True. Thank you!

I ran into the same issue:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zxingcpp'

Reinstalling the python-zxing-cpp package resolved the problem for me.

From AUR:

I just updated my system(vanilla arch) and normcap is showing this error :-

❯ normcap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/normcap", line 5, in <module>
    from normcap.app import run
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'normcap'

Edit : Sorry my bad, i was using it from chaotic-aur, reinstalling from aur fixed this

Hi all. I just tried to install this package with paru on arch and it failed with some 404 errors. Is it possible to fix this issue ? It's works well with yay.

Also, this thread (https://github.com/dynobo/normcap/issues/585) of January supposedly has a fix, that maybe could be added to this AUR, if proven to work?

lucasm commented on 2024-10-02 11:54 (UTC)

On latest gnome 47, using Wayland, is giving me an issue.

When opening, a pop-up appears saying: "Normcap is missing the permissions for screen capture" "Grant it via the dialog that will appear after you click 'Ok'. "Then start Normcap again"

When clicking 'Ok', nothing happens.

@ubmarco: I just commented out the checkdepends() array. The tests were failing before, anyway.

Strange. I delete all caches with yay -Sc but still get this:

$ yay -S normcap
 -> No AUR package found for python-pytest-instafail
 -> could not find all required packages: python-pytest-instafail

Edit: This could be a yay issue. I downloaded the latest PKGBUILD and normcap.desktop and ran makepkg -si manually and it worked.

Edit 2: This helped yay -S normcap --mflags "--nocheck". Got it from https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1375.

yochananmarqos commented on 2024-01-16 15:17 (UTC)

@ubmarco: The check() function is disabled so the checkdepends() array is ignored.
