Peek: Settings schema 'com.uploadedlobster.peek' is not installed

[orschiro]

Dear all,

Can someone please help me with this problem?

orschiro@x230:~/Desktop$ peek

Is this latest development version from PPA? There were some changes to the build system yesterday that did not work well at first and needed fixing. I will look into the PPA builds and see if there were any issues with the latest revision.

I can confirm this with 1.0.3-0+git573, the files are installed all into the wrong place. But fixed with latest latest Peek 1.0.3-0+git576. Please run a full apt update and then apt install peek to install that.

[orschiro]

It got fixed. Thank you! :-)

I have the same issue on manjaro.

I've tried master HEAD, v1.0.3, v1.0.1. None of them works

I have the same issue on manjaro.

No, it's not the same issue, this here is specifically about a packaging error in the Ubuntu packages.

How did you install Peek? This sounds like whatever package you use, it does not install the schema properly. Try running as root:

glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

How did you install Peek?

I install it from source. (There's wired issue with the flatpak package I'm using currently.)

Here's my installation script (on manjaro):

#!/bin/sh

set -x

mkdir -p ~/.local/src/
cd ~/.local/src/

if [ ! -d peek ]
then
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/phw/peek.git
fi
mkdir peek/build
cd peek/build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local/stow/peek ..
make
make install


cd ~/.local/stow
stow peek

This sounds like whatever package you use, it does not install the schema properly. Try running as root:

Unfortunately glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas didn't help.

[roxma@roxma-pc ~]$ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Do I need to open another issue?

[phw]

Stow and GSettings schemas need some extra work: whenever you stow or unstow an application in ~/.local which provides a glib schema you will need to run

glib-compile-schemas ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Also by default applications might not pick up GSettings schemas from ~/.local, you likely will have to expand your $XDG_DATA_DIRS:

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.local/share/:$XDG_DATA_DIRS

Best set this in your ~/.profile.

By far the easier solution would be to build peek from AUR and install it as a proper package :)

Do I need to open another issue?

Let's see if we could handle it here :) If the above doesn't help, yes please, add another issue. It's easier to keep track of than to discuss in a long closed issue.

@phw It's working. Thank you very much!
