Please replace python-xdg dep with python-pyxdg, had to switch to make the program launch.

ulauncher seems to use python-pyxdg rather than python-xdg now.

@sem.z I had the same error and I was able to resolve it by forced removal of python-xdg and installation of python-pyxdg.

If someone getting an error:

$ ulauncher
\Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ulauncher", line 27, in <module>
    from ulauncher.main import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ulauncher/main.py", line 19, in <module>
    from ulauncher.config import (get_version, get_options, is_wayland, is_wayland_compatibility_on,

    from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_config_home, xdg_cache_home, xdg_data_dirs, xdg_data_home
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xdg.BaseDirectory'

Install python-pyxdg dependency instead of python-xdg.

Message for maintainer: Is it possible to include @yochananmarqos comments into the recommended files? They fix all the issues of this package. Thanks

PKGBUILD critique:

  • A package already provides itself, no need for provides() and conflicts().
  • libappindicator-gtk3 should be optional
  • wmctrl is missing as an optional dependency, see Hotkey In Wayland.
  • Checksums are missing for the tarball, do not skip them
  • The service should be installed
  • Line 34 & 35 are not necessary

Improved PKGBUILD and install file.

jtylerjones -- to enable the systemd user service, you may need to create the file /etc/systemd/user/ulauncher.service with the contents of https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/blob/dev/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service, and then enable the service with systemctl --user enable ulauncher.service.

I was able to get around the python3-distutils-extra error by simply installing python2.

DanieleMDN commented on 2020-12-01 17:41

I fix the python3-distutils-extra error by adding (as ulauncher said) /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH:

  1. Open a terminal

  2. Open the .bashrc with a text editor, eg. Kate ~/.bashrc

  3. Add at the end export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages"

  4. Install ulauncher

Note: you must be under python environment. I was in anaconda environment and even if the python3-distutils-extra did not appear I was not able to compleate the installation, so I ran conda deactivate and after the installation conda activate

5.8.1 (https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/releases/tag/5.8.1) added a systemd service. However, it does not appear to be included in the tar this uses to build.

I could see it being retrieved using something like this "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/${pkgver}/contrib/systemd/ulauncher.service"

One suggestion: can we add wmctrl as an optional dependency? Without it, the window does not focus in Wayland. See https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/wiki/Hotkey-In-Wayland
