Hi! I have the same problem with the package needeing upgrade in an endless loop.

Hi, you shouldn't name pkgver like 2.0.0.rc, because that is always replaced by pkgver() function. Right now I installed the latest commit 9e04df7 and the version looks like 2.0.0.r0.g9e04df79-1, but when I run the update again, it tells me there is a new version 2.0.0.rc-2. It's an endless update loop. Please update it to this value pkgver=2.0.0.r0.g9e04df79. And in the future, if you want to bump it, just use the value generated by the pkgver() function.

Thanks, I fixed those issues

The package does not appear to build 2.0.0.rc-1, but

input-remapper-git-1.5.0.r78.g4b50b240-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

I don't think there should be service activation in post-install and post-upgrade functions.

You can add one step to the installation instructions, IMO.

There's no post_remove either. I had to manually remove /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/input-remapper.service

Thanks @ricardogalvao. input-remapper-beta-git probably doesn't suffer from that problem, since the version string is hardcoded there instead. input-remapper will soon get a 2.0 release that fixes this.

I was using input-remapper perfectly for several months but it stopped working some days ago (I don't know the exact day).

The followin error message appears when I try to run "input-remapper-gtk"

the key-mapper.service errors are fine, if this fails the error is ignored. It only exists to ensure there are no conflicts with the old project name.

About See "systemctl status input-remapper.service" and "journalctl -xeu input-remapper.service" for details, can you please do that and open an issue here? https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/issues

Successfully installed, but with these errors: Failed to stop key-mapper.service: Unit key-mapper.service not loaded. Failed to disable unit: Unit file key-mapper.service does not exist. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/input-remapper.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/input-remapper.service. Job for input-remapper.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status input-remapper.service" and "journalctl -xeu input-remapper.service" for details. error: command failed to execute correctly

EDIT: The issue below is now fixed and the cause has been identified to be conda taking over my python command. See https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/issues/523.

ORIGINAL COMMENT: input-remapper used to work a few days ago but now it fails to start for me and I'm currently getting the following errors:

When I try to enable the service, I get the following error:

When I try to uninstall and reinstall the package, I get this:
