Public bug reported: upon getting Guake running after working around bug 1853698, I noticed that Guake did not respond to the keypress to hide/show and was printing this error to console at a rate of one line a second while the console is shown:
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context' Upon further googling, I found the hint to a workaround in https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn/issues/221 where the package that is actually needed by guake is actually python3 -gi-cairo and not the python2 version mentioned in that article. Installing this package made guake respond to the keypress for hide/show and stop printing the error. Again, I think this is a package metadata problem, like gir1.2-wnck-3.0, python3-gi-cairo should be entered as a dependency of the guake package. ** Affects: guake (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - guake package does not tag python3-gi-cairo as a requirement + guake package does not tag python3-gi-cairo as a dependency -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853700 Title: guake package does not tag python3-gi-cairo as a dependency To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guake/+bug/1853700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
