Solaar: Ubuntu PPA not working and not building

[mfraser]

If I run the version downloaded using git, it works fine.

[mfraser]

diff -y bin/solaar /usr/bin/solaar

!/usr/bin/env python3 | #!/usr/bin/python

Edited /usr/bin/solaar to use python3 instead of python 2.7 and it works again.

Thanks for the report. Some recent versions of Solaar required python3 but did not completely enforce its use, which is what you experienced. The current packaging file used for the Ubuntu PPA is producing an error so the Ubuntu PPA is not being updated.
Help would be appreciated in fixing the packaging file packaging/debian/control

A fix should be in the works.

@pfps
I fixed building in PPA, remove gnome3/unity integration and tested on Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon, it works without any errors/Issues.

Except, I noticed in a new Solaar version that is now listed old Logitech S 510 Cordless Keyboard.
Only it has battery status and instead of keyboard name it showing wireless network pid.
I don't now is this issue or is noramal

Today I removed the installed git-ppa version of solaar, which give errors. Next I installed the latest again from the git ppa (version 1.0.1+dfsg-3+git919-af26870-202003142132~ubuntu18.04.1). (just an upgrade was not working).

It works now for me without issues. Thanks for the improvements.

@Klap-in Thanks to @muzena from me as well.

@muzena Feel free to start a new issue for what you noticed in your previous comment. I don't have the hardware in question so I can't tell for sure whether there is a problem there without more information.

I'm closing this issue as resolved.
