Anyone else having trouble with catfish 1.2.2 on Slackware 14.1?
 

Hello,

I just installed catfish 1.2.2 (slackbuilds.org). All deps are installed, and catfish compiled without any problems/errors.

But when i try to start i´ll get this:

(catfish.py:9269): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:67:17: Theming engine 'unico' not found

Anyone else getting this?

Have you installed the deps?
pexpect, pyxdg, pygobject3

No, but I am running catfish 1.2.2 on an English-language computer (with current). Would something has gone wrong with language/UTF/zone (during compilation) ????

Yes, all dependencies are installed. Rebuild it today to see if there are any errors/warings about language setting stuff, but none there. I might try an older version and see if i get the same issue.

thx,

I have been testing building catfish from version 1.0.3 to 1.2.2

Version 1.2.2, 1.2.1 and 1.2.0 have all the same issues that i have mentioned above, when trying to start catfish.

For all these version i get only these warnings while building the package:

Checking module dependencies...
No protocol specified

** (build.py:18101): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
No module named zeitgeist
...Warning: The optional module zeitgeist is missing.
...OK

However when i build 1.0.3 i got the same warnings than with the newer versions but now when i try to start catfish (version 1.0.3) i get this:

(catfish.py:19112): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:67:17: Theming engine 'unico' not found

(catfish.py:19112): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid input string

(catfish.py:19112): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid input string
/usr/bin/catfish: Zeile 2: 19112 Speicherzugriffsfehler python /usr/share/catfish/bin/catfish.py "$@"

I have double checked all dependencies.

Any ideas?

Thx,

The error with not being able to open X display is usually because you're trying to start an X app either remotely or as another user (typically root). Does it seem like the rest of the build process finishes without errors?

Yep, the rest of the build process finishes without problems/errors.

Does anyone have a copy and slackbuild for 1.2.2?

Where is the 1.2.2 version coming from? The latest release on SBo is 0.3.2 and the latest release of catfish is 0.4.0.1.

Here is the motherload.

https://launchpad.net/catfish-search/+download

Got it working with not trouble. Thanks

Ah, I didn't realize it was moved. It might be worth emailing the SlackBuild maintainer to see if he is aware. He has the site I linked to as the homepage rather than launchpad.net's.

Although, based on that latest entry on the site, it seems that 0.3.2 is the last version using gtk+2, and the newer versions rely on gtk+3. It could be the maintainer is not wanting to add a gtk+3 dependency to catfish, but that is just speculation on my part. He could just not be aware that such newer versions are available.

Hi, I have an update to 1.4.2 ready to submit as soon as submissions are open again. I've kept the old homepage the same as it has all the relevant info + pics.

Cheers

I had similar troubles with Catfish some time ago. This motivated me to check out Recoll, which works so much better I never bothered to look back.

Cheers,

Niki

Is it possible to get a copy, or do I have to wait on SBo?
