Module missing

[Axilotl17]

axilotl@tiramisu ~ [1]> sudo pkill -f input-remapper && input-remapper-gtk -d Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/input-remapper-gtk", line 38, in <module> from inputremapper.gui.gettext import _, LOCALE_DIR ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'inputremapper'

Can't even run suggested command. reinstalled several times, to no effect. Same error when running input-remapper-control.

Using Arch, input-remapper-git on the AUR.

I have the same problem. Manjaro, gnome, wayland.

Same here (Archlinux/AUR too). Was working before it doesn't :-)

[leonardofmoura]

Same thing here: Arch Linux with Wayland. Usinginput-remapper-git

Same. Manjaro, Gnome, Wayland

I've tried yay, manually w/ pip and pacman via git clone installations.

Resolved. You just need to rebuild the whole package.

[Axilotl17]

Rebuilding doesn't work for me.

I reinstalled through gnome's Add/Remove Software, rather than pacman, and version 2.0.1r10.g7586ad99-1 runs fine for me in Gnome 46.4 👍🏿

I also had this issue on Arch. For me it was because I had a pyenv version other than the system one set on install. It looks like the install script respects the pyenv PATH, but when you run the script as a command with a shebang it's not using the pyenv path. So it can't find any of the input-remapper files. To solve it I uninstalled, ran pyenv global system to reset the pyenv version, then reinstalled, and it works.

This seems like a bug with either the installer or the imports, they don't agree on whether to use the pyenv PATH.

To debug problems with imports:

1. Do find /usr -name inputremapper to find possibly multiple installations of the inputremapper package, depending on python paths and stuff. You most likely only want to have one installation. Try to remove all others. Also check ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/input-remapper.egg-link, /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/easy-install.pth and ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/easy-install.pth for leftovers.
2. Beware, that input-remapper starts/needs some privileged processes, and therefore needs system-wide installed packages in /usr/lib/... or /usr/local/lib/....
3. You can do something like import sys; print(sys.path) to figure out your python paths, that might help you. inputremapper has to be in one of those folders.
4. If you are able to import inputremapper in some cases, you can also try import inputremapper; print(inputremapper.__file__) to figure out from where you are currently importing inputremapper

Apart from that, input-remapper hasn't been using the recommended shebang. This will be fixed in https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/pull/992, and might help some of you.
