Notes on Linux

The Babble App​

v4l2/v4l-utils​

If you receive a ["Error listing UVC devices on Linux ... No such file or directory"] when choosing/changing your camera, you'll need to install video4linux (v4l-utils) for your distro.

For Ubuntu or other distros with apt:

sudo apt-get install v4l-utils

tkinter​

If you receive a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter' error message on run, you'll need to install tkinter for your distro.

For Ubuntu or other distros with apt:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

For Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

You can read more about this here.

udev​

If you have trouble connecting to your Babble Board (IE being denied permission to access it), you will need to set up and configure udev rules.

Desktop Environments​

KDE Plasma​

If your GUI window shows just the top row of buttons, set a resolution for the Babble App manually in KDE's Window Settings. 800x600y is a good starting point with plenty of empty space.

Cinammon​

No issues have been reported with the graphical client on cinammon.

Building from source​

If building from source, you will need to remove the line onnxruntime-directml==X.XX.X from the requirments.txt file inside the BabbleApp folder.
