aw-qt fails to start on gnome 40 (Wayland) because of old libgio-2.0.so.0

[nbCloud91]

• I am on the latest ActivityWatch version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

• OS name and version: Ubuntu 21.10 linux:5.13.0-28-generic
• ActivityWatch version: v0.11.0

Describe the bug

Although default gnome does not have system-tray, most common distributions provide extensions to circumvent that. Thus, aw-qt should work in these cases. But upon starting it with ./aw-qt, this error comes up and process is terminated:

...
2022-02-04 22:31:36 [INFO ]: Creating trayicon...  (aw_qt.trayicon:206)
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

(aw-qt:7407): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 22:31:36.281: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings' does not contain a key named 'antialiasing'

fish: Job 1, 'aw-qt' terminated by signal SIGTRAP (Trace or breakpoint trap)

Workaround

the libgio-2.0.so.0 bundled with the application is old and is requesting a key which is not present. I deleted the bundled lib and got the tray-icon to work.

@nbCloud91 I just released v0.12.0b1, which still contains the libgio library.

Can you confirm the error is still present in that release and that removing the lib solves it?

[nbCloud91]

Checked out the pre-release v0.12.0b1, still the same issue.

PS: I'm not using ActivityWatch, looking at the state of affairs regarding Gnome implementation of Wayland, it seems like many convenience software packages will not be available to end users. Neither is there any consensus among the different DEs regarding wlroots or other standards. Tried using sway, but I do not like tiling WM, gave up.

@ErikBjare I am getting this error using v0.12.0b2

I'm getting this error on recently published 0.12.0, on Ubuntu 21.10

[ErikBjare]

@tmotyl Did removing the library work in your case too? Which distro?

Ubuntu 21.10 on Wayland

vanilla AW:

2022-08-31 17:40:10 [INFO ]: Creating trayicon...  (aw_qt.trayicon:205)
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

after removing libgio-2.0.so.0

2022-08-31 19:20:20 [INFO ]: Creating trayicon...  (aw_qt.trayicon:205)
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
2022-08-31 19:20:20 [INFO ]: Initialized aw-qt and trayicon successfully  (aw_qt.trayicon:244)

so error is gone, but warning stays

Ubuntu 22 after removing libgio getting ./aw-qt: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags

When running aw-qt with the aw-awatcher binary from https://github.com/2e3s/awatcher, I'm seeing a similar error:

/home/user/.local/opt/activitywatch/libQt6WaylandClient.so.6: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags

This configuration is in place at .config/activitywatch/aw-qt/aw-qt.toml:

[aw-qt]
autostart_modules = ["aw-server-rust", "aw-awatcher"]
#autostart_modules = ["aw-server-rust", "aw-watcher-afk", "aw-watcher-window"]
