Please do not flag out of date unless the package is behind the upstream version. If you're having trouble launching menulibre due the following error, reinstalling the package should fix it. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/menulibre", line 40, in <module> import menulibre ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'menulibre'

This works for me!

Menulibre ZIP Download (/home/tamara/Downloads/): https://github.com/bluesabre/menulibre

unpack /home/tamara/Downloads/menulibre-master/

Install: sudo python3 setup.py install

yochananmarqos commented on 2022-02-08 00:54 (UTC)

@lesebas: After studying what you shared along with Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly, I see your PKGBUILD is indeed a viable alternative to using distutils-extra for this package. However, you seem to be the only one having an issue with the current PKGBUILD which will still work until Python 3.12 is out, probably.

In the future, I imagine the Arch Python package guidelines would end up looking something like this using Build and Pip:

build() {
  cd "$_name-$pkgver"
  python -m build
}

package() {
  cd "$_name-$pkgver"
  PIP_CONFIG_FILE=/dev/null pip install --isolated --root="$pkgdir" --ignore-installed --no-deps dist/*.whl
}

@yochananmarqos

The recommendation in python package guidelines about pip are pretty old (they are speaking about the bug related .pyo that has been solved since 2017). It's clearly recommended into official python documentation to use pip :

https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#use-pip-for-installing

https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/pip-vs-easy-install/

See the discussion on python packaging guidelines about pip (section 6 :Future of Python packaging in Arch Linux?) :

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Talk:Python_package_guidelines#Future_of_Python_packaging_in_Arch_Linux?

However is there any clue why menulibre library does not install with the current PKGBUILD (I've tried several uninstall/reinstall but that definitely doesn't work for me)?

yochananmarqos commented on 2022-02-02 23:20 (UTC)

@lesebas: Using Pip should be avoided and that is not the way to do it. See Python package guidelines/.

lesebas commented on 2022-02-02 21:07 (UTC) (edited on 2022-02-02 21:11 (UTC) by lesebas)

@yochananmarqos

This PKGBUILD works fine for me:

https://pastebin.com/W3VG4vQq

The current one permanently crash as it does not install menulibre library into python3.10 lib folder.

yochananmarqos commented on 2022-02-02 00:53 (UTC) (edited on 2022-02-02 00:53 (UTC) by yochananmarqos)

@lesebas: I just built it just fine without those warnings. DistUtils is what's deprecated and will no longer be supported in Python 3.12.

lesebas commented on 2022-02-01 21:28 (UTC)

I've got the error import menulibre ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'menulibre'

even if I try to reinstall it does not work. It seems that python setup.py install is deprecated and you should use pip. Here is the warning message when I use setup.py :

/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setuptools/command/install.py:34: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated. Use build and pip and other standards-based tools. warnings.warn(

When I use the following command it works :

sudo python -m pip install ./menulibre-2.2.3.tar.gz

However I'm not sure how to create a pkgbuild with this command.

Anyone hitting this error: To build menulibre you need https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra, make sure you have python-distutils-extra installed and are NOT in a virtualenv.

Hello, I am having an issue launching menulibre 2.2.1-3 on Manjaro XFCE (everything up-to-date).

I have tried reinstalling. Clicking the icon does not so anything and if I run from the terminal I get the following output;

$ menulibre

Any thoughts on what else I could try? Thank you.

jonian commented on 2021-04-25 13:21 (UTC)

Hi @dieghor, I'm able to build the package without problems. Try to uninstall the package, clear your AUR helper cache and try to reinstall.

dieghor commented on 2021-04-25 11:47 (UTC)

Hi, this may be a really noob question, but i've been searching for days about this issue and tried a couple thing but nothing worked. I'm getting this output when trying to update the package:

To build menulibre you need https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra :: Unable to build menulibre - makepkg exited with code: 4

I've the package installed from community, which is this one: community/python-distutils-extra 2.39-8 [installed]

I've changed the PKGBUILD to python3, but nothing happened.

jonian commented on 2021-04-12 22:07 (UTC)

@dvcky I have released a fix. Please try again with the installation.

earlybird commented on 2021-01-28 07:36 (UTC)

Can you up the number on AUR so that people will rebuild the package? then it will work fine again

zangoku commented on 2020-12-04 05:05 (UTC)

@jonian Thank you for the reply, I uninstalled menulibre, updated python and then reinstalled it.

jonian commented on 2020-12-02 19:14 (UTC)

@zangoku this package does not require a specific python version. I have both python 3.9.0-1 and menulibre installed without issues.

zangoku commented on 2020-12-02 15:29 (UTC)

":: installing python (3.9.0-1) breaks dependency 'python<3.9' required by menulibre"

No new release yet, but as of June 2020, this project has moved to Github: https://launchpad.net/menulibre/+announcement/23266

A well made and essential application, it should really be part of core GNOME! It seems to be far less buggy than the now ancient Alacarte Editor.

Changing the PKGBUILD didn't work for me.

Pant commented on 2019-08-12 00:09 (UTC)

In PKGBUILD file it needs to be changed "python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1" to "python3 setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1"

I fixed my issue with this build by correcting my locale which wasn't generated properly apparently export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 then building with the supplied updated PKGBUILD yielded a successful build.

I've tried with your updated PKGBUILD and it still fails the same for me.

MichaelTunnell commented on 2015-04-16 20:16 (UTC)

I updated the PKGBUILD to work with MenuLibre 2.0.6 so you can use my modified PKGBUILD if you want the latest version and maybe it will be added to this AUR item. http://michaeltunnell.com/files/aur/menulibre/PKGBUILD If you use yaourt then when it asks to edit PKGBUILD, choose yes and replace the text of 2.0.5 PKGBUILD with the contents of the PKGBUILD I provided above.

Spike29 commented on 2015-03-01 09:28 (UTC)

Hello, version 2.0.6 is available :)

francoism commented on 2015-01-28 21:14 (UTC)

Thanks for providing this package. Tested (builds & installs): works great on Gnome 3.14. :) Seems to be a good alternative for alacarte.

thermoplastics commented on 2014-10-31 14:47 (UTC)

Makepkg was unable to build menulibre.

jemadux commented on 2014-10-28 12:33 (UTC)

cant build

MichaelTunnell commented on 2014-07-19 20:26 (UTC)

This flag for out of date seems inaccurate because this AUR package appears to be for the stable version of this app so since the latest updates are only in the development branch then this app is current.

Senpos commented on 2014-05-05 14:42 (UTC)

It works not really good with WhiskerMenu on XFCE. I mean, it's not good to restart MenuLibre every time i hide an application from the menu. If i try to press "Save" button - program segfalt's and i need to use method described by @Ferik. :(

Ferik commented on 2014-03-28 07:19 (UTC)

@rilez if menulibre crashes try to rename o remove "menus" folder in home directory: $ cd ~/.config/ $ mv menus menus.old and reopen menulibre.

rilez commented on 2014-03-19 00:03 (UTC)

I've updated the PKGBUILD with correct dependencies, but the program seems to crash after saving a launcher: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=acEvL9fP

Black_Codec commented on 2014-01-23 11:05 (UTC)

New release 2.0 :)

wangchong commented on 2013-07-30 05:40 (UTC)

Well,I deleted bluetooth-sendto.desktop and it works well.

wangchong commented on 2013-07-30 05:05 (UTC)

Again I found no such shortcut. However, there indeed exists an item in alacarte under which the command is "/usr/bin/menulibre". After typing this commmand into terminal, I got this message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/menulibre", line 49, in <module> menulibre.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre/__init__.py", line 44, in main window = MenulibreWindow.MenulibreWindow() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre_lib/Window.py", line 48, in __new__ new_object.finish_initializing(builder) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre/MenulibreWindow.py", line 118, in finish_initializing self.get_interface() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre/MenulibreWindow.py", line 173, in get_interface self.initialize_appselection_iconview() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre/MenulibreWindow.py", line 1429, in initialize_appselection_iconview apps.append([pixbuf, escape(app["Name"]), desktop_file, app["Categories"], app["Comment"]]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre_lib/MenulibreXdg.py", line 54, in __getitem__ return self.get_property('Desktop Entry', prop_name, default_locale) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre_lib/MenulibreXdg.py", line 103, in get_property prop = self.get_named_property(category, prop_name, locale_str) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/menulibre_lib/MenulibreXdg.py", line 121, in get_named_property entry = xdg.DesktopEntry.DesktopEntry(self.filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xdg/DesktopEntry.py", line 33, in __init__ self.parse(filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xdg/DesktopEntry.py", line 42, in parse IniFile.parse(self, file, ["Desktop Entry", "KDE Desktop Entry"]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xdg/IniFile.py", line 102, in parse raise ParsingError("[%s]-Header missing" % headers[0], filename) xdg.Exceptions.ParsingError: ParsingError in file '/home/wangchong/.local/share/applications/bluetooth-sendto.desktop', [Desktop Entry]-Header missing

Ner0 commented on 2013-07-28 13:51 (UTC)

It should appear as "Menu Editor" somewhere in System or Settings menu.

wangchong commented on 2013-07-28 12:45 (UTC)

After installation, I found no shortcut for this program. I don't know how to start the program. Is there a command? ps. I am using gnome.

Ner0 commented on 2013-04-18 16:23 (UTC)

Fixed.

nikola_cz commented on 2013-04-18 12:38 (UTC)

Holy crap that was fast

It should be working now.

Well I fixed that by changing line 16 with the actual path for my system which was /tmp/yaourt-tmp-username/aur-menulibre/src/trunk/ Doesn't open though

mamamia88 commented on 2013-03-27 13:51 (UTC)

Trying to update yields /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-menulibre/./PKGBUILD: line 16: cd: menulibre: No such file or directory

edoardo commented on 2013-03-26 12:25 (UTC)

Thanks Ner0, I just saw that there's a really fresh fix so when you want you can re-upload the package with the patch. Have a nice day!

Ner0 commented on 2013-03-24 21:06 (UTC)

Yup, i get that too. It works fine when i run it as root. There's a bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/menulibre/+bug/1159375

pezcurrel commented on 2012-11-01 11:58 (UTC)

Ok, I see you did it, you should also update the release number from 1 to 2, I think, unless this is the first aur release for menulibre version 12.10.1 (I can't remember) :)

Ner0 commented on 2012-11-01 05:55 (UTC)

I'll just remove the signature.

Thanks for the package. However, gsettings-desktop-schemas is missing in the dependencies. Without it menulibre won't start.

GuestOne commented on 2012-08-07 06:10 (UTC)

Latest version is 12.8.7

Ner0 commented on 2012-07-30 16:45 (UTC)

I get this error too. The package worked when i first posted it, i guess the problem is with python2-gobject and python2-gobject2 updates. Ive submitted a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/menulibre/+bug/1030959

ShyPixie commented on 2012-07-30 06:32 (UTC)

did not work here http://sprunge.us/OWIT?python and i also needed the python2-gconf

commented on 2012-07-25 15:49 (UTC)

python2-gconf is missing in depends.
