 Posted: Sun May 09, 2021 6:30 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Caribou Won't Compile |
 |
|
Everytime i try to compile Caribou it fails at the error
| Quote: | /usr/bin/python3.9 -B ../tools/fix_gir.py _Caribou-1.0.gir > Caribou-1.0.gir
/usr/bin/g-ir-compiler --shared-library=libcaribou.so.0 -o Caribou-1.0.typelib Caribou-1.0.gir
Caribou-1.0.gir:In NullAdapter: error: Can't resolve type '_Caribou.DisplayAdapter' for field Caribou.NullAdapter.parent_instance
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1207: Caribou-1.0.typelib] Error 1 |
I've checked the forums and the internet and nothing at all. There's a bug report last month about it but no responses. I tried IRC and no one there even acknowledges my question so I thought I'd try here.
The package is app-accessibility/caribou-0.4.21-r3 running ~amd64. I've tried the stable version r2 but it has same error. Anyone know a fix or a way I can finish cinnamon without this package.
EDIT: Ok so installing Vala 0.50.7 and using
| Code: | | VALA_MAX_API_VERSION="0.50" emerge caribou |
works and installs.

| There is a bug report on it about a month ago but no one has responded with any ideas. That's why I figured I'd try here on the forums, and I don't have accessibility in my use flags. |

Try this
| Code: |
echo "app-accessibility/caribou-0.4.21-r3" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
|
and pray no others depend on its binaries.....
you are lucky
| Code: |
eqd caribou
* These packages depend on caribou:
|
null

I tried to install the stable version of that but it won't let me. Too many packages were installed with the newer version.

Did that and its gone. Hopefully Cinnamon runs without using it.
EDIT: Ok so got it all compiled but now cinnamon keeps running in fallback mode. It won't load. Thats the only package that didn't get installed, is it really that important. |

I think it has nothing to do with caribou.
Maybe a display driver issue......
From the wiki
| Code: |
OpenRC Services
dbus, openrc-settingsd, elogind
Xorg server and Cinnamon need the dbus, openrc-settingsd and elogind services, make sure that they will be started at system boot time:
root #rc-update add dbus default
root #rc-update add openrc-settingsd default
root #rc-update add elogind boot
Next, start the services (there is no need to restart the system):
root #rc-service dbus start
root #rc-service openrc-settingsd start
root #rc-service elogind start
|
Moreover how do you start it?
| Code: |
Starting Cinnamon
When not using a login/display manager, make a .xinitrc file in the user's home directory, starting Cinnamon (D-bus will be launched too automatically):
FILE ~/.xinitrcCinnamon launch directive
exec cinnamon-session
Then to start Xorg and Cinnamon, execute startx after logging in:
user $startx
With a display manager follow the display manager instructions.
|
What does
| Code: |
emerge -cav caribou
|
say?
Also plz look inside
directory and check if there is any file about caribou, maybe
caribou.desktop
?
and delete the freaking disgusting thing

I use systemd and I don't think its a video card issue because I can run xfce4 and plasma without issues.

I use sddm to launch my desktops, and xfce4 and plasma launch fine.

It says

--- Couldn't find 'caribou' to depclean.

I don't have any caribou files in /etc/xdg/autostart.
The only desktop that won't load for me is the one where 1 package won't compile. Not 100% sure if that's why but since other desktops work I can't see any other reason. |
