Just to cover all the bases, make sure you have all of the system packages installed listed in the docs.
That error sometimes happens when you have multiple versions of guake installed. Double-check that guake is in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin: which guake. If it's not, uninstall any other versions you might have tried installing (e.g. from pip or from a source build).
I assume you're using a ppa to install guake? If those actions don't work, you can try switching from the ppa to the system version of guake (3.9.0 => 3.8.5).
sudo apt uninstall guake
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:linuxuprising/guake
sudo apt update
sudo apt install guake
Ive received the same error message today.
Ive got all dependencies and required packages. It just stopped working all of sudden.
I have uninstalled guake and re-installed with ppa method. But now it says guake package isnt installed
@LeDuble It's unlikely that it "just stopped working". Do you have automatic updates enabled?
Try installing all the packages listed in the docs just in case there's a new one or something. Then Remove the ppa by following the instructions listed in my comment above. I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.1 and the latest version of guake from the regular system package index is 3.8.5-1 (apt info guake) and it starts fine for me. (It has other bugs, but that's not the issue right now).
Uninstalled guake, removed the ppa repo, and installed the earlier version similar traceback errors

Python 3.10.6
@StewAlexander-com Going with the system version worked for me just recently, which is why I'm confused. Double-check you don't have the pip version installed (pip3 uninstall guake and pip uninstall guake for good measure).
Also, what's the output of which guake, which python and head $(which guake)?
Using pip3 uninstall guake actually deleted guake, that was likely my culprit...
Re-installing via apt went without issue
Yep that did it!!
Thanks @nmay231
So, bigger issue is why the latest guake release (available via pip or via this repo) doesn't like the latest version of Ubuntu?
Hmm toggling visibility via key command (like Shift-F11) doesn't appear to work on the release available via apt, does it work for anyone else? If not I'll open a different bug
@StewAlexander-com I don't think it is the version that's causing the issue, but rather the install location and where the data is expected to be found (it can't find the data folder python3.10/site-packages/guake/data/gschemas.compiled). You can track #1971 for when that issue will be resolved.
As for the toggle issue, that is due to Wayland blocking certain or not using global keybinds (I forget which). I can't find the issue right now, but the solution is to create a system-wide keybind (using ubuntu settings) that calls guake-toggle or guake -t.
@nmay231 - interesting info
For those not in the know, you can find info about Ubuntu keybindings here
Closing this as it looks like the other issues are addresses in other open tickets, thanks to everyone for their help
Hi.
Using PPA's last version (3.9.0-1), works on Ubuntu 22.04.1.
sudo apt remove guake --purge
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/guake
sudo apt update
sudo apt install guake
After some time...
$ guake --version
Guake Terminal: 3.9.0
VTE: 0.68.0
VTE runtime: 0.68.0
Gtk: 3.24.33
I hope it works for you too.
