Would adding gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 to the apt-requirements.txt file solve it?

[josephj11]

Is this exclusive to autokey-gtk or are similar changes needed to autokey-qt?

[ineuw]

I have a very similar issue with Kubuntu where both versions fail. Should I open a new ticket against advice? I have the error messages but it was after installation

[josephj11]

@ineuw Post the error message here and we'll see if it fits here or needs a separate issue.

[ineuw]

I simply switched to the .deb files. But my error was not the GTK/Ayatana error.

Currently gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 is already the newest version (0.5.90-7ubuntu2) is my version in LMC 21.1. I am sure its the same version in Ku22.04

The subject line for this issue mentions using pip install . as the command. If that's the case, it may be to blame. Have you tried the pip3 install autokey command from the Installing wiki page? And if so, does it give the same error?
