I get an error trying to run it from source too:

This is using the instructions from the readme.

Maybe you can compile the binary on something older, at least Ubuntu 18.04, so it has wider compatibility?

from guiscrcpy.

It was indeed a new learning experience for me. Thank you very much :)

from guiscrcpy.

OK, that's a bug. Did you try with the source code? I compiled it on 19.04, so the compatibility is from that version onwards. Thanks for testing and finding vulnerabilities

from guiscrcpy.

I don't have Ubuntu 18.04, I will try it with a live CD.

from guiscrcpy.

You can also use it in a virtual machine.

Yes, the binary error occurs on my device too, running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The rot cause is the native Python 3.6 as the interpreter. Hence Python 3.7 modules cannot be loaded onto the memory.

I shall compile another Linux version, using Python 3.6 modules.

However, the source code works perfectly, provided the up to date Python interpreter is used. Idk what is causing that error, but try apt install python3-pyqt5, if an option is available like that. But for me, I made it run on the LiveCD without that apt package

from guiscrcpy.

I just tried it, and the exact same error occurs when trying to run it from source on Ubuntu 19.04 too. And Ubuntu 19.04 has Python 3.7 by default.

from guiscrcpy.

I have added another commit adding a variable called dimension, try running python3 . after cloning the new source, and try again, hopefully, it should work. :)

from guiscrcpy.

Is the binary working on 19.04?

edit: I am currently packaging for 18.04 Ubuntu, I am extremely sorry, if I couldn't help you out.

from guiscrcpy.

@logix2 please try the latest 18.04 specific release for guiscrcpy, put on the README.md file Download section. Please update with the outcomes.

Happy to help

Hi.

I have added another commit adding a variable called dimension, try running python3 . after cloning the new source, and try again, hopefully, it should work. :)

Running it from source still fails. This is on Ubuntu 19.04:

$ python3 .

Is the binary working on 19.04?

Yes.

@logix2 please try the latest 18.04 specific release for guiscrcpy, put on the README.md file Download section. Please update with the outcomes.

This build works on Ubuntu 18.04, thank you!

from guiscrcpy.

This is the live example of running guiscrcpy from source on 18.04 LTS. I had no problem in installing so.

As the binary works fine, I am removing the bug label, and might close this issue soon. It looks like there has been an unwanted extension on your gnome-shell, which is raising this error. Seems like https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1267/no-title-bar/ had been creating the problems all day.

Please let me know, running from source, after disabling this gnome extension

from guiscrcpy.

That extension shows that output no matter what GUI app I launch from the command line, it's not related. And this issue is identical for me on both Ubuntu 19.04 (where I have that extension), and Ubuntu 18.04 (where I don't have that extension).

I'm just trying to make a blog post on my website https://www.linuxuprising.com about this scrcpy GUI which I find very interesting, but there are going to be users wanting to run it from source, that's why I want to see exactly how to do that... Maybe I have a missing dependency (which you forgot to mention in the readme) or something, given that it works for you?

from guiscrcpy.

I am indeed interested in your blog and the website mentioned above. I apologise for the uncapability of me understanding your error, (I am 16, so..), but I have created a workaround for the above mentioned problem in the latest commit (today). Hopefully this fixes your error, and get the source running. The file from which the error is raised, is actually created automatically by pyuic5, a component of PyQt5 from the UI xml file. If this commit, helps to solve your problem, I am glad to help you out. In the case, this creates another problem, please put the output in this thread. I am grateful to be able to work with you.

from guiscrcpy.

You don't have to apologise for anything, bugs happen, don't worry about it. Using the latest Git works and I can now run it from source, thank you very much! I'll make a post about guiscrcpy on my blog probably tomorrow.

from guiscrcpy.

As promised, I wrote an article on my blog about guiscrcpy. Thanks for this nice tool!
