jlc Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I did that but it doesn't have my version besides that snapshot which i tried and it didn't work I'm not sure what you are saying? did you try? [root@morpheus# urpmi gtk2-devel To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (10 MB): libatk1.0_0-devel-1.4.0-1mdk.i586 libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0-devel-2.2.4-1mdk.i586 libgtk+2.0_0-devel-2.2.4-1mdk.i586 libpango1.0_0-devel-1.2.5-2mdk.i586 Is this OK?

jlc Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 As rcxau has it pointed out on his site. You need to install at least one of the below displays/sensors before installing desklets itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote: You need to install at least one of the below displays/sensors before installing desklets itself. That did not work for me: # rpm -ivh gdesklets-weather-0.2-1mdk.noarch.rpm error: failed dependencies: gdesklets is needed by gdesklets-weather-0.2-1mdk And if I try to install gdesklets first: rpm -ivh gdesklets-0.21.1-1mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: gdesklets-display is needed by gdesklets-0.21.1-1mdk Bit of an infinite loop going on. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Try # rpm -ivh gdesklets-weather-0.2-1mdk.noarch.rpm gdesklets-0.21.1-1mdk.i586.rpm or urpmi gdesklets-weather-0.2-1mdk.noarch.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viewsonic Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Thanks Steve--the first line worked. Now I just have to look around and find out how to get it to work: # gdesklets Python 2.3 is recommended. Python 2.2 might result in unexpected behavior! Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gdesklets", line 4, in ? from main import HOME File "/usr/bin/../../usr/share/gdesklets/main/__init__.py", line 39, in ? import gnome.ui File "/home/goetz/tmp/gnome-python-root/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/__init__.py", line 10, in ? ImportError: No module named gobject I haven't looked around for answers yet--maybe update Python. Thanks again, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have PyGtk-0.6.11-4mdk.i586.rpm installed, which is from the cooker... is there a more recent version out there somewhere? any idea what else i should look for?? thanks. edit: I actually had pygtk-0.6.11-4 and also pygtk2.0-1.99.17-2mdk. I tried removing 0.6.11-4 and that didn't seem to help either :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peep Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 ok. This page says that I should: try setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the location where pygtk 2.0 is installed... Update: This should get you past the PyGTK error... but this does not guarantee that the stuff will work... I am really peeved off with python... dont like it.... maybe we need a pure c version of gDesklets... Update 2: Finally got it working.... Just a few notes: 1. Stick to the requirements as specified. python 2.3 pygtk, pyorbit and gnome-python 2.0 2. Upon installing pygtk, pyorbit and gnome-python ensure that python will find it... if its in a non standard path (like I have it in ... /usr/local/gnome2/lib/python2.3/site-packages/) then ensure that the PYTHONPATH environment variable points to this directory... 3. Installing the sensors is a two step process... i. run the Install.bin that usually comes with the sensors... ii. the sensors package should have a .display file... make note of this file... 4. Start the desklet program by typing "gdesklets &"... 5. Now if all is fine it will come up with a message like " this is the first time you are running gDesk.. blah blah "... 6. To show a sensor type gdesklets <complete path to the sensor ".display" file> & How do I set an environment variable? Seems like one of those basic things I should be able to do, but the only thing i could come up with was "putenv" but that didn't seem to work and i don't want to fuxor things up more than i have to :) anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

sud_crow Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 HI, first you should locate where pygtk 2.0 is installed wich i assume you do coz youd dindt ask. so here we go for the variable: in command line: $ export PYTHONPATH="the/location/to/pygtk2" thats a temp way, so if you log out it will be lost, to have it at start time, copy that line to your ~/.bashrc file. just in case, you could use "locate pygtk" to find where it is, also, as root run updatedb before doing this, just in case! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
