After an upgrade to Python 3.11, you need to rebuild this package (and all Python packages in the AUR).

I have recently switched to GNOME and using the great Caffeine shell extension. Since I am no longer using and testing this package, I am disowning it.

@ryebread761 Let's try and figure this out. Is the package gdk-pixbuf2 installed on your system? If not, can you check if installing it and then caffeine-systray fixes the issue? Or at least changes the error?

Getting the same error as @qubodup on KDE 4.12.2.

@Bluthund Thanks for the tips. Patch is now applied.

@shimi It is in the package but it is not applied in the prepare()-step. If you set up a proper fork it would be great to retain the DPMS/X-blanking support via xset. Upstream unfortunately removed it when they switched over from their "per desktop"-implementation to the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver DBus-API in r514 which is fine if you use a moderately current screensaver but makes caffeine useless for those that don't need/want a separate screensaver application.

@Bluthund Thanks for the patch. It is now included in the package. @Bluthund @PhotonX Hopefully when I have a bit more time (read: late March) I will try to set up a proper fork on github/launchpad.

I'm wondering, whether it is possible to create a patch reverting the systray code removal and apply it to the newest revision rather than sticking to rev. 498?

@shimi: A lot of spurious errors are being spammed ("ERROR: Exception: too many values to unpack") because the wrong python binary is called from inside the Caffeine core module. You might want to add this patch https://gist.github.com/dirkd/f6a7b9a4943dd05ec944 or stub the method _check_for_Flash() as a whole by returning True right at the start as the detection mechanism used there seems to be broken anyways. It seems flash does not store metadata in /tmp/Flash* files anymore (using flashplugin 11.2.202.332-1 on firefox 26.0-2 and chromium 32.0.1700.102-1 at least) which flash_detect.py (called from _check_for_Flash()) is looking for. Caffeine also dropped the method in r521 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~caffeine-developers/caffeine/main/revision/521 probably for the same reason.
