Can't get espanso running at all on Fedora / Wayland KDE Plasma

Question

Can't get espanso running at all on Fedora / Wayland KDE Plasma

tigger04 opened this issue 2 months ago · comments

Description

I feel like I've tried everything ... any help greatly appreciated!

Steps to reproduce

sudo dnf copr enable -y eclipseo/espanso
sudo dnf install -y espanso espanso-wayland

sudo setcap "cap_dac_override+p" $(which espanso-wayland)

espanso service unregister || :
espanso service register

... so far so good, then:

systemctl enable --user --now espanso-wayland
sudo systemctl enable --now espanso-wayland
espanso start --unmanaged

all yield errors, to the effect of e.g.

unable to start service: timed out
Hint: sometimes this happens because another Espanso process is left running for some reason.
      Please try running 'espanso restart' or manually killing all Espanso processes, then try again.

pkill/pgrep on espansoand espanso-wayland shows no process running

espanso restart yields:

espanso is not running!
unable to start service: timed out
Hint: sometimes this happens because another Espanso process is left running for some reason.
      Please try running 'espanso restart' or manually killing all Espanso processes, then try again.

espanso status yields:

espanso is not running

Expected behavior

Espanso running!

Your environment

Public source code:
Environment name and version (e.g., Rust 1.59.0):
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS):
Espanso version (e.g., 2.1.4-beta):

Self-service

I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

ok, facepalm moment.
espanso-wayland start --unmanaged
seems to have done it.
It would be good to get it working with systemd though - any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

Can you do espanso-wayland -vvvvv worker and share the log here? I assume this should work with the binary built for wayland as well.

Similar issue, but using the espanso-wayland package from Terra:

Tried adding myself to the input group as suggested, but to no avail. Notably, I cannot start using espanso start --unmanaged either.

@pointydev the worker seems to working correctly, do expansions works after running espanso worker? It seems strange that the worker would run successfully while the service fails to start.

Hey @morgan-dgk, I reverted back to using X11 after encountering other applications in my workflow breaking under Wayland, so I can't test the environment I previously mentioned currently.
