You can then either Google what dependencies you may be missing
or open an issue ticket.
Gnome may not support appindicators well, so by default you may need to install packages before enabling the System Tray.
You may try one of the following extensions.
1) AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
2) TopIcons Plus
Note: you may want these supporting packages
'sudo apt install gnome-tweaks gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1'
pacman -Q | grep appindicator
gnome-shell-extension-appindicator 42-1
libappindicator-gtk3 12.10.0.r296-2
pacman -Q | grep tweaks
gnome-tweaks 42beta+r9+gc66d8c3-1
which xkeysnail
/usr/bin/xkeysnail
Not exactly sure what I can do here. I've tried to enable xkeysnail, but doesn't seem to have an effect. Can't see keyswap. Happy for any ideas!
Thanks!
- Do you get anything more useful in the systemd log if you remove
--quiet? - Can you run /usr/bin/xkeysnail on your own from a shell?
Hi Josh! Thanks for your reply. Looks like the config.py is missing (see below). The xkeysnail github page provides an example config.py but this appears to be for emacs shortcuts and I'm guessing that kinto is supposed to have its own config.
Not sure if I should just grab the example config. There's no config.py in the kinto github repo. Any suggestion?

@buzuddha I was having the same issue on Ubuntu 22.04 when using Wayland vs Xorg. To resolve it I followed these steps:
- Uninstal Kinto
- Disable Wayland in
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf(source) - Reboot
- Run
xhost +SI:localuser:root(source) - Re-install Kinto
Oh sweet! I'll give this a shot when I'm back from vacation! I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Buzuddha

Hmmmm.. typically you can click on a gear icon or something on the login screen to switch to X11 mode. I may need to rework the installer - it’s not supposed to install on Wayland at all & tells users that when it properly detects wayland running. Something has changed though or maybe xwayland interferes.. I dunno.
So I'm back to linux and want to actually get this working. I've gone through a fresh install of arch and am in Gnome but logged in with the x11 session via the gear in gdm.
The install fails but xkeysnail opens and disables the entire keyboard
Install Type: Bare Metal Distro: 6.2.6-arch1-1 DE: Gnome X11 (though wayland is default - is there wayland support?) Branch: master? Commit: git rev-parse --short HEAD?

You can then either Google what dependencies you may be missing
or open an issue ticket.
Gnome may not support appindicators well, so by default you may need to install packages before enabling the System Tray.
You may try one of the following extensions.
1) AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
2) TopIcons Plus
Note: you may want these supporting packages
'sudo apt install gnome-tweaks gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1'
This part to mee seems like the first issue that presents itself. I've googled but not much clarity on how to fix this.

Looked into hellozach's advice. In /etc/gdm/custom.conf WaylandEnable=false was already there.

The bottom is me mashing keys that don't do anything. By closing the terminal the keyboard works again.
xhost +SI:localuser:root doesn't fix anything for me.
@buzuddha
By closing the terminal the keyboard works again.
Yes, closing the terminal ends the xkeysnail process that you ran in the terminal, so it gets keyboard control back.
This part is technically not a problem, it's been there a long time:
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
No one seems to know anything about why xkeysnail has started failing in this way (dead keyboard, no output) on different distros lately. The only solution I've found is switching to keyszer, the xkeysnail fork created by joshgoebel.
Some others have been able to follow the instructions here to get a working Kinto config:
https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/pull/750#issuecomment-1451170466
Thanks RedBearAK. I'm halfway through the keyszer instructions but am stumped.
What does this mean?
"need to drop the two files attached to this PR in your Kinto config folder"
What is a PR? Where might these be attached?
@buzuddha
The page where the comment thread is located is a “Pull Request” that would change 2 files. At the top of the thread you’ll see something that says “Files changed (2)”. Go there and you would see the two files. But then you would have to figure out how to download the raw files.
Instead, I’d recommend grabbing the newer version of my config from a comment further down the thread.
https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/pull/750#issuecomment-1454752090
But one of the include files in the zip may have two extensions “.py.py” that you may need to fix.
Hi @RedBearAK, thanks for the explanation, I'm not so well versed. Ok so I pulled the toshy.zip and put everything in the correct spot. Sidenote, I had to manually load the uinput module for keyszer to start.
This still killed my keyboard. In fact it killed mouse input too! I could see key presses/mouse clicks in the terminal, and see remaps indicated, but nothing happening. The first time I ran it, I realized I didn't have an F16 so had to hard reset. Ack!

Sidenote, I had to manually load the uinput module for keyszer to start.
I’m not sure what this means. What exactly was the problem starting keyszer, and what exactly did you do?
I’ve never had much luck witharch distributions, and haven’t been doing any testing on them. There are several Kinto issues reporting strange problems that seem to only occur on Manjaro.
The config doesn’t detect the distro name, but that should just mean no distro-specific keymaps would activate. So that shouldn’t be any problem.
Wondering exactly how you set up your permissions. It’s not recommended as best practice but have you tried running keyszer as root via sudo? You may need to run the xhost command first, to give root access to the X server.
xhost +SI:localuser:root
I’m not sure what this means.
sudo modprobe uinput
This persisted after reboots.
lsmod | grep uinput
uinput 20480 0
Anyhow, bummer that arch based distros are having issues. I can't seem to run it as sudo...
$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect

# keyszer -w -v -c ~/.config/kinto/toshy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/hugh/.local/bin/keyszer", line 5, in <module>
from keyszer.cli import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyszer'
I get this in the pip install
WARNING: The script keyszer is installed in '/home/hugh/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
So I had to add ~/.local/bin to the $PATH, but when I run via sudo, I get this error, even though I can see
sudo echo $PATH
stuff:places:otherthings:/home/hugh/.local/bin
is there something about having installed via pip with the --user option that has made this a problem?
Arch tends to be pretty different from the Debian-based (Ubuntu) or Red Hat-based (Fedora) distros most desktop users are on. But Manjaro also seems to have its own special problems sometimes that don't always affect other Arch distros, from what I've seen.
I've never had to do anything to make uinput work, which makes me wonder if the groups and permissions are all set up to make uinput work like it does on distros like Fedora/Ubuntu and similar. You might have better luck asking about that in the keyszer issues. I'm generally very unfamiliar with Arch, because whenever I tried to use it on the machines I have available, it wouldn't boot or had weird issues that I never encountered in other types of distros.
You should probably google up some explanations of how the PATH environment variable works in Linux. But to summarize, the variable tells the shell where to look for "executables", which is the closest thing the Linux platform has to what other platforms call "applications". The environment variable normally has some system-level paths in it (like /usr/bin/), put there by a system-level config file when you open a shell. Then you can add to the path, which you sometimes need to do in order to get binaries in your ~/.local/bin to be accessible without using the full path. As mentioned by the pip installer.
If you do add to the path, you want to include the original path variable contents to avoid losing all the paths that exist:
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
This would put your local bin path at the beginning of the entire path string, but retain the existing PATH contents. To make this persistent, you'd put this line at the end of a file like ~/.bashrc in your home folder (most default shells are Bash). In my case, I add this to ~/.zsh since I'm using Zsh as my shell in the terminal. You can close and open a new terminal to make it work, or use source ~/.bashrc to re-run the "rc" file without closing the shell.
You don't generally want to change root's path variable (although if you don't change the "rc" file for root, this won't be persistent, so don't worry about that, it will return to normal once you log out of the shell/terminal). The problem with root not knowing where keyszer is when it's only installed in your local user bin can be easily overcome by just giving it the absolute path:
/home/hugh/.local/bin/keyszer -w -v -c ~/.config/kinto/toshy.py
You can sudo pip install things, but that is generally discouraged and unnecessary unless the package really needs to be available system-wide.
You may want to google some Arch wiki information about uinput and how to set it up and use it, to see if there is something special you need to do to get the right group and group permissions to make it work. All I know is that I've never had to do anything like that on Ubuntu, Mint or Fedora.
Ack! Thanks for the very clear explanation!
I think you're probably right about the permissions. I'll take this over to the Arch forum and see if they can help. I'll let you know what I find. If I can get it to work I'll try to put together a little write up.
Okay! I was able to get xkeysnail working (but not keyszer) on arch! Will do a fresh install just to confirm the solution was in fact the one I thought it was. Will report back when I've confirmed. May not have time this weekend though. TBD!
Yay! Mac shortcuts, a teams app and MS office in the browser! I can now use this computer as the main driver for work!
actually looks like I figured out a solution for myself. I got into this mess because I first accidentally ran the installer in wayland and it failed. I then logged out and logged back in with x11 and installed and then ran into all the problems in this issue. I just tried signing back into wayland and running the uninstaller and it failed of course. Then I thought I should try deleting the installer files before running install again in x11. That made it work! I noticed when I ran the installer totally fresh in x11 I had to put my password in halfway through. Previously I had just I deleted the installer files and then I was running uninstall/install to try to fix it and every time it wasn't asking for my pass and it wasn't working after install.
So for anyone else with this issue: try deleting the installer with something like -> sudo rm -rf /home/username/Downloads/kinto-master before you run the install script again.
I did thanks to Seth from the Arch forums. Seth is amazing. The main thing was to be sure to log in to gnome via xorg. Then after the install add the following two files:
-
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-permissions.rules
KERNEL=="mouse*|mice|event*", MODE="0660", GROUP="input"
KERNEL=="ts[0-9]*|uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input"
KERNEL==js[0-9]*, MODE=0660, GROUP=input
# tty
KERNEL==tty[0-9]*, MODE=0666
# vchiq
SUBSYSTEM==vchiq, GROUP=video, MODE=0660
and 2) /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules
SUBSYSTEM==input, GROUP=input, MODE=0660
KERNEL==tty[0-9]*, GROUP=tty, MODE=0660
then also run:
# usermod -aG input <yournamewithoutcarets>
Then reboot. When the xkeysnail dialog comes up, initially it says inactive. If you click the menu and try restart, everything should work.
This fixed it for me https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail/issues/164#issuecomment-1256891488
I upgrade version from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0, the problem was solved.
You can also try to upgrade the version: sudo pip3 install --upgrade xkeysnail
I upgrade version from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0, the problem was solved.
@nmnellis
Just a reminder for everyone having this issue, "upgrading" xkeysnail from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0 removes the patch that allows repeated shortcuts like Cmd+Tab, Tab, Tab to work correctly. Without that patch, you'll only be able to task switch or window switch between the last two apps/windows.
