cant run properly by manual intstall on kali linux

[jklouz]

i have manual installing on kali linux:

sudo apt-get install python3-pexpect python3-distutils gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 redshift

cd /tmp

git clone "https://github.com/xflux-gui/fluxgui.git"

cd fluxgui

./download-xflux.py

sudo ./setup.py install --record installed.txt

fluxgui

OUTPUT:
Failed to import plain appindicator ...

(fluxgui:29764): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 09:25:22.534: Settings schema 'apps.fluxgui' is not installed
zsh: trace trap fluxgui

then try run:
xargs sudo chmod -R a+rX < installed.txt

glib-compile-schemas .

GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=. fluxgui

OUTPUT:
the screen color changed, and the apps opened with the icon in top rigth panel
but when i closed the terminal the icon and app closed, the color still remain

when re run : fluxgui again its results same errors

how to solve this, to be installed properly

are you saying that everything worked correctly until you closed the terminal? if yes, then it sounds like closing the terminal closed fluxgui. if that's what happened, then try running fluxgui in the background, e.g.

GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=. fluxgui&

in bash, or with &! at the end in zsh. then you should be able to close the terminal without closing fluxgui.

my main concern is this
OUTPUT:
Failed to import plain appindicator ...

(fluxgui:29764): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 09:25:22.534: Settings schema 'apps.fluxgui' is not installed
zsh: trace trap fluxgui

its not working on my kali, its any else dependencies required?

That was a buggy error messages -- there was no actual problem with the import -- I just fixed it here: a21f55f

[jklouz]

after changed fluxapp.py, results:
Failed to import plain appindicator ...
Failed to import an appindicator implementation, dying ...

retry with: ./setup.py install --record installed.txt and ./setup.py install --user --record installed.txt, results:

Sounds like you're missing dependencies. Here's the code that generates those error messages:

https://github.com/xflux-gui/fluxgui/blob/91ef659911e94c47d9e17480b8b1855d778b536b/src/fluxgui/fluxapp.py#L13C1-L29C20

You could try running that code by itself in a Python repl and confirm you get the same error. I.e. run this code in a Python repl:

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk
try:
    gi.require_version('AyatanaAppIndicator3', '0.1')
    from gi.repository import AyatanaAppIndicator3 as appindicator
except:
    print('Failed to import Ayatana appindicator, falling back to plain appindicator ...')
    try:
        gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1')
        from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator
    except:
        print('Failed to import plain appindicator ...')
        print('Failed to import an appindicator implementation, dying ...')
