How can I install and run guake via pip without this problems??

My operating system is:

martin at martin-work unicorn >>> lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Release:        9.4

Guake does not support python 2.7

Use pip3 install guake.

[mjablecnik]

Ok I installed python3 with pip3 and now I have this problem:

martin at martin-work unicorn >>> sudo pip3 install guake

Have you installed a guake using your system manager before? If yes, did
you uninstall it?
If not, you may have conflicting guake versions installed.

[gsemet]

I never fully validated the install from pip. I tested it to update an already installed Guake but pip install guake actually does NOT:

• check system dependencies (keybinder, gtk, vte)
• install GSettings schema (+ compilation)
• install language

This needs to be done to finish the install by pip. I see lot of distribution that does not package recent Guake version (most of them have Guake 3.0.x, even some like fedora on 0.8!), so this needs to be properly handled

[qincg]

I have the same problem,can you tell me how to solve it? I've installed guake-3.0 from 'sudo apt install guake' before,and i have removed it,'whereis guake' --result is:guake not found. the log is the same as the brother above from pip.
my OS :ubuntu 18.04
python version:3.6.5
pip version:pip 10.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pip (python 3.6)
thank you very much

Are there any deb packages available somewhere? Snap perhaps?

[cklaucke]

Pip downloads the Guake wheel file, e.g. Guake-3.2.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl from https://pypi.org/project/Guake/#files and typically installs it to ~/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake.
It seems the provided wheel file is not packaged correctly:

1. The data directory from the repo is completely missing, but it contains the images, glade and schema.
2. Furthermore, the wheel file contains only paths.py.in, which obviously needs some processing to become paths.py. That's why python raises the exception ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'guake.paths'

I copied data to my machine, updated the *_DIR variables in paths.py.in accordingly and renamed it to paths.py. After these fixes I was able to start guake.
When copying data to ~/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake, ~/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake/paths.py shall look like this:

import os

LOCALE_DIR = "/usr/local/share/locale"
IMAGE_DIR = "/home/<user>/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake/data/pixmaps"
GLADE_DIR = "/home/<user>/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake/data"
SCHEMA_DIR = "/home/<user>/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake/data"
GUAKE_THEME_DIR = ""
LOGIN_DESTOP_PATH = ""
AUTOSTART_FOLDER = ""

Please add data to the wheel file and let the setup mechanism process paths.py.in.

[gsemet]

Indeed I have a dev branch not yet ready

[r-barnes]

Using the fix by @cklaucke gets me a little farther. I then get the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rick/.local/bin/guake", line 11, in <module>

GLib.Error: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “/home/rick/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/guake/data/gschemas.compiled”: open() failed: No such file or directory (4)

[cklaucke]

That's because I forget to mention that I checked out the git repository and called make and used the resulting data directory.
When calling make *.desktop files are generated (probably not needed), locales (not needed if English suffices), paths.py file is generated (already done in my workaround) and finally the schema gets compiled.

So in addition to the steps mentioned above you may try: Change to SCHEMA_DIR, e.g. /home/<user>/.local/lib/<python_version>/site-packages/guake/data (where org.guake.gschema.xml resides) and run glib-compile-schemas --strict . This should result in a gschemas.compiled file and hopefully that's sufficient to get guake running.

[eblis]

I've recently encountered this same issue while installing guake 3.3.0, where I understand that this should be fixed. Should I raise a new issue for this ? I'm getting the exact same error as the first comment and initially installed with apt-get and then uninstalled, try to install from pip.
