Package: screenkey
Version: 1:1.4-2
Severity: normal
dear Maintainer,
I recently installed screenkey and when using it, the following errors appeared
on stdout:
$ screenkey
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Screenkey/screenkey.py", line 341,
in on_configure
self.input_shape_combine_region(cairo.Region(cairo.RectangleInt(0, 0,
0, 0)))
KeyError: 'could not find foreign type Region'
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
typed keys were still showing up on screen, but the black background was
missing.
with a quick google search I learned that I needed to install python3-gi-cairo
to make the errors go away (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42279510)
and indeed the issue was fixed after I manually installed python3-gi-cairo.
I think python3-gi-cairo should be a required dependency of screenkey to make
it work properly (it's already listed on screenkey homepage's "readme"
https://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/software/screenkey#from-source).
thank you
marco
