When you update Python, you need to rebuild all python AUR packages, including Ulauncher.

See https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/discussions/1280 for more info

I fix the python3-distutils-extra error by adding (as ulauncher said) /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH:

  1. Open a terminal

  2. Open the .bashrc with a text editor, eg. Kate ~/.bashrc

  3. Add at the end export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages"

  4. Install ulauncher

Note: you must be under python environment. I was in anaconda environment and even if the python3-distutils-extra did not appear I was not able to compleate the installation, so I ran conda deactivate and after the installation conda activate

5.8.1 (https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/releases/tag/5.8.1) added a systemd service. However, it does not appear to be included in the tar this uses to build.

I could see it being retrieved using something like this "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/${pkgver}/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service"

One suggestion: can we add wmctrl as an optional dependency? Without it, the window does not focus in Wayland. See https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/wiki/Hotkey-In-Wayland

the build error is due to pyenv (atleast in my system), run pyenv local system in a terminal and proceed to install

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce this issue and I don't see how it could happen. PKBUILD clearly states that makedepends=('python-distutils-extra')

@ulauncher I'm still getting the same error:

"To build ulauncher you need "python3-distutils-extra" ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting..."

Got this error.

Starting build()... File "setup.py", line 12 print('To build ulauncher you need "python3-distutils-extra"', file=sys.stderr)

The error happen event on ulauncher-git package.

All system packages are updated.

The issue with missing python modules has been fixed. Turns out some python packages are now being installed into /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages, but ulauncher is ran by python3.7 which wasn't able to find those.

Fixed in v5.4.1 by adding site-packages from python3.8 to PYTHONPATH

@keno, thanks! Had the same issue, switched to dev now, and it seem to be working just fine.

Was getting the following error message whenever i tried to run ulauncher-toggle from the terminal:

  • "Failed to open connection to "session" message bus: Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch was disabled at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS instead."

I tried to set the display variable, but never got it working...

  • 5.3.12
  • X.Org X Server 1.20.6
  • pixman: 0.38.4
  • Not forcing to login to xorg (wayland) in etc/gdm/custom.conf (tried forcing, no success)

The package does not start at all for me now, I switched to the DEV version of it. https://pastebin.com/zSjKkcVf
