Ayatana Project on Archlinux - official thread

This needs to be simpler to be installed. And i think it should be put in the official repos!

For indicator-session-bzr the reboot problem is that ubuntu patched gnome-session with an additinal dbus interface.

I forgot, on one of the packages i had to use vala with ubuntu patches to successfully compile.

arriagga · 2010-09-30 17:33:27

most of the packages ask for :
- libindicator (building from AUR)

but this one does not compile, so i used libindicator-bzr.

is there any way to fix this?

Gianfrix · 2010-10-02 15:12:37

@arriagga: You should add "provides=('libindicator')" (without quotes) to libindicator-bzr PKGBUILD

Anyways, I managed to compile libdbusmenu-bzr, libindicate-bzr and libindicator-bzr (passing --enable-introspection=no to ./configure though). Also I compiled indicator-messages-bzr, indicator-session-bzr and indicator-applet-bzr.

BUT I got those problems:
1) Indicator Messages applet's menu (the envelope ) is just empty and it's shown grey: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3202815/Immagini/Indicator.png
I suppose it's due to /usr/libexec/indicator-messages-service not being started. I started it via command line and I got this error:

[gianfrix@eleuteros Compilati]$ /usr/libexec/indicator-messages-service

(process:28895): libindicator-WARNING **: Name request failed.  Status returned: 3

** (process:28895): WARNING **: Shutting down service!

2) I can't compile ido... I get this error:

For this reason I can't compile any other indicators...
Any help?

EDIT: Also, what the hell is GIR and GObject Introspection and what are its relations with indicators? :S

jarryson · 2010-10-06 07:36:31

Anyone tried indicator-appmenu?

after apply ubuntu gtk2 patch, gtk2 won't compile through.

Gianfrix · 2010-10-07 21:47:21

Ok, I've managed to port ido to Arch Linux using a dirt trick: using Ubuntu precompiled package -.-'

Most of the indicators are working (e.g.: Dropbox, Messaging menu)
I've also compiled indicator-me, compiling libgwibber before.
Anyways it just does not work, and it gives me an error, just like the other indicators that are not working:

libindicator-WARNING **: No watchers, service timing out. is the error shown also on other non-working indicators, even if I've already added the required applets to the panel.
Also I can't solve the mistery of Indicator Appmenu applet, that keeps showing "No indicators".

When everything's working I will make a guide for you all to install those indicators in a painless way.

can you share your method to install ido with a ubuntu package

smartboyathome · 2010-10-13 13:48:39

By using the latest ido (0.2.0), here is what i get at compile time:

Making all in build
Making all in autotools
Making all in src
  CC    idotypebuiltins.o
  LINK  libido-0.1.la
Making all in example
  LINK  gesture
../src/.libs/libido-0.1.so: undefined reference to `ubuntu_gtk_widget_set_has_grab'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [gesture] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm guessing this has something to do with a patch that Ubuntu applies to GTK, probably this one.

Yep, infact you need Ubuntu's GTK for ido to compile. No need for binary package anymore

zephyr · 2010-10-13 15:58:30

Well, I have uploaded appmenu-gtk and gtk2-appmenu (patched heavily using ubuntu patches!) in AUR.

I have plasma-menu-bar global menu in KDE and by installing appmenu-gtk,libdbusmenu and gtk2-appmenu I have working global menu for GTK+ apps too!

Hope these packages help all you Gnomies (:P) in creating an indicator-appmenu PKGBUILD. I don't really know the gnome/ubuntu/ayatana stack to help...

kthxbye!

sironitomas · 2010-10-16 05:01:28

Great! I would really like to see these packages working together in AUR, and who knows... Later this could reach the official repo!

I'm just trying it out now. IMO you could have named 'gtk2-appmenu' as 'gtk2-ubuntu' due to the amount of patches
Anyways I got 'indicator-me' working. I just had to add Indicator Session Applet to the panel.

EDIT: 'provides' should contain 'gtk2=2.22.0' instead of 'gtk2'

I just added the versioned provides.
Indeed the amount of patches is overwhelming yet most of these are needed for the package to compile successfully!

And I also use dbusmenu 0.3.16.

Gianfrix · 2010-10-18 11:22:49

Ok, folks, up to now I've solved quite all my problems with indicators. This time I've started recompiling almost everything starting from Ubuntu sources (instead of bzr packages) and patches (searching them on packages.ubuntu.com). I've also made some extra package to improve GNOME experience (e.g.: faster DE startup ). Here's a list of all the packages I've got on my system now:

Base Libraries for Indicators

libdbusmenu 0.3.16-1
libindicate 0.4.4-1
libindicator 0.3.14-1
ido 0.2.0-1
gtk2-ubuntu 2.22.0-1 (It's zephyr's package with a different name)

Other libraries

libgwibber 0.0.6-1 (Needed by indicator-me)
utouch-geis 1.0.12-1 (If I'm not wrong it's needed by indicator-me)
utouch-grail 1.0.11-1 (If I'm not wrong it's needed by indicator-me)
grails 1.3.5-1 (If I'm not wrong it's needed by indicator-me)

Indicator Applets

indicator-applet 0.4.6-1
indicator-application 0.2.9-1
indicator-datetime-bzr 13-1 (This one is Dinth's, works perfectly and needs gnome-system-tools to activate "Setup Date" menu entry)
indicator-language-pack-it 10.10+20100930-1 (This one is aimed to localize indicators. I've made it easy to change language modifiying a variable in the PKGBUILD )
indicator-me 0.2.10-1
cloudsn 0.7.8-1 (Not mine, but I use it for mail and RSS with indicator-messages. Works OOTB)
indicator-messages 0.3.11-1
indicator-session 0.2.10-1
pidgin-libnotify-ubuntu 0.14-3 (If you want Pidgin indicator-messages integration)

Other Packages

gnome-panel-bonobo-ubuntu 2.32.0.2-1 (Fixes slow startup)
gnome-panel-ubuntu 2.32.0.2-1 (Fixes slow startup)
gnome-session-ubuntu 2.32.0-1 (Fixes slow startup, fixes shutdown with indicator-session and lets compiz-fusion start easily without icon using gconf)
gnome-settings-daemon-notify-osd 2.32.0-1 (Already on AUR, includes notify-osd and indicator support)
dropbox-experimental 0.8.107-1 (Not mine, works OOTB)
metacity-ubuntu 2.30.3-1 (Fixes ambiance button backgrounds on Arch \m/)
nunit 2.5.3-1 (Slightly modified, fixes mono bindings)
empathy-ubuntu 2.32.0.1-1 (Adds indicator support)

And this is the result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3202815/Immagin … OnArch.png
I still can't compile indicator-sound anyways.
I will load those packages on AUR (except the ones already on it), but I want to know if you find a metapackage a good idea to install all those things with one shot.
Otherwise I think a package group can be useful: how should we name it?

Maybe you could name it arch-ayatana-project, or gnome-ayatana. IMHO

Personally i would prefer a meta pkg to a group, makes adding/removing easier.

can you share src.tar.gz or PKGBUILD for the packages that you has created???

Gianfrix · 2010-10-24 13:43:02

I said I'm gonna upload all the packages to AUR, including a metapackage/group/something useful to install one-shot.
Just give me a bit of time because I'm preparing an exam...

madek · 2010-10-24 14:06:58

ok, don't problem, lucky in your exam

pd: metapackage is a good idea, it's useful for install and uninstall
groups and AUR don't work well in some aur helpers

flamelab · 2010-10-25 15:52:08

Is there any PKGBUILD for Unity ?

bananaoomarang · 2010-10-25 16:39:34

Been staring at this thread not knowing what it was, then this comes along

http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2010/10/ … or-compiz/

then I wonder if I can get unity working on arch.

So, is there a working meta package yet?

See the first post, it does not compile, up to now.
IMO we should wait at least Compiz-ed Unity, because Mutter is much slow (on my GeForce 9600M GT!).

In the meanwhile, I'm preparing all the PKGBUILDS for the upload now! Anyways if they are maintained yet I can't upload them, so if you want I can adopt 'em. If I have to do so I'll publish a list.

EDIT: Dang, I forgot to test indicator-application (I tried recompling them again from scratch) :\

I can't upload though:

- libindicator (mantained yet)
- ido (it's mantained yet)
- utouch-geis (needs new version uploading)

@Gianfrix if you want i can orphan them
