Input-leap fedora 39 GNOME Wayland

bennyp · November 14, 2023, 6:10am

I would like to use input-leap as a server on a GNOME Wayland Fedora Workstation 39, and as a client on a GNOME-Wayland Fedora Silverblue 39 workstation, as well as as a client on a macos installation.

I Installed the ei-enabled package from this COPR ofourdan/input-leap-ei-enabled

I got this output:

❯ input-leaps --debug DEBUG2 --no-daemon --name i --use-ei --config ~/.config/input-leap/default.conf
[2023-11-14T08:06:33] DEBUG: opening configuration "/home/bennyp/.config/input-leap/default.conf"

[2023-11-14T08:06:33] DEBUG1: caught cancel on thread 0x00000002

If i uninstall and use the non-copr version

❯ sudo dnf remove input-leap && sudo dnf install input-leap-2.4.0^20230918git004a54fb-1.fc39

in that case I get the same error as above

Then, running the GUI:

❯ input-leap --debug DEBUG2

I see in the input-leap log window

Did you install libportal from that COPR as well? Fedora’s libportal doesn’t yet have

Add support for the InputCapture portal

For the corresponding Portal PR, please see https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-deskt…op-portal/pull/714 This is a draft PR to add support for the input capture portal. Most of it is straightforward portal implementation but this portal does have a larger surface and more state than most, which raises a few questions: - [ ] ~~`XdpSession` is re-used for input capture portals now too. This makes namespacing (or the lack thereof) slightly awkward, e.g. the `activated` signal on the session is instead `inputcapture-activated` to avoid future conflicts, which then requires the other signals to be namespaced too.~~ - ~~ideally we'd have a `XdpInputCaptureSession` as subclass of `XdpSession` but the latter is declared final right now and I'm not 100% if that's an ABI break then.~~ edit: this was nacked in #102 - [ ] `XdpInputCaptureSession` now *contains* an `XdpSession` and the API is namespaced properly. - [x] The `enable`/`disable`/`release` methods ~~are paired with their respective `_finish`, but tbh this is of questionable value. Even if the portal keeps these as requests, I'd argue hiding this away here would make for better API - we can use the session signals to notify the caller out-of-band.~~ Update June 06: these are method calls now - [ ] the pointer barriers and capture zones have their own GObjects with properties and little other functionality. This makes for slightly more sensible API but it also conflicts a bit with e.g. `XdpSession` which doesn't have properties but setters/getters only. - [x] the `Disabled` signal is still missing here I just noticed - [x] there's a dbusmock/pytest based test suite included. ~~that won't run without patched dbus-python and dbusmock~~ but it makes testing *so* much easier. specifically, it allows to test libportal without an existing implementation of the actual portal. Merged to main in #99, this is just the inputcapture tests now The above are the larger topics, I'd appreciate a high-level review of the API and suggestions for where to go with this. cc @jadahl

Thanks for the tip!

I performed the following on the server

sudo dnf remove input-leap
sudo dnf copr enable ofourdan/input-leap-ei-enabled
sudo dnf install input-leap --repo copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:ofourdan:input-leap-ei-enabled
sudo dnf reinstall libportal --repo copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:ofourdan:input-leap-ei-enabled

Then i logged out and started input-leap, and that was enough to get a session working between fedora and mac os

I then performed the same steps on the silverblue client (in a toolbox), but the copy linked doesn’t have an aarch64 build, so i guess ill have to sit on my hands for that one. @ofourdan would you be willing to add an aarch64 build to your copr? anything I could do to help?

This is already a huge improvement though

brianjmurrell · December 1, 2023, 4:37pm

So I’ve installed input-leap and libportal from @ofourdan’s COPR repo and when I configure it and try to start the server I gets asked to allow reading input and click the Share button but then gnome-shell crashes.

Is @ofourdan’s COPR repo already out of date with Fedora 39?

ofourdan · December 1, 2023, 5:03pm

Yeah, Neal has updated input-leap in Fedora (rawhide and F39) to enable EI support, best is to use the “official” input-leap package from Fedora instead of my build in copr.

bennyp · December 2, 2023, 5:42pm

So today I updated my Fedora Workstation 39 GNOME input-leap server from the first package to the second package

1st package:

Name         : input-leap
Version      : 2.4.0^20230914git4ecedf1d
Release      : 1.fc39
Architecture : src
Size         : 4.9 M
Source       : None
Repository   : copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:ofourdan:input-leap-ei-enabled

2nd package:

Name         : input-leap
Version      : 2.4.0^20230918git004a54fb
Release      : 1.fc39
Architecture : x86_64
Size         : 805 k
Source       : input-leap-2.4.0^20230918git004a54fb-1.fc39.src.rpm
Repository   : fedora

input-leap no longer works, and clicking the “stop” button crashes my GNOME session. This is exactly what I had prior to installing the COPR packages.

I reverted the action with this command

sudo dnf remove input-leap && sudo dnf install input-leap  --repo copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:ofourdan:input-leap-ei-enabled

and found that input-leap immediately started working again

bizoo · January 18, 2024, 2:22pm

Hi,

The official package doesn’t work for me either in F39.

The solution shared by @bennyp works (but I had to install avahi-compat-libdns_sd also)

Do some of you know if input-leap can be started without having the wayland error message to close, and/or having the capture input to manually turn on?

shymega · January 31, 2024, 8:44pm

Developer/maintainer of Input Leap here. I recently made a change to the GUI, which removes the Wayland error, and replaces it with an info message instead, just to keep our issue tracker tidy.

What I may do is add a compile-time option, so it can be disabled. But currently, it’ll only display the message when the QPA platformType is matched to wayland, and doesn’t show the message when running under X11.

The InputCapture authorization hasn’t changed yet, but we are aware.

Note to inform people: Sway/wlroots-based WMs are not supported by our Wayland backend. I can’t see this changing.

bennyp · February 1, 2024, 7:20am

Thank you @shymega

For those following along from home, today I build input-leap from git with the following:

1. `libportal`'s InputCapture portal stuff was merged but has not yet been release, so we need to clone and build the latest libportal.

2. Then we'll need to get the latest input-leap sources

libportal/_build on  main [?] via C v13.2.1-gcc took 6m42s 
❯ cd ~/Developer

~/Developer 
❯ rm -rf input-leap/ && git clone git@github.com:input-leap/input-leap &&  cd input-leap

input-leap on  master via △ v3.27.7 
❯ git submodule update --init --recursive

3. turn on libei support

input-leap on  master [$] via △ v3.27.7 
❯ sed -ir 's/INPUTLEAP_BUILD_LIBEI\(.*\)OFF/INPUTLEAP_BUILD_LIBEI\1ON/' CMakeLists.txt

4. install and build
