[SOLVED] Gourmet Recipe Manager not starting in Ubuntu 10.10

leupi · 10-29-2010, 11:03 AM

I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed and used Gourmet Recipe Manager and all worked fine. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and after that GRM would not start. I tried to start if from the command line and got the following:

Code:

/usr/share/gourmet/gourmet/backends/db.py:294: SADeprecationWarning: The Binary type has been renamed to LargeBinary.
  Column('image',Binary(),**{}),

  Column('thumb',Binary(),**{}),

    raise TypeError("Boolean value of this clause is not defined")
TypeError: Boolean value of this clause is not defined

None of that really means much to me. Can anyone determine what the problem might be by those results?

Thanks

I would guess that when you upgraded not all the dependencies for gourmet got upgraded as well. Have you tried to install the gourmet package with aptitude? That would inform you of any dependency issues you may have.

I looked on google really quick and came across this bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317555

Can you try apt-get install gtkspell-python* and see what happens?

edit: also try installing any known python dependencies for sqlalchemy too

I tried using Synaptic Package Manager and I also used

Code:

sudo apt-get --purge remove gourmet

and reinstalled with

Code:

sudo apt-get install gourmet

I never got any errors doing either however it still won't start.

corp,

Not sure how literal I was supposed to take your response. I tried:

Code:

apt-get install gtkspell-python*

and got:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gtkspell-python*
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gtkspell-python*'

Thanks

Ok. I never worked with ubuntu, so I gave that a shot.

Problem seems to be possibly coming from sqlalchemy; Try using apt-get and searching what they have in the repos for dependencies and such...

I went ahead and installed the latest version from sourceforce and that seemed to have done the trick. As you mentioned, there is a bug in GRM. The sourceforge version seems to have that fixed.

Thanks for the help.
