As synthead mentioned regarding logs error, this can be alleviated by adding -l /tmp/klippy.log to ExecStart.
Another thing is unconventional config name klipper.cfg. One can be confused by that so I'd prefer it to be renamed to printer.cfg as in official documentation.
As it turns out, flash-sdcard.sh is the only script with this issue! Here's a patch for your stuff that'll fix this script:
https://gist.github.com/synthead/8b10a0a8ee4db43a5fa4852230c5b75d
Could we fix the scripts in /usr/lib/klipper/scripts/ to use the system-wide Python instead of Python in a venv? For example, in /usr/lib/klipper/scripts/flash-sdcard.sh, this is line 6:
KLIPPY_ENV="${HOME}/klippy-env/bin/python"
$KLIPPY_ENV is used to call the Python executable (which should be /usr/bin/python) here:
while getopts "hlcb:f:d:" arg; do
case $arg in
h)
print_help_message
exit 0
;;
l)
${KLIPPY_ENV} ${SPI_FLASH} -l
exit 0
;;
c) CHECK_ARG="-c";;
b) BAUD_ARG="-b ${OPTARG}";;
f) KLIPPER_BIN=$OPTARG;;
d) KLIPPER_DICT=$OPTARG;;
esac
done
...and here:
${KLIPPY_ENV} ${SPI_FLASH} ${CHECK_ARG} ${BAUD_ARG} ${KLIPPER_DICT} ${DEVICE} ${BOARD} ${KLIPPER_BIN}
If I call this script as-is, I get this error:
$ /usr/lib/klipper/scripts/flash-sdcard.sh -l
/usr/lib/klipper/scripts/flash-sdcard.sh: line 45: /home/george/klippy-env/bin/python: No such file or directory
However, if KLIPPY_ENV is set to /usr/bin/python, everything works a-ok :)
For the curious, I use the above script to flash a BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V3.0 over USB. This controller only allows updates via writing a file called firmware.bin to an SD card, then using the SD card to do updates. The Klipper firmware has a feature that will write this file over USB and perform a reset on the controller, essentially providing abstracted USB updates. More information can be found here: https://www.klipper3d.org/SDCard_Updates.html
We may want to configure a log directory for this package. When it starts, it shows this in the output:
WARNING:root:No log file specified! Severe timing issues may result!
I have updated this package to use python 3. If you are currently using klipper-py3-git, please switch to using this package instead. It's now fully up to date. All future updates will go here and I will be removing klipper-py3-git at some point.
Moonraker expects the config examples and docs to be kept in their default locations, but this PKGBUILD moves them to /usr/share/klipper/examples and /usr/share/doc/klipper. As a result, moonraker will give warnings/errors. There is no configuration in moonraker for this - it just expects them to be in the standard location.
I worked around it as follows:
ln -s /usr/share/klipper/examples /usr/lib/klipper/config
ln -s /usr/share/doc/klipper /usr/lib/klipper/docs
I would recommend adding those symlinks to the PKGBUILD.
This application now needs Python 3:
