Problems with Qtile 0.13

Slackware-Spain · 03-09-2022, 03:15 AM

Good morning, I have installed Qtile in Slackware 15.0 but the widget.Clock does not appear correctly. Does anyone know the cause?

if you have used the script from SlackBuilds.org for 14.2 it happened because you have used a script meant for a different version of Slackware: you should use a different repository, SlackBuilds.org's git master branch that you can clone locally with

Code:

git clone git://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds.git

will work fine for Slackware 15.0.
be sure to read qtile's README of that repository and follow the instructions listed there.

Good morning, I have tried to install qtile 0.2.0 and it has not been possible.

if you don't post the build logs or any other useful information it will be quite impossible too trying to help you...

It builds fine here
It needs the following dependencies (python/):
python3-xcffib
------> python2-setuptools-scm
------> python2-scandir
----> py attrs pluggy more-itertools atomicwrites funcsigs pathlib2
--> pytest
-> pytest-runner

Good morning, it seems that python 3.9 is necessary as a requirement and I only have 3.7

python 3.9 is provided by slackware by default

Code:

blackstar :: ~ » ls -l /usr/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 déc.  28 02:01 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    14 déc.  28 02:01 /usr/bin/python-config -> python2-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 déc.  28 02:01 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    16 déc.  28 02:01 /usr/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14392 févr. 13  2021 /usr/bin/python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  1681 févr. 13  2021 /usr/bin/python2.7-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 janv. 16 12:09 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    16 janv. 16 12:09 /usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.9-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14392 janv. 16 03:42 /usr/bin/python3.9
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  3067 janv. 16 03:42 /usr/bin/python3.9-config

Code:

$ slackpkg search python3

[inst] slackware64 : python3-3.9.10-x86_64-1

From your error log you can see that you are indeed using python 3.9, so no worries there.
I also see that you are doing the build manually using the setup.py command, why don't you try using the latest slackbuild?

https://github.com/SlackBuildsOrg/sl.../desktop/qtile

download and put all the files in the link above into a directory of your choice (for example /root/Downloads/qtile-slackbuild/).
Then grab the source for qtile 0.2 from here
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packa...-0.20.0.tar.gz
and put it in the same directory.

Finally, execute the slackbuild script

Code:

chmod +x qtile.SlackBuild && ./qtile.SlackBuild

Hi everyone, I've also tried the qtile.Slackbuild script and I can't install either.I have also tried it with pip and you can see that it is using python 2.7
