I just updated klipper and am unable to connect from octoprint.
[Errno 2] could not open port /run/klipper/sock: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/run/klipper/sock'' @ comm.py:_openSerial:2661 (hook default)
Your latest instructions tells to use /tmp/printer, but I don't have it on my system... and according to klipper.service listed in sources, the socket is still /run/klipper/sock (and it exists indeed on my RPi)...
[edit] I got it to work with /run/klipper/sock
README
Packages python2-pyserial and python2-greenlet were removed from [community] repository and due to bug in AURweb I couldn't create an AUR package for those, so you'll have to install those manually. Here are links to PKGBUILD files for those packages:
After you have this package installed, copy an example config from /opt/klipper/config to /etc/klipper/klipper.cfg and adjust the values to suit your printer.
If needed, build and flash firmware as outlined in the documentation: https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/blob/master/docs/Installation.md#building-and-flashing-the-micro-controller keeping in mind that klipper is placed in /opt/klipper directory
Then, start/enable the klipper service with systemctl.
Logs can be seen at /var/log/klipper/klippy.log
OctoPrint
Use the socket /run/klipper/sock. OctoKlipper is highly recommended.
WARNING
If you have ARM MCU on your printer you won't be able to compile firmware on ARM PC (which is the case for most computers running klipper). You will have to compile firmware on x86_64 PC
dack: the problem is with compiling ARM MCU firmware, it requires arm-none-eabi-gcc package, which is only for x86_64 architecture, and I still haven't found an alternative.
I have adopted the package, and I will try to update it as much as I can
Deathwarror: Are you talking about requirements to compile the PKGBUILD, or to compile AVR microcontroller firmware?
If you are talking about the PKGBUILD, gcc and make are part of base-devel. That should not be listed as a dependency in the PKGBUILD as per the wiki page for Makepkg ("Before continuing, install the base-devel group. Packages belonging to this group are not required to be listed as build-time dependencies (makedepends) in PKGBUILD files.").
If you are talking about compiling the AVR microcontroller code, avr-gcc is already listed as a runtime dependency. Make is not listed, and should perhaps be added as a runtime dependency. Most people will probably not encounter that issue, since they would have already installed base-devel (and therefore make) in order to compile the PKGBUILD.
Hi! Unfortunately I don't use Klipper anymore so I'm relinquishing maintainership of this package. If anyone wishes to adopt it, that would be fantastic.
I should have done this a long time ago, and I'm sorry for procrastinating flagging this unmaintained package as unmaintained.
I'm using a raspberry pi 4. Two more dependencies that are needed are gcc and make gcc is apparently needed by the klipper code to compile
Can you add a dependency for python2-jinja? Without it, klipper fails with the following in the log:

could you add aarch64 to the architectures supported so we can use this pkg on raspi3 with the a4a rpi3 image?
@breadman indeed that is a mistake on my part. The reason it was moved was because I wanted to privilege separate OctoPrint from Klipper. But /tmp/printer, being in a setuid directory, can't be followed by non owner users.
The socket is at /run/klipper/sock.
For some reason I do not have /tmp/printer. After flashing the MCU klipper is communicating with the printer but there's no symlink.
I think this began after yesterday's update as I tried this package two days ago and everything seemed to work fine. Now this happens both in virtualbox and on a physical machine. I do not see any warnings in klippy's log, nothing regarding /tmp/printer in journald.
I'm using Manjaro and not Arch, but I don't think this should be a problem. Any suggestions in which direction to look?

Please switch to using klipper-git. As of now, it is fully up to date with this package. All future updates will go into klipper-git, and I will be removing this package.

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.
