Bug 525318 – media-sound/pithos-1.0.0 USE=keybinder with =dev-libs/keybinder-0.3.0-r300 - fails to bind multimedia keys because of missing python bindings

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Feldman 2014-10-13 18:30:51 UTC]

keybinder:0 comes with python bindings, this is what the previous version of pithos used.   unfortunately, pithos-1.0.0 requires keybinder:3 for gtk3 support, however, keybinder:3 does not have python bindings, and results in the following when pithos is run:

** (pithos:32131): WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioPlay' failed!

** (pithos:32131): WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioStop' failed!

** (pithos:32131): WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioNext' failed!

** (pithos:32131): WARNING **: Binding 'XF86AudioPrev' failed!


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run pithos from the command line
2.
3.

Please post your `emerge --info media-sound/pithos' output in a comment.

Does it work if you manually merge keybinder:0 as well as keybinder:3?

Unfortunately not.  I'm not really sure about how to resolve this.  Keybinder only has python2 bindings (according to its documentation). Might require talking to upstream.  potentially related upstream bug: https://github.com/pithos/pithos/issues/92  

Is it just happening for me or are you able to reproduce the bug?

[Comment 5 Patrick McLean 2014-10-13 21:42:27 UTC]

This does not happen on my machine.

 Looking at the code, it appears that it uses 'gi' from pygobject. Could you try rebuilding pygobject with the 'libffi' USE flag?

[Comment 6 Patrick McLean 2014-10-13 21:46:08 UTC]

Er, nevermind, I just noticed that the libffi USE flag does not exist on pygobject:3

Can show me the output of emerge --info dev-python/pygobject

[Comment 7 Patrick McLean 2014-10-13 21:58:01 UTC]

Try enabling the "introspection" USE flag on keybinder:3

Unfortunately, it's already enabled.

[Comment 10 Adam Feldman 2014-10-13 22:15:51 UTC]

Do you have gnome-settings-daemon installed?  That was the keybinder alternative for the old 0.3.x series.

[Comment 11 Patrick McLean 2014-10-13 22:31:26 UTC]

I don't have gnome-settings-daemon installed on my machine at all. I have the introspection USE flag globally enabled.

What version of dev-python/pygobject do you have installed?
Does pygobject have the threads USE flag enabled?

What version of gobject-introspection do you have installed?

gobject-introspection-1.40.0-r1
pygobject-3.12.2 with threads, pygobject:2 without libffi
introspection is global

Please test pithos-1.0.1 that was just added to the tree

Unfortunately, no change.  Thanks for trying.  I'll try upstream and see if they have any suggestions.

[Comment 15 Pacho Ramos 2018-06-26 19:00:40 UTC]

please retry with 1.3.1
