flarefox Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I posted this on the beryl forums and they said it was something about the compiling setup in mandriva. Does anyone know what I should do? I am trying to install the svn beryl and it continuously crashes. It says complains about vtables in some of the plugins and then crashes. After I removed those plugins, it simply crashes upon load. Here's the exact information: [dee@DeePC beryl_rpm]$ kwin: Fatal IO error: client killed ************************************************************** * Beryl system compatiblity check * ************************************************************** Detected xserver : NVIDIA Checking Display :0.0 ...

It even does this when I install the RPMs of the newer beryl, so there's definitely something in my system that is causing it. Anyone here install beryl 1.999 or 2.0 and want to tell me what you did or updated to install it ok? ~Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 From what I have read it is better to install Beryl from urpmi than with singular rpms or compiling. I would scrap that installation and use the Mandriva package manager to try and install it, once repositories have been configured correctly (Easy-Urpmi).

I get the same error with that only it is with every plugin instead of just the unsupported ones. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 You can find a working beryl (I briefly tested it a while back) in the SoS contrib: http://seerofsouls.com/2007.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarefox Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 You can find a working beryl (I briefly tested it a while back) in the SoS contrib:http://seerofsouls.com/2007.html Thanks! Everything works there except beryl-settings. The settings manager crashes on load and says: [dee@DeePC ~]$ beryl-settings Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 2, in <module> import berylsettings ImportError: No module named berylsettings I installed berylsettings so I'm not sure what could cause that... ~Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 That looks like you need to update your python libs? Did you use 'all' of the SoS repos when you installed Beryl? If you didn't you missed some updates for it. If you did and you have this problem, there's a closed bug here with a fix for you to use: http://bugs.beryl-project.org/ticket/815 I know it's a Ubuntu bug, but the fix should work for you.

I went there and after following their steps I get this error instead: /usr/bin/beryl-settings:2: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module berylsettings: This Python has API version 1013, module berylsettings has version 1012. import berylsettings Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/beryl-settings", line 3, in <module> import gtk ImportError: No module named gtk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing here that you don't have python2.5 installed? If not, and you have changed the first line of /usr/bin/beryl-settings from: #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python2.5 change it to: #!/usr/bin/env python2.4 and try again. Alternatively, you could leave it as: #!/usr/bin/env python and try to open it with: python2.4 /usr/bin/beryl-settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarefox Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 :( I'll wait for an update or something. I can edit the text file. I did an rpm search on pbone.net and I couldn't find a version of python-base 2.4 or python2.4 to download. Everything is 2.5 now it seems. I don't have 2.4 installed. Only 2.5. I'll just wait until something new is up I think. Thanks for your help! ~Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
