Sticky Notes doesn't work on KDE Wayland

Support KDE Plasma
1

I installed Sticky (1.18-1) from official repository, but it doesn’t start, neither from the menu nor from the command line. From the command line I got:

➜ ~ which sticky
/usr/bin/sticky
➜ ~ sticky
/usr/bin/sticky: line 3: /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py: Permission denied
➜ ~

I know there is a sticky note from plasma, but it not too convenient to open.

Hello @XJia :wink:

I agree that there is problem and thanks for reporting.

A simple fix for now is:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py

@Yochanan You might made a mistake here.

$ stat /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py                                                                         ✔

$ cat /usr/bin/sticky
#!/bin/bash

/usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py $*

Make /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py executable (755) or include python in /usr/bin/sticky.

See here:

On the git repo /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py has 755 not 644.

After doing:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py

it can be launched from the menu (launcher), otherwise, it didn’t work.

Fixed with sticky 1.18-2.
