Howdy, There is a new console screen reader in the works. It is written in python. I have written a PKGBUILD for it. The PKGBUILD works, it installs things where they are supposed to go, but the problem is the reader won't launch once installed in this way. If you just run setup.py it works fine though. Can someone please take a look and let me know how to fix this? Thanks Storm

Try package() { cd "$srcdir/$_gitname" python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" install } and do not put install file into source-array. This gives less errors, but still is not working.

[haawda@frege fenrir]$ fenrir Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/fenrir", line 137, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/fenrir", line 132, in main app = fenrir() File "/usr/bin/fenrir", line 21, in __init__ raise RuntimeError('Cannot Initialize.

Seems maybe the config files or folders might not be readable by normal users? Check the rights on /etc/fenrir/{settings, keyboard, substitution} and add -m644 to their install commands, or better yet just leave those out fine you're using cp anyway. -- "We apologize for the inconvenience"

Fenrir needs to be ran as root, so it should be able to read its config files. It has to access (I hope I got this right) /dev/vcsa*. I do help with writing Fenrir, but I do a lot more testing and very minor code stuff. Do I still need to do the -m644, or leave it out?

Right sorry, I was just going off the top of my head since I'm not near my PC and can't install the package. If you're gonna keep the install commands then sure, -m644, keep things safe from normal users and also make things clear for the readers. If you're going to keep just the cp commands I'd at least add --no-preserve=owner to make sure the user who installed the package doesn't stay the owner of the files once installed. Either way should be fine, both of them too if you prefer that. Can't help you with your problem though, sorry. Sincerely, Joost Bremmer -- "We apologize for the inconvenience"

Howdy, Did you ever get the chance to do anything with the PKGBUILD? I'm still stuck with it, but it seems like it is so close to working. Thanks Storm On Sat, Oct 15, 2016 at 07:55:41AM +0200, AUR General wrote:

Just to chime in here, but it I just want to stress that gnu coreutils cp(1) does *not* have a -m flag. the flag in question is for the similar install(1) binary which can be said to be the prefered way to install files in package() {}.

Other than that, I might find a few minutes to install your package today and look into the problem. ok?
