See: https://github.com/cdberkstresser/fah-control

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y python3-stdeb python3-gi python3-all python3-six debhelper \
  dh-python gir1.2-gtk-3.0
OK, thanks!

So what options for those of us on 22.04 who don't want to muck around with snaps?

There is a third party version of FAHControl that was forked off the open source and updated to use Python 3. It is available at this location - https://github.com/cdberkstresser/fah-control.

I could not get FAHControl to work with 22.04, though I did also try that version and fiddling with the obvious stuff. It does work nicely on 20.04 from the .deb file with no fiddling.

Which version of Python 3 is currently loaded on your 22.04 system? Looking at the closed issues on Github, Python 3.10 introduced an error and that was eventually patched. If you can reproduce the error, it can be posted as a new issue and eventually fixed.

Thanks Joe_H. I've already gone back to 20.04. I might try to go 22.04 again sometime.

My error looked frighteningly similar to this one:

Does anyone using the snap edition know how to monitor the client's progress from another system. The files are not where they're expected and so all FAHControl from another system does is sit there trying to connect :e?:

FAHControl is not looking for files in specific locations, but makes a network connection over port 36330 to FAHClient. By default FAHClient only accepts connection over that port on the loopback IP of 127.0.0.1, you have to configure it to accept connections from other IP addresses. This post has a summary of the steps involved - viewtopic.php?p=327411#p327411 - under Managing Multiple Clients. There may be some additional settings related to how the snap environment's networking is handled.
