[EDIT] The issue was caused by my keyboard configuration. Adding the following to ~/.config/espanso/config/default.yml fixed it.

keyboard_layout:
  layout: "us"
  variant: "intl"

I'm getting the following error. Any ideas?

  • Clean installation. No config.
  • Keyboard: English (US, intl., with dead keys)
> espanso start
unable to start service: timed out
Hint: sometimes this happens because another Espanso process is left running for some reason.
      Please try running 'espanso restart' or manually killing all Espanso processes, then try again.

(no Espanso process was running)

> espanso restart
espanso is not running!

@carsme aura doesn't like something: :: espanso-x11-2.2.7-1 and espanso-wayland-2.2.7-1 are in conflict . doing sudo pacman -U <package> in aura's cache directory does work... I aura think it might be trying to install both?

Unfortunately, I cannot install “espanso-wayland” on my current CachyOS.

I get the following message.

warning: espanso-info@0.1.0: src/x11/native.cpp:21:10: fatal error: X11/Xlibint.h: No such file or directory
warning: espanso-info@0.1.0:    21 | #include <X11/Xlibint.h>

error: failed to run custom build command for `espanso-info v0.1.0 (/home/ckagerer/.cache/paru/clone/espanso/src/espanso-2.2.3/espanso-info)`

Does anyone have an idea how I can get it installed? libx11 is in the dependencies and also installed.

If you see the following error when trying to build espanso from the AUR:

error: failed to parse lock file at: .../Cargo.lock
Caused by: lock file version 4 was found, but this version of Cargo does not understand this lock file, perhaps Cargo needs to be updated?

It means your version of Rust and Cargo is too old to understand the lock file format used by espanso. To fix this, update Rust and Cargo to the latest stable version using rustup:

sudo pacman -S rustup
rustup update stable

After updating, try building espanso again. This should resolve the issue.

Alternatively, if you are building from source, you can delete the existing Cargo.lock file in the espanso source directory and let Cargo regenerate it:

rm path/to/espanso/Cargo.lock

Then rebuild the project.

Newer version was released. v2.2.3 is latest version.

@carsme Thanks for your continued work. I just switched back to this package from espanso-wayland-git, which is currently broken.

However, I ran into a different problem with this package. As I had previously, I'm seeing persistent artifacts on screen. I assume it's to do with what would otherwise be the rainbow-colored square that displays briefly when espanso starts up. This is what it looks like for me.

I'm running into a problem on both my Intel (ThinkPad X1 Carbon) and AMD (Framework 13) machines. Both produce the below warnings during compilation, which would seem to be the cause of the behaviors I'm experiencing. espanso service register && espanso service start produces a generic gear logo icon in the dock (see screenshot), as well as a square (failed dialog rendering?) and pixel artifacts on screen (see screenshot)

astehlik commented on 2024-03-28 21:36 (UTC) (edited on 2024-03-30 11:18 (UTC) by astehlik)

Can you replace the dependencies wxwidgets-common and wxwidgets-gtk3 with wxwidgets only?

This would allow to either select wxwidgets-gtk3 or wxwidgets-qt5 depending on which desktop environment is used.

I tested it locally with makepkg and it seems to work.

Edit: I just realized that I manually had to create a symlink from /usr/bin/wx-config to /usr/bin/wx-config-qt to make the build work. Not sure how to solve this :(

Edit2: I created a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/espanso/espanso/pull/1918

MorganDGK commented on 2024-03-14 16:22 (UTC)

@psto the linked issue should now be resolved on dev.

carsme commented on 2024-03-09 16:39 (UTC)

@NathanU unfortunately I cannot reproduce this build failure, can you try building in a clean chroot?
