Frequently Asked Questions

==========================

|
Manual keybinding
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to trigger guake manually, for instance on system where ``libkeybinder3`` does not work,
|
|
you can register the following snippet in your window manager
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.guake3.RemoteControl \
|
|
/org/guake3/RemoteControl org.guake3.RemoteControl.show_hide
|
|
|
|
You can use the simpler:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
guake-toggle
|
|
|
|
Please note the command `guake -t` will also toggle Guake but since it initialize a bit more than just
|
|
necessary, it can be slower that the two previous commands.
|
|
|
|
Note on Wayland
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
There are some reports of Guake not opening when a Wayland app or empty desktop is focused.
|
|
The issue has been reported on Ubuntu 17.10 LTS, Fedora 26 and Fedora 27.
|
|
For more context, see issue #1041.
|
|
|
|
The workaround is setting a manual keybinding as described above.
|
|
On Fedora 26, for example, this can be accomplished by going to *Settings > Keyboard* and
|
|
adding a new custom shortcut to execute :code:`guake-toggle`.

Note for Archlinux users
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
This applies to users of Archlinux based distributions too and may be of help to non
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu users as well. Currently ``make install`` is optimized for Ubuntu, which
|
|
does not mean that it cannot be used on other systems, but depending on your system
|
|
you may have to tell ``make install`` where to install guake
|
|
(the default for Ubuntu is ``/usr/local/lib/python3.x/dist-packages/guake``).
|
|
|
|
So on Ubuntu the following commands are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
$ sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/lobal
|
|
|
|
On Archlinux this can be done by passing ``/usr`` as ``PREFIX``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install PREFIX=/usr
|
|
|
|
which will changes the installation destination to ``/usr/lib/python3.x/site-packages/guake``.
|
|
|
|
Note that the install script automatically determines to use whether to use
|
|
``dist-packages`` or ``site-packaes``.
|
|
|
|
For more details checkout the official PKGBUILD at
|
|
`archlinux.org <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/guake/>`_, the PKGBUILD on
|
|
the `aur <http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/guake-git>`_ or this

Why Guake crashes with Tmux and Byubu?
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Tmux and Byobu can be used as shell instead of bash or zsh, but you should be sure to disable the
|
|
"use login shell" option. If set, Guake will not be able to start. Use ``dconf-editor`` to reset
|
|
this option if Guake cannot start again.
