AttributeError when using GlobalMenu() about qtile-extras HOT 20 CLOSED

Yeah - it only works for apps that have implemented the spec.

Glad it's working.

from qtile-extras.

Alright, now it shows for some apps (Telegram-Desktop, KeePassXC, VLC). Others like Firefox don't show anything (but I guess that's because Firefox doesn't send the menu through dbus as VLC, according to the GlobalMenu() docs you wrote).

In fact, solving this also fixed my Mpris2 widget that didn't work before that. Thank you so much.

Have you got the latest qtile-extras installed?

from qtile-extras.

I have latest qtile-extras-git from AUR. Already deleted and reinstalled, just in case, but no luck yet.

from qtile-extras.

Can you just open a python terminal and try:

>>> from qtile_extras import widget
>>> gm = widget.GlobalMenu()

Let me know what happens.

from qtile-extras.

Hereś my config file: https://github.com/Javigo07/.config/tree/main/qtile/qtile The working-screens.py is an old backup.
Also, the output gave me that GlobalMenu() does exist.

from qtile-extras.

Weird. I don't get any issues when I run python config.py (other than me needing to hardcode some colours).

from qtile-extras.

Have you restarted qtile since updating qtile-extras? Could you be using the cached (previous) version?

from qtile-extras.

Deleted old pacman and yay cache, reinstalled qtile-extras and restarted qtile and now I am able to restart/reload_config from qtile commands, but the GlobalMenu() is not showing. Tried with VLC as the Docs show, but Menu still showing on the app.

qtile check now is showing the following output: https://dpaste.com/8FYNY9HYC

from qtile-extras.

You can ignore that message.

Can you check your log and see if there are any messages.

from qtile-extras.

https://dpaste.com/3WLBL54WV Well, I don't see anything new, weird or bad. It looks fine.

from qtile-extras.

Your log is flooded with dbus error messages. It won't work if dbus isn't working properly.

How are you starting qtile?

Is dbus running? What happens if you install d-feet and try running that?

from qtile-extras.

What should I see for?
The app opens and shows data for blueman, bluez, mpris2 for Firefox, keepass, those things.

from qtile-extras.

Interesting - so dbus is running.

In the session bus, search for "registrar".

from qtile-extras.

It doesn't appear.

from qtile-extras.

Btw, on the log it appears something about registrar.py:
WARNING libqtile registrar.py:start():L64 Starting Registrar: self.started=False
Could this be related?

from qtile-extras.

That's an old log message that I need to remove.

However, you see that line about starting the registrar and immediately after is a dbus error message.

So, the issue seems to be your dbus installation, not the widget.

What happens when you do cat /var/lib/dbus/machine-id?

from qtile-extras.

Also cat /etc/machine-id

from qtile-extras.

I got 6a09bc4e3440881536581c5c6202e9fa with cat /etc/machine-id, but as the log states, cat /var/lib/dbus/machine-id doesn´t exist (No such file or directory).

from qtile-extras.

ok so I don't know why it's missing but you could do sudo ln -s /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id.

After that, restart qtile.
