Espanso not working on Arch Linux Wayland after KDE Plasma 6 Update (Keyboard layout bug)

Question

Espanso not working on Arch Linux Wayland after KDE Plasma 6 Update (Keyboard layout bug)

Omar-Ebrahim-1 opened this issue 3 months ago · comments

Describe the bug
Espanso is not starting

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

-> espanso restart
espanso is not running!
espanso started correctly!

but it hasn't actually restarted. The issue I believe is because of the keyboard layout, I saw same issues, but when I added

keyboard_layout:
  layout: "us"

to my espanso config default.yml, I still have the same issue.

Logs
If possible, run espanso log in a terminal after the bug has occurred, then post the output here so that we can better diagnose the problem

And if I do

❯ setxkbmap -query
WARNING: Running setxkbmap against an Xwayland server
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us

and run espanso with

keyboard_layout:
  layout: us
  rules: evdev
  model: pc105
  variant: eng

I get

Confirming I am seeing this as well after the update. I will investigate and see if I can determine what broke and where.

Espanso v2.2.0

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
DE: Hyprland
WM: sway

EDIT: after restarting, Espanso seems to work fine on my setup.

The first log posted does not appear to be a keyboard layout error, the second fails to compile the XKB key map - probably because the keyboard layout/variant combination is not recognized.

@Omar-Ebrahim-1 Thanks to you, I could make espanso work on Archlinux, KDE Plasma6 wayland.
I'm a dvorak keyboard user, and it's been working fine on X11/KDE Plasma5.
However, recently I've change to Wayland/KDE Plasma6, and espanso stopped working. (I installed the wayland version of Espanso using AUR.)

For anyone who have difficulties like me, I leave a note here.

$ setxkbmap -query
WARNING: Running setxkbmap against an Xwayland server
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
variant:    dvorak

Then I add this info to default.yml.

keyboard_layout:
  rules:      "evdev"
  model:      "pc105"
  layout:     "us"
  variant:    "dvorak"

Espanso is back!

Omar Ebrahim · Answer 5 · Wed Mar 13 2024 05:50:34 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I have reinstalled Wayland Espanso using the AUR with default.yml config

keyboard_layout:
  rules:      "evdev"
  model:      "pc105"
  layout:     "us"

and Espanso now works.

Thank you all for the support and I wish you all the best.
