Arch Linux User Repository

it seems to miss python-evdev as dependency. after adding that, this works.

@4s3ti I'll push the package overhaul to reflect your addition of /udev/60-streamdeck.rules once you update the tag for 4.1.0 to include that folder or when you push the next version out. Right now the source .tar.gz file is missing the new udev folder so for the moment I'm leaving it as-is. Thanks!

I have also just realized that, and my guess is its either legacy or hasn't been updated in a while, therefore I have just updated all documentation to use the same rules both AUR packages are using with the added new rule. hope this helps to make things less confusing.

Also the udev rules are now being provided as part of the codebase as well: https://github.com/streamdeck-linux-gui/streamdeck-linux-gui/blob/main/udev/60-streamdeck.rules

Hi @4s3ti, I noticed that the official documentation for installing on Arch is referencing an entirely different udev rule compared to what I've been including in 60-streamdeck.rules since before the repository change.

I'm installing:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0060", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0063", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="006c", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="006d", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0080", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", TAG+="uaccess"
KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", TAG+="uaccess"

...which leads me to my question: Have the needs of the udev rules progressed forward and I missed the memo? Did something quietly change at some point that was otherwise discussed but I didn't see? Should I keep up with 60-streamdeck.rules and simply add the latest rule you've identified or should I shift the focus to the 70-streamdeck.rules format and dump 60-streamdeck.rules?

I can get this all buttoned up today with your guidance. Thanks!

heads up ... future releases of streamdeck-linux-gui might require the following udev rule:

KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="input", MODE="0660"

which is not being added by the pkgbuild. here's the issue: https://github.com/streamdeck-linux-gui/streamdeck-linux-gui/issues/163

I will also update the documentation and start providing this file within the repository.

Hi everyone, I just bumped up to 4.1.0.

Dependency Changes:

Removed: python-pynput

Added: xf86-input-evdev

Release: https://github.com/streamdeck-linux-gui/streamdeck-linux-gui/releases/tag/v4.1.0

Notably this version adds support for the Streamdeck+ however I don't think I have the updated udev rules for it so it might not be detected yet. I'll push another update for the rules once I get those.

Did a clean build (using yay ;-) but it did not change anything.

In the meantime i'm pretty sure that ttf-robot is/should actually not a dependency. but for some reason the font from the upstream package does not seem to be used (at least on my installation).

@smark try and do a clean build and see if that helps clear up your font problem, I wasn't made aware of ttf-roboto being required from upstream, it's probably just an angry python problem. I personally recommend yay for an AUR helper and when I install AUR packages I always choose to clean build everything when asked by yay.

Looks like the dependency to ttf-roboto is missing:

EDIT: ok, this is strange: the font seems to be already in the package
