Install Kazam on Fedora

gistfile1.sh

# 1. download zip from https://launchpad.net/kazam
# 2. extract into target folder

# install prerequisites (works on Fedora 21 with Python 3)
sudo yum install python3-distutils-extra python3-dbus intltool

# run the included setup from within the unzipped folder
sudo python3 setup.py install

# Done! Can start with either `kazam` command or find Kazam in the menu 

Someone knows how install on Fedora 24?

I installed kazam using this repo, for Fedora / Korora but generates an error when starting the application:
in fedora 24

I have a pc with fedora 23 and for that version works well
excuse the translation, I do not speak English, I use Google Traslate

Update:

• Install Kazam using this repo, for Fedora / Korora
• Edit /usr/bin/kazam file and add the following lines before import from gi.repository import Gtk

import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk

• Edit /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/backend/config.py file and modify get method

before:

def get(self, section, key):
        try:
          return ConfigParser.get(self, section, key)

after:

def get(self, section, key,raw=True,fallback='rest'):
        try:
            return super(KazamConfig,self).get(section, key, raw=raw, fallback=fallback)

the problem was solved here
It works fine in Fedora 24

Excuse the translation, I do not speak English, I use Google Traslate

thank you pal diniremix, I could install Kazam on Fedora 24, Now I want to set the correct icons , how do you think this could be done?

Hello. I get a new error after:

    Install Kazam using this repo, for Fedora / Korora
    Edit /usr/bin/kazam file and add the following lines before import from gi.repository import Gtk

import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")

    Edit /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/backend/config.py file and modify get method

before:

def get(self, section, key):
        try:
          return ConfigParser.get(self, section, key)

after:

def get(self, section, key,raw=True,fallback='rest'):
        try:
            return super(KazamConfig,self).get(section, key, raw=raw, fallback=fallback)

and ity says:

`Traceback (most recent call last):

`

@here any idea why it is not working on Fedora 25? :)

After applying patch got this one on Fedora 25:

$ kazam
/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/frontend/window_area.py:30: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

  from gi.repository import Keybinder
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Works on Fedora 25:

• Edit all those three files inserting them each gi.require_version.

• Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf file and uncoment the line WaylandEnable=false. This will disable Wayland and force to use Xorg.

reboot your system.

Using Fedora 26 and after doing all fixes in this issue I'm still getting

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

@ShahriyarR

#shakoheryerde )))

i have the same error on Fedora 32 (Rawhide) and i have installed already python3-pyxdg and get that at the start:

(why are the newlines not visible in the code block?)

I have this error when I try to run as a normal user.
