desktop as it is. After 2.5 hours, it got 179 files with 34 MB. Same as what we have in the repo, but with my modifications. That means it worked correctly if we give an enormous amount of time. Perhaps something to do with packages on my laptop as well. Right now, looks like everything is solved. Thanks.

[clobrano]

I didn't expect it to take so long, but at least the configuration is correct :+1: :)

[meetdilip]

The cursor waiting icon is still the blue one. I don't know from where it fetched that shape and colour. Perhaps .in files store such data. The plain busy icon is orange

[meetdilip]

@ubuntujaggers This time gave it 4 hours with my own SVG. Tried an old Yaru-master, the latest Yaru-master, latest Suru-master. Up to Bitmap folder it is working fine, but when I try ./x11-make.sh with the latest yaru-master, I get this and it is stuck here. @madsrh told me you might know how to fix. Thanks.
