Slackware 12 screenlets problem

Ravendark · 08-03-2008, 09:42 PM

hi all,

I am running slack 12 and tried to install screenlets.

when running screenlets I get this message:

Code:

No module RSVG , graphics will not be so good
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 28, in <module>
    import screenlets
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/screenlets/__init__.py", line 51, in <module>
    from options import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/screenlets/options.py", line 30, in <module>
    import utils
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/screenlets/utils.py", line 16, in <module>
    import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus

I searched to find a solution but I found nothing relevant for slackware.

Could anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance,
George.

The rsvg python bindings come from 'gnome-python-desktop' and the dbus bindings are from 'dbus-python'. What's making it bomb is the lack of dbus-python. Your running a version of Slackware that's showing it's age.

I have dbus-python installed and I even tried to upgrade to the latest version but I got the same thing...

As for shack 12, I have it installed on my laptop for some months now, I tried 12.1 but gnome-power-manager was not working properly, I couldn't suspend my FS Amilo 1650, thats why I switched back to 12 again...

Well, you must have a pre-built dbus-python package installed that was meant for a newer Slackware version or you compiled it yourself and was installed wrong.

It's clearly not finding a dbus python module. I'm not sure whether your running 10.2 or 12.0 so it's hard for me to give any specific advice.

10.2 doesn't ship with the dbus or dbus-python packages and 12.0 doesn't ship with dbus-python.
