Install issues on Ubuntu 21.04
Hi there, I have encountered an issue with Lua dependencies whilst following the installation and testing steps in the README on an Ubuntu 21.04 system.
Below are the commands executed
cd /usr/local/src
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/snyball/Hawck.git
cd Hawck
pkexec xargs apt -y install < bin/dependencies/debian-deps.txt
./install.sh
At this point installation appears to be successful: I can run hawck-add with no arguments which displays the usage message. Now I attempt to follow the testing instructions as below
sudo setfacl -m 'g:uinput:rw' /dev/uinput
sudo systemctl start hawck-inputd
hawck-macrod
vim ~/.config/hawck/scripts/example.hwk
hawck-add ~/.config/hawck/scripts/example.hwk
When executing the hawck-add command above I get the following error
$ hawck-add ~/.config/hawck/scripts/example.hwk
lua5.3: module 'init' not found:

Lua is new to me. I attempted to find a solution to this error by searching google but didn't see anything helpful. I instaled luarocks and attempted to install the missing init module; however, no such module exists.
Perhaps I've made a mistake which is obvious to someone more versed in Lua. Any assistance with getting hawck running on Ubuntu 21.04 would be much appreciated. I'm hoping it can replace AutoHotkey in Wayland on Ubuntu 21.04.
So have I. removing "-l init" from hawck-add kind of fixes it, but then runs into another issue with broken symlinks and trying to find lua.lua in "~/.local/share/hawck/scripts/<SCRIPT.lua>/" treating it as if it were a directory. something must've broken pretty badly. This is on 20.04 btw.
Fyi I was facing too many issues with 21.04 which were interupting work so I rolled back to 20.04. I have gone through the installation steps on 20.04 and still hit the same problem. Here's the output from tree.
$ tree ~/.local/share/hawck/
/home/csk/.local/share/hawck/
├── cfg.lua
├── logs
│ └── macrod.log
├── scripts

└── scripts-enabled
3 directories, 7 files
So it looks like these links are not correct. The links point to /usr/share/hawck but that directory does not exist on my system.
This sounds like an issue with the meson install.
It might be in/usr/local, or you could do find / -name hawck -type d to see where the meson install put the files, then you can fix the symlinks.
I am also experiencing this issue on 21.04, heres my tree .local/share/hawck

Hi, I am also experiencing this issue. my tree looks just like @tannerlegvold above.
I should mention that I am on Zorin OS which is based on Ubuntu.
@tony1661 @tannerlegvold Try running this snippet from a clean hawck repo clone (remember to use --recurse-submodules):
mkdir build
cd build
meson ..
meson configure -Dprefix=/usr
meson configure -Dcpp_args=-O2
ninja -j$(nproc)
mkdir dest
DESTDIR="$(realpath ./dest)" ninja install
Then package up the dest directory in a .tar file and post it here.
Alternatively, if the destdir works correctly you can try simply setting DESTDIR=/usr. I think the issue here is the lack of configure -Dprefix=/usr in the install.sh script.
Hi @snyball . Thanks for your response.
Tar file: dest.tar.gz
Here is what I did:**

@tony1661 ok, that looks like it's working as intended.
Now, create a new fresh repo clone of Hawck, and modify the install.sh script to include the following right after the meson .. line: [1]
meson configure -Dprefix=/usr
meson configure -Dcpp_args=-O2
If you can confirm that that fixes the issue for you on Ubuntu 21.04 then I can push those modifications to the master branch.
Also, post your edited version of install.sh when reporting whether or not it worked.
EDIT[1]: specifically, right after line 24
@snyball it seems I am able to load the script however the hot keys still do not work.
Below is what I did:

@tony1661 Did you reboot after running hawck-user-setup, and do you have bothhawck-inputd and hawck-macrod running?
@snyball I did not reboot or run that command. I didn't actually know about that command or that it needs to be run. I'll try that out soon as I can reboot :D
@snyball Ok so I rebooted my machine and did the following:
$ hawck-user-setup hawck-user-setup: command not found
$ hawck-inputd Starting Hawck InputD v0.7.1 on:
- </dev/input/event3> forking ...
$ hawck-macrod hawck-macrod v0.7.1 forking ...
$ hawck-add ~/.local/share/hawck/scripts/example.hwk
Result It appears to still not work
hopefully I am doing this correctly.
Try following the exact recipe from https://github.com/snyball/Hawck#testing-it-out with the script stored in .config/…, not .local/….
Also ensure that your user is a member of the hawck-input-share group by issuing a groups command.
Post all the hawck journalctl logs if neither of those work.
ps: hawck-user-setup.sh is executed by install.sh and is located in this-repo/bin/….
@snyball
Still seems to be an issue after entering the commands below. It's weird because I don't even see any errors in the logs. Am I correctly restarting the two services by entering sudo systemctl restart hawck-inputd.service and hawck-macrod ?
Also, I looked at the script hawck-user-setup.sh and it places all files in my .local dir. Is that correct?
Thanks for your help!!

@tony1661 Does pressing Control+a produce a b?
That clipboard snippet will not work unless you also define getClipboard.
Try removing that and just test using the Control+a combination.
Also post the journalctl logs for hawck-macrod.
Ps: when posting long outputs, prefer to put the text inside a <details>...</details> clause, like this:
@snyball Control+a doesn't seem to work even after removing the clipboard part.
cool, I didnt know about details 😄

@tony1661 Make sure you only have one instance of macrod running at a time, you can use htop and press \ to search.
Also, macrod isn't shipped as a systemd service, but it still logs using syslog which is handed off to systemd-journald. So just grep the output of journalctl (without args) to get those logs.
@snyball I verified that when I run the hawck-macro command that there is a new process that starts and the old one is stopped. Only one macrod service runs.

@tony1661 Yeah, it's not getting a connection to inputd, I don't exactly know why though.
I'll try spinning up an Ubuntu 21.04 VM tomorrow to check out what could be going awry. There might be less work to do for the upcoming Ubuntu LTS release if I get it working in the interim.
@snyball I'm not sure if it helps but I did find this in the logs:
