Guest greyskyzen Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) I wish I had more information than this, or could do more to try to fix it but I wouldn't even know where to begin, so I'm hoping someone else will. I'm using Mandrivalinux 2005, and whenever I open PySoulSeek from the Menu, it starts to open, and then just closes itself. So...any ideas?

mystified Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 You need to try running it from command line and then posting the output here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Not really fixing the problem, but have you tried Nicotine? It's an excellent Soulseek client. It's Python too though, so if you have problems with Python, then it'll probably be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyskyzen Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Before you think anything, yes, yes I am a severe Linux n00b. That aside... How do I run it from command line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Before you think anything, yes, yes I am a severe Linux n00b. That aside... How do I run it from command line? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Open a shell (or terminal, konsole in KDE or just click on a monitor icon). That should bring up a command prompt. Type in the program name, pypanel in this case, press ENTER and the program should start or print out some error messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyskyzen Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Alright, I got it. My version of Python is apparently outdated and the version I need isn't available through RPMDrake, so I took solarian's advice and tried Nicotine, and it gave me no problems (so far =P). Thanks again, guys! Wihtout this place I'd have gone back to Windows by now. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Remember that you need to update your urpmi database from time to time, so in your search you see the actual results, not packages that were there 3 months ago. Oh, and have you set all the sources through easy-urpmi? It's just - there always seems to be a recent Python version available (because so much people use it). And one more tip: If you can't find the rpm you need through urpmi, try one of the rpm sites out there. My fav is http://rpm.pbone.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
