Input Remapper not starting #1016

Any idea why this might be happening:

I don't remember seeing this error unfortunately, sorry

Seems similar to the recent Arch Linux issue: #1013
What is your glib2 version?
If it's version 2.82.3-1, that explains the issue.
Either downgrade to 2.82.2-1 (or earlier) or upgrade to 2.82.3-3 if available.

On Clear Linux you would have to downgrade the entire system with sudo swupd repair -m [last working OS version] --force.
Or you can forcibly overwrite glib2's installed files if rolling back the entire system is too intrusive.

On other distro's I would not recommend overwriting files like this since it causes issues on updates.
But on Clear Linux sudo swupd repair should revert manually changed system files when needed.
Though first check with sudo swupd diagnose to ensure that you won't delete something important.
And add --picky to both stages if it does not work.

That might be it. Here it shows 2.82.3, though I can't tell if it's "-1" or "-2," or "-3."

If that's all there is to it, I'm sure CL people will fix it in the new CL version, and I am happy to wait for now.

Thanks!

This depends on the versioning. The trailing -X numbers indicate builds of minor bugfixes of the same release.
Clear Linux seems to be counting independently of (minor) version numbers, so their 2.82.2-1 is -192, their 2.82.3-1 -193 and if rebuild the fixed version will be -194.

This depends on whether they re-build the -3 revision of glib2.
edit: They won't update to the patched version, instead they will update to the glib 2.83.4 soon: clearlinux/distribution#3228 (comment)
If you want it fixed sooner, you can run:
sudo swupd repair -m 42770 --force to downgrade to the previous Clear Linux version with glib2 2.82.2.
swupd autoupdate --disable to temporarily disable automatic background updates.
And once it is resolved, swupd autoupdate --enable to enable said automatic updates again.

--off-topic--
What a coincidence to see someone else also using Clear Linux for a father's laptop!
Even with the same issue I recently reported on my Garuda (Arch-based) system.
On my server I still am a Clear Linux enjoyer, but since I have moved my father's laptop to TuxedoOS, though in a duel-boot with the old Clear Linux installation as a reliable backup.
This move was because document scanning stopped working when we needed it, along with myself having gotten more disillusioned with the current GNOME desktop and not liking how Clear Linux implements KDE Plasma.
Of course all that would have been fixable on Clear Linux too, but on a desktop I would rather not deal with their great but occasionally annoying "stateless" filesystem concept.

Removing and cleanbuilding input-remapper-git from Aur fixed the issue for me

I am also having issues starting after I updated and neither the gui nor service start

This is an unrelated issue, which I have reported at #1021 now.

Returning to this issue, it has not yet been resolved by Clear Linux upstream.
The latest Clear Linux build 42800 still has glib-2.82.3-193, which is the affected version.
As found on https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/42800/clear/x86_64/os/Packages/
after using https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/ to find the latest release.

Yeah, looks like Arjan and the boys are taking a bit of a vacation this Christmas, and deservedly so. I guess all we can do at this point is wait.

Not all you can do. Downgrading still is an option, Clear Linux lets you do that in place.

I just spun up the Clear Linux install still on my father's laptop and ran the downgrade commands I suggested at #1016 (comment)
sudo swupd autoupdate --disable and sudo swupd repair -m 42770 --force, followed with a reboot and input-remapper should work again.
The commands took a good while to complete and gave a few download errors, which it retried successfully.
After this the system is functional, so I think it can be considered safe to perform this downgrade.

After the fixed glib 2 update has been pushed, running sudo swupd autoupdate --enable will make the system continue to update as normal.
If you are not around to manually enable this again, it can be scheduled by putting something like 0 12 * 2 * root swupd autoupdate --enable in /etc/cron.d/undo-system-downgrade.
This example enables automatic updates again at 12:00 on every day in February, to be certain-ish that it will trigger at least once.
Which requires the cronie service to be installed and enabled, I did confirm that cronie applies the setting correctly.

Side-note, I am investigating this so thoroughly because I consider it a preparation for if I have to downgrade the Clear Linux install on my home server.
Of course downgrading the entire OS is not ideal from a security perspective, but it is a good stop-gap solution while waiting for the proper resolution.

@Aqua1ung, it seems that Clear Linux release 42810 updated to the fixed glib 2.82.4-164 update.
As seen from https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/42810/clear/x86_64/os/Packages/glib-2.82.4-194.x86_64.rpm
Though sudo swupd repair -m 42810 fails with Error: Failed to retrieve 42810 MoM manifest for now.

The solution is in the pipeline at least, but for the moment Clear Linux stays on the affected 42790 release.
So once release 42810 or later is pushed to the standard updates, input-remapper should work again.

Thanks. I saw that.
