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

@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.

Updated, thanks.

@qubodup I cannot reproduce your issue with this package. Have you removed caffeine-bzr before installing caffeine-systray?

qubodup commented on 2014-01-11 02:04 (UTC)

caffeine-systray does not work, unfortunately. The error was mentioned on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/caffeine-bzr/ but ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for AppIndicator3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/caffeine", line 40, in <module> import caffeine File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/caffeine/__init__.py", line 126, in <module> from caffeine.main import main File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/caffeine/main.py", line 59, in <module> generic = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file(caffeine.GENERIC_PROCESS_ICON_PATH) NameError: name 'GdkPixbuf' is not defined

Looks like there will be no systray version since the bug report has been marked "Won't fix" and the developer is not even subscribed to it...
