Fedora 35 compatibility

Hello,

After updating to Fedora 35 this morning, my streamdeck_ui was broken. Reinstalling it gave me a bunch of successive errors because of missing dependencies on my system.

I managed to get it to run again by making sure all of the following dev packages were installed:

• freetype-devel
• hidapi-devel
• libhid-devel
• libjpeg-devel
• libpng-devel
• libusb-devel
• libxc-devel
• systemd-devel
• zlib-devel

Not sure all of them are required, but here you go.

As far as I can understand what happened, some of these dependencies would be directly needed by streamedck_ui (hidapi, libhid, libusb, libxc, zlib) while the others are needed by a Python peer dependency named Pillow (freetype-devel, libjpeg-devel, libpng-devel).

To make all of that work, I had to make some cleanup on my system, especially since Pillow was not in a good place. Please find below a script that makes streameck_ui work 100% on my Fedora 35, taking care of all the needed steps:

pip3 uninstall pil Pillow streamdeck_ui
pip3 cache purge
sudo dnf install freetype-devel hidapi-devel libhid-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libusb-devel libxc-devel systemd-devel zlib-devel
pip3 install --user streamdeck_ui

Hope it could help. Cheers!

This is a python3.10 issue. Large parts of the poetry install require python<3.10 and Fedora 35 comes with python3.10.1. To solve this I forked the repo, cloned it to my local, installed python 3.9.6, setup a virtualenv running python3.9.6, and did the poetry install. After that you can just run streamdeck. This is all probably overkill, but I was downloading thinking I was looking for a way to add a new device and was pleasantly surprised. Hope this helps someone else.

After forking:

git clone https://github.com/$GITHUB_ACCOUNT/streamdeck-ui.git
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.6/Python-3.9.6.tgz
tar xzf Python-3.9.6.tgz 
rm Python-3.9.6.tgz
cd Python-3.9.6 
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations 
sudo make altinstall
python3.9 -V 
cd ../streamdeck-ui
virtualenv -p `which python3.9` ./streamdeck-env
source streamdeck-env/bin/activate
poetry install

Version 1.1.3 is now published and should resolve the python 3.9 dependency issue as well as provide support for Mark 2 type devices.
