[SOLVED] WT* -> Live slack:xfce4 makeurself: bluetooth not working.

BW-userx · 04-23-2019, 12:54 PM

Ok, I am in xfce4 live w/persistence right now. I got a BT Mouse. no blueman-applet

Code:

bob@darkstars:~$ blueman-applet
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/blueman-applet", line 16, in <module>
    gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
AttributeError: module 'gi' has no attribute 'require_version'

pkgs

Code:

bob@darkstars:~$ ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/gtk*
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/gtk+2-2.24.32-x86_64-2
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/gtk+3-3.24.8-x86_64-1
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/gtk-xfce-engine-2.10.1-x86_64-3
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/gtkmm3-3.24.1-x86_64-1
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/gtkspell-2.0.16-x86_64-4

what's missing, what am I missing?
If I need to rebuild this, that is not an issue.

I commented out two lines in /usr/bin/blueman-applet ln 16,17, and am now getting this..

Code:

bob@darkstars:/etc/rc.d$ ps -ae | grep blue
 3183 pts/1    00:00:00 bluetoothd
bob@darkstars:/etc/rc.d$ blueman-applet

    from gi.repository import Gtk

what is gi.repository, and where do I get it, put it in and shake it all around?

BW-userx · 04-24-2019, 08:47 AM

added python3-gi, redoing ....

BW-userx · 04-24-2019, 09:35 AM

Crap not working..

Code:

bob@darkstars:~$ ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/pyth*
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/python-2.7.16-x86_64-2
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/python-ply-3.11-x86_64-1
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/python3-3.7.3-x86_64-2

still missing the gi part needed to get blueman-applet to work....

It should be in the pygobject3 package.

You do know the difference between a package name ending with "3" and a name not ending in "3"...? You missed one.

Well look at it this way - if you find out the list of packages that were missing, I could add them to the XFCE Live package list (provided the total ISO size stays below 700 MB, i.e. CDROM size).

I was thinking of you when I thought about just that.

It might be faster if I just installed VBox and fired them up in there instead of iso2usb every time. That should cut down on the time consumption some.

I am in it running e16 , just no BT.

BW-userx · 04-24-2019, 02:24 PM

pygobject3

I did have it in a Home made list file I added to the script, it just must have missed it. trying again.

BW-userx · 04-24-2019, 04:51 PM

build showed adding pygobject3, but it is not in here, so I mounted laptop hdd manually installed it.
I put it in the min.lst under python.

Code:

bob@darkstars:/media/hd0/var/cache/liveslak/Slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64/l$ sudo installpkg pygobject3-3.32.1-x86_64-1.txz

next error to work on

Code:

bob@darkstars:~$ blueman-applet

    from . import _gi

added

cli blueman-applet worked. logging out and in to see if it still works.

yep...

why the build did not add pygobject3, I do not know. I suspect maybe because it is installing the pygobject and that is over riding it. perhaps.

It needs two files added.

pygobject3
gobject-introspection

See post above.

@Alien Bob

added pygobject3 , gobject-introspection to the x_base.lst alphanumerically and it worked. That is the size it gets.

so I'll leave the rest up to you to tweak it or leave it as is. Maybe add a note to user about them if they actually want/need bluetooth, then it is as easy as adding them in themselves, as I did.
