I'm using a darkish theme on my desktop and sadly the buttons in the status bar are badly/invisible.

It would be nice to add either an additional button with bright symbols or move the buttons out of the status bar to allow easy workings with dark themed window frames.

Looking in the repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/ there is no path for ubuntu 18.04

After installing it on ubuntu 16.04 I cannot find the plug-ins (the list is empty). Do I have to install them somehow separately?

The Key used for signing the apt packages:
expired on the 4th of December and would require an update:

from apt-key list:

pub   rsa2048 2015-02-13 [SC] [expired: 2023-12-04]
      DCF5 D046 3AE9 9F52 9DDD  F0B2 3126 A343 8CA9 B269
uid           [ expired] home:eliostvs OBS Project <home:[email protected]>

apt update will produce the expected error as well.

Hi, I'm trying to run tomate-gtk on debian sid and I'm getting the following error :

python3 tomate_gtk/main.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tomate_gtk/main.py", line 14, in <module>
    from tomate.app import Application
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tomate.app'

python3 version is 3.6.6

Thanks for your help,
Thomas

When I run aptitude update :

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_16.04 ./ Release: The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1492990945

I've tried to add again the key but without any success.

By the way your app is awesome!

I'd like set any music for this plugin. Is it possible easy?
And I want to block video output during short break time

Is there a way to control Tomate from the command line?

Hello!
Thank you for ur work, it is pretty amazing what simple and efficient tool u've built here!
I installed the "tomate-statusicon-plugin" and activated it in the preferences, but unfortunately it doesn't work under my ubuntu 20.04 LTS system..
Are there any recommendations what I can do, or is it a unfixed bug?
If so, I would highly appreciate when that works, as this function was the main reason for me to get this amazing tool!
happy about ur answer
best regards
Matt

Currently you use yaourt to provide an example for downloading on Arch based distros.

This is not a safe way to install software, so I'd recommend to just switch the example to "pacaur -S tomate-gtk", as that is a much better option.

After the update to 0.4 version via apt-get upgrade, tomate stopped working, the run log is as follows:

Hey, first of all, I really like tomate-gtk. Imo it's the perfect mixture of simplicity and functionality for pomodoros.

But one thing I miss: When a pomodoro starts, I'd like to do some things (shut off all distractions etc) and when it finishes putting everything back to normal again. Since these things change often it doesn't make sense to do that as specific plugins, so a general plugin that allows executing some commands in a shell environment would solve all these things together.

Is such a plugin in scope of this project?

I'm running into this error:

Hello,

With some pip magic, I got tomate-gtk to run on Fedora (without actually installing, just via make run). But I can't quite figure out how to install extensions.

How do I go about adding them?

Thanks.

Hello, thank you for your work, I used this app for the long time, however in Ubuntu (Kubuntu) 17.10 Tomate refuses to start with this stacktrace:

I thought it caused some broken packages after update from 17.04 to 17.10, but it occurs on clean 17.10 install too. Have you any ideas? Thanks!

To install the apt-get method, have to edit the release key details in Debian 8+ instruction, since the file is in location http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/Debian_10/

RELEASE=`sed -n 's/VERSION_ID="\(.*\)"/\1/p' /etc/os-release`

Following lines worked smoothly. However after the installation there is error related as per this issue #28 (comment). My python env is base on Conda and from /opt/conda/bin/python.

Tried to install the tomate https://github.com/eliostvs/tomate from source

git clone https://github.com/eliostvs/tomate
cd tomate
pip install setup.py

To import the tomate libs as per the files in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tomate_gtk/main.py. Needed to install following libraries

pip install dbus-python
pip install wiring
pip install venusian

With this, the import for tomate works without any issue but starting the program tomate-gtk ends up in error such as described here. Then made source compile of tomate-gtk as well by

git clone https://github.com/eliostvs/tomate-gtk.git
cd tomate-gtk
pip install .

With this the tomate-gtk works perfectly and I could install the indicator plugin

sudo apt-get install tomate-indicator-plugin

which helps in place the tomate timer countdown in xfce4 panel.

The app works perfectly eventhough the installation is duplicated with conda based source installation and deb package installation. Moreover if the deb is uninstalled there will be error saying there is no program /usr/bin/tomate-gtk, so kept as such.

Hi, I'm trying to install Tomate using the instructions for Ubuntu 16.04. I get the message:

Hello!

The repo for openSuse is not available anymore for stable.
I've tried the test repo, however dependencies cannot be resolved (Problem: nothing provides python(abi) = 3.7 needed by tomate-gtk-0.11.0-41.1.noarch).

Although Indicator Icon works on Ubuntu 16.04, but that's not as cool as the status icon.

No big thing, just noticed that when starting the timer for a break the notification says "It's time to work.". Might be a quick fix. Got a little bit confused :)

Hi. Since updating to version 0.6.0 I get the following issue (I'll note that I've also done a full reinstall and purged the old PPA)

Hi ,

Some of my friends are non linux users.

can i install tomate for them on windows , mac osx ?

gtk does have support across operating systems - so this could be possible.

please guide on installation across windows, mac osx.

Hey, any chance of building a 21.10 package? On https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:eliostvs:tomate/tomate-gtk it says build failed, however I guess that was maybe automated. There was a big banner on the OBS saying Ubuntu 21.10 was now working, maybe the build just needs to be kicked off again?

Thanks for maintaining this!

Hi!

Like the software and use it a lot, so don't want to remove the repo just to make my apt update start working again.

Hello,

I am using fedora 24

could you please give me instructions to install from source ?

i tried : make
but installation didnt happen.

please do guide to install from source.

Hi
I am trying to install tomate-gtk for elementary OS Luna 0.2.1
When i run this command:
sudo wget -O- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_$RELEASE/Release.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_$RELEASE/ ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tomate.list"
it gives me an error:
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
I don't know what is gpg, and how to resolve this issue.
It's some issue or i am doing something wrong?

I was able to install Tomate using 18.10 repo, but the 19.04 one is missing.

Hi. It seems that with the latest update has brought back the "No module named wiring" issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!:

A minor feature, but rather convenient. When a pomodoro ends, I just want to start the 5-minuter, but have to drag the mouse to start it, when instead there could be a shortcut to start the timer

Ubuntu 18.04. Pulling from 20.04. Tried sudo apt-get install tomate-gtk --reinstall

Hi
After doing a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade , the application started malfunctioning.
button replay disappeared,
button minimize disappeared,
indication over pomodoro number disappeared
close button changed position,
settings button changed icon and in tab "Extensions" you can no longer see the list of extensions.

Following screenshots

Please your help cause I love this application

You should be able to pause the timer. Say someone comes and talks to you, or you have to stop working for some other reason, you don't want to count that as work time. Or maybe you want 30 extra seconds of work time, so you pause the break timer. Currently I can't seem to do this. Am I missing something?

I've tried tomate-indicator-plugin and tomate-statusicon-plugin without success. Is there something specific that I need to do?

I see that the package comes with a monochrome scheme in the Adwaita folder, but when I use Adwaita as my fallback icon theme (I use KDE with Breeze icons) Tomate does not respect this and simply uses the hicolor theme. Any ideas how to rectify?

I normally have a lot of tabs open in my panel. I can however control many apps via the tray icon. It would be nice to control Tomate this way too. For example, you left-click the icon, and the main windows appears (without opening a new tab in the panel). This no-tab option could be selected in preferences.

Great app anyway!

Doesn't seem to be working with a system upgraded to Python 3.7.

Within the past month or so, I have started getting the following error message when running apt update,

W: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_19.04 ./ Release: The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 3126A3438CA9B269 home:eliostvs OBS Project <home:[email protected]>

lucho@lucho-XPS15:~$ sudo apt-get install python3
Reading package lists... Done

python3 is already the newest version (3.5.1-3).

I'm stuck!

Using the commands from the README on Ubuntu 18.04, I got the following error for apt update:
E: The repository 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_18.04 ./ Release' does not have a Release file.

When I manually changed the repo to point at the 17.10 version, I could run tomate again. This sounds similar to #24.

I wanted to use tomate but i’m working on a macbook, is it possible to port it to MacOs?

Thanks for the great app.
