photoworks Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I have found a newest version of Super karamba (0.36) and i downloaded Liquid Weather 6.0. This is suppose to work, but when i launch the them, it does not display it or superkaramba crashes. Any help please !!!! I am desperate to find a solution to this issues.

devries Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Can you run it from a console and post the errors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 When i run superkaramba from the console and then launch Liquid weather, here what it tells me : Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/themes/kde themes/liquid_weather_plus/liquid_weather.py", line 13, in ? import os ImportError: No module named os ------------------------------------------------------ What does ImportError mean? It means that I couldn't load a python add-on for liquid_weather.theme If this is a regular theme and doesn't use python extensions, then nothing is wrong. ------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Sounds like the liquidweather script can't find neccesary stuff on you computer. Do you have python installed correctly? Try urpmi.update -a and urpmi python. Or run the repair script from the tips&tricks forum on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Where do you find the repair tool ? Steve Scrimpshire's repair script - it's pinned in Tips & Tricks. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Reinstall mandriva 2005. Do not upgrade (always the cause of much problems) but reinstall cleanly (you can ofcourse keep you /home and all your user data). I tried installing superkaramba and LW. It works without problems here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 how can you keep your /home and user data if you reinstall cleanly, i thought it would wipe out everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 A default mandriva install creates a seperate /home partition. If you have that (and keep all your user data in /home) during the install choose 'install on existing partitions' and 'format /' (not format /home. You need to know the partition names (hdaX or hdbX or whatevert as the installer doesn't say / or /home :) ). Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 So, if install this way, i will loose nothing, won't i ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppetto Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) Actually, you need to install the latest Python Libraries and recompile sukeramba from the source package. It appears the binary version of superkaramba you're running was not compiled with the python version currently on your PC. Download libpython and any dependancies (urpmi) then recompile superkaramba from the sourcepackage. Delete the liquidweather .theme file in your./kde superkaramba directory and then reload the LW theme once you get superkaramba installed and running. Then the eye candy should magically return.
