Kazam Doesn't load on Ubuntu 20.04 at all
mvtdev1050 opened this issue · 5 comments
I have recently updated from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 but at once the Kazam stopped working. I am not able to open the app itself.
I have already tried this solution (#39) but didn't worked out as mine seems something different.
I have the same issue.
Just purged kazam through apt, removed kazam's ppa and installed it again through apt. Now it works without the errors.

did not work
The warning message comes from this line of code, implying that the python version on 20.04 that you have by default or by manual installation is too advanced for the current Kazam codebase; which you see by trying the code in the try except block in the python prompt:
>>> import platform
>>> dist = platform.linux_distribution()
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: dist() and linux_distribution() functions are deprecated in Python 3.5
The python version incompatibility probably runs deeper than just this version printing side piece. Not necessarily surprising given the last commit date on the Kazam github repo.
