I was trying to install espanso-wayland. I edited beforehand PKGBUILD: - espanso/src/res/linux/icon.png + espanso/src/res/linux/espanso.png

I got this error: :: espanso-x11-2.4.1-1 and espanso-wayland-2.4.1-1 are in conflict (I did not have espanso-x11 installed, just an older version of espanso-wayland 2.2.x)

Then I removed al references to espanso-X11 from the PKGBUILD, then espanso-wayland installed fine.

@omnigenous, the upstream source seems to have renamed the Linux icon from icon.png to espanso.png.

Adjust the PKGBUILD (Lines 107 and 133):

- espanso/src/res/linux/icon.png
+ espanso/src/res/linux/espanso.png

it seems some deps are missing from the package build

espanso: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk3u_html-3.2.so.0: no version information available (required by espanso) espanso: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk3u_core-3.2.so.0: no version information available (required by espanso) espanso: /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-3.2.so.0: no version information available (required by espanso) 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.

apparently an older wxwidgets is needed than what arch has

ecognito commented on 2025-12-12 22:00 (UTC)

someone else getting this error at the end?

Yes. There's a bug report for this on Espanso you can follow, too: https://github.com/espanso/espanso/issues/2594

Mentioned there that downgrading to wxwidgets-gtk3 3.2.8.1 works. I'll mention that swapping to espanso-x11-bin also works.

[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!
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.

@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?
