* feat(snap): add Snap packaging recipe and store publish strategy
Add a strict-confinement snapcraft.yaml aligned with the current app
version and Flatpak sandbox lessons (mic, desktop, network models,
xdotool/xsel injection). Document human-only Snap Store steps and mark
install docs as not published yet.
Refs #48
* fix(snap): adopt-info so craftctl can set version from version.py
snapcraft pack failed: craftctl set version requires adopt-info on the part.
* fix(snap): stop staging GTK/GLib over the gnome platform
Prepending snap-staged GI typelibs and lib paths caused a segfault on
from gi.repository import Gtk. Use platform AppIndicator/GTK and only
stage PortAudio plus xdotool/clipboard helpers.
* docs(snap): note platform GTK path to avoid GI segfault
* fix(snap): route ALSA through Pulse so Settings does not abort
PortAudio enumerates ALSA devices when Settings opens. Missing
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf inside the snap triggered a PortAudio assert.
Ship an asound.conf that uses the pulse plugin, stage libasound2-plugins,
and bind ALSA paths via layout.
* fix(snap): keep ALSA conf under snap/local for snapcraft
Move asound.conf out of snap/alsa so snapcraft stops warning about
non-snapcraft paths in the snap directory.
* fix(snap): request raw-input for global keyboard shortcuts
Strict confinement blocks /proc/bus/input and /dev/input, so Wayland
evdev hotkeys never start. Declare the raw-input plug (manual connect)
and print snap-specific connect instructions instead of host input-group
hints.
* fix(hotkeys): discover keyboards via evdev when /proc is blocked
Snap raw-input grants /dev/input/event* but still denies
/proc/bus/input/devices, so find_keyboard_devices() returned empty
and hotkeys never started. Fall back to evdev.list_devices() when
/proc cannot be read.
* fix(snap): restore UI sounds and prefer wtype for Wayland inject
Stage paplay (pulseaudio-utils) and wtype; teach audio_feedback about
pw-play/canberra. xdotool-only injection often hits the wrong window on
native Wayland even when it reports success.
* fix(snap): sync 0.16.2/AGPL metadata and AppImage-safe audio env
Align snapcraft fallback version and store metadata with current main
(VocaHQ URLs, AGPL-3.0), keep docs pointing at #48 on VocaHQ, pass
host_env to pw-play/canberra paths, and document ordered Snap Store
human deploy steps.
* test(snap): harden audio host_env unit test against suite pollution
Patch os.path.exists like sibling audio_feedback tests instead of relying
on a real tempfile path that can collide with other suite mocks.
* style(snap): black-format new audio and snap packaging tests
* docs(snap): treat Store listing as live; edge→candidate→stable refresh
Name vocalinux is already on snapcraft.io (edge @ 0.14.0-beta rev 6).
Document upload/release without re-register, add snap-store-refresh.sh
helper, and point INSTALL/README/DISTRO at the live listing.
* fix(snap): move to core24 and close evdev capability FDs
core22 only ships Python 3.10, which fails requires-python >=3.11, so the
snap base is now core24 (Python 3.12) with the gnome-46 platform and the
Ubuntu 24.04 libasound2t64 package. Also close InputDevice after failed
capability scans and annotate the proc parser with TextIO.
* Snap: align store listing metadata and icon
Match snapcraft.yaml summary, description, license, website, and store
icon to the live Snap Store listing.
* Snap: trim packaging docs, script, and unused SVG
Drop store refresh wrapper, long packaging README, duplicate snap/gui SVG, and speculative pw-play/canberra paths; keep recipe and confinement fixes.
* ci: publish snap to edge and candidate on release tags
* Snap: set grade stable for candidate channel CI
* Snap: skip pip PyGObject; use gnome extension GI
* feat(flatpak): add Flatpak packaging for universal distribution
Adds a Flathub-ready Flatpak for the whisper.cpp engine, plus the minimal
runtime adaptations Flatpak actually needs — deliberately scoped down from the
earlier attempts (#416, #428), which bundled unrelated whisper.cpp GPU, audio,
and clipboard changes.
Packaging (packaging/flatpak/):
- app manifest, AppStream metainfo, and desktop entry (com.vocalinux.Vocalinux)
- generated offline Python dependency modules (flatpak-pip-generator)
- bundled shared modules: PortAudio, libayatana-appindicator, xdotool, xsel
Runtime changes (Flatpak-only, behaviour unchanged outside a sandbox):
- utils/paths.py: honour XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME so config, models and
runtime data live under ~/.var/app/<app-id> in the sandbox
- autostart uses `flatpak run <app-id>` (the host launcher is always on PATH)
- text injection and keyboard backend detect a Wayland host reached via XWayland
(no Wayland socket granted) and route through xdotool / pynput-on-X11
- tray indicator references the exported `<app-id>-*` host icon theme names
Also: a CI workflow building x86_64 + aarch64 bundles, and README / packaging
README / distro-compatibility doc updates.
Verified with a full flatpak-builder build + bundle install on aarch64:
pywhispercpp loads its native libraries without LD_LIBRARY_PATH, XDG paths
redirect correctly, bundled tools are present, and the entrypoint runs.
Manifest and builddir lint are clean and AppStream metadata validates.
Closes#167
* chore(flatpak): sync metainfo version to 0.14.0-beta
Also ignore flatpak-build-dir/ so local builder output stays untracked.
* refactor(flatpak): trim docs and comments after ponytail review
Drop redundant packaging README command blocks, shrink path/tray/autostart
comments, and stop ignoring a non-canonical build-dir name.
* fix(flatpak): close readiness gaps for v0.14.0-beta
Route log files through XDG data dirs so Flatpak keeps them under
~/.var/app, refresh AppStream screenshots to vocalinux.com, and use
the SPDX GPL-3.0-only license id.
* fix(flatpak): enable global hotkeys via evdev and --device=input
pynput over XWayland only receives keys for the focused X client. Prefer
evdev inside Flatpak and grant /dev/input so shortcuts work app-wide.
* fix(flatpak): inject text with ydotool/uinput on Wayland
xdotool only reaches XWayland clients, so typing appeared to succeed but
never hit native apps. Ship ydotool, grant --device=all for uinput, start
ydotoold on demand, and type via uinput inside the Flatpak.
* fix(flatpak): paste via wl-copy + Ctrl+V instead of typing
ydotool type injects character-by-character. Ship wl-clipboard, grant
--socket=wayland, and prefer clipboard paste for instant insertion.
* test(text-injection): expect ydotool default key-delay of 2
Matches the shipped VOCALINUX_YDOTOOL_KEY_DELAY default used when
clipboard paste falls back to character typing.
* test(recognition): cover _perform_recognition and _enqueue_audio_segment
The previous commit demoted logger.info('DEBUG: ...') to logger.debug(...)
and removed a dead loop body in _perform_recognition. Codecov flagged 12
uncovered lines — all inside _perform_recognition and _enqueue_audio_segment,
which existing tests always mocked out.
Add direct (non-mocked) tests for both methods:
- _enqueue_audio_segment:
* empty buffer → early return
* normal buffer → enqueues correctly
* full queue → drops oldest and retries
- _perform_recognition:
* processes a segment then exits on None signal
* drains remaining items on None signal
* exits cleanly when idle with empty queue
* continues looping on queue timeout while recording
These tests exercise the actual threading/queue logic and cover the
logger.debug / logger.warning calls as a side effect.
* test(conftest): suppress real desktop notifications during test runs
_show_notification shells out to notify-send, which pops up real system
notifications when tests exercise the model-not-ready path. Add an autouse
fixture that patches _show_notification for all tests EXCEPT those whose
name contains 'show_notification' (so direct tests of the helper still
verify subprocess.Popen calls).
* chore(gitignore): ignore .sisyphus directory
.opentree/ contains git worktrees created by the opentree CLI tool
(https://github.com/axelgar/opentree). These are local developer
artifacts and should not be tracked.
opentree.toml is the per-repo opentree config - also local/personal,
not something contributors need to share.
Remove MagicMock/ directory that was accidentally committed during
previous PR. This was a test artifact that shouldn't be in the repo.
Also add MagicMock/ to .gitignore to prevent future occurrences.
* fix: Phase 1 - Critical cross-distribution compatibility fixes
This commit implements the first phase of cross-distribution compatibility
improvements for Vocalinux, addressing the most critical issues that prevent
the application from working on non-Ubuntu distributions.
