lunlun · 12-11-2009, 01:18 AM

Hi recently I started using a program called screenlets,

i followed instructions on this site, to have google gadget on my desktop

http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/0...th-screenlets/

However when trying to run my google gadget, the following error occured.

Code:

SQLite version error


The application has been updated, but your version of SQLite is too old and the application cannot run.

here is my SQLite version

Code:

min@des:~$ sqlite3
SQLite version 3.6.16
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite>

Thanks for your help

that's not a really old version, are you sure that you have only one version of sqlite on you system. check the package manager

hmm the thing is ubuntu came with sqlite2 (version 2.xx)

so wut i did was I installed sqlite3 with apt-get.

and then i tried running the google screenlet with both

sqlite2 and sqlite3 on the same system, it didn't work.

So i removed sqlite2

now i only have sqlite3 on my system and it still wont work.

Thanks for ur reply.

Having both sqlite "2" and 3 at the same time :
.. they use different file names .. so no problems.
E.g. 2.8.17 and 3.6.21 together : no conflicts.

The missing package = ' libsqlite3-dev '

Which screenlets ? screenlets-0.1.2.tar.bz2 ?
From ? ?
https://launchpad.net/screenlets

wget http://launchpad.net/screenlets/trun...-0.1.2.tar.bz2 ? ?

And which Ubuntu are you using ?

Thanks,

I am running ubuntu 9.10

I installed screenlets 0.1.2-7 by using the Ubuntu Software Centre

Installing screenlets-0.1.2 on Ubuntu 9.10 .

Fetch the screenlets-0.1.2.tar.bz2 with 'wget' from
http://launchpad.net/screenlets/trun...-0.1.2.tar.bz2
tar xvf screenlets-0.1.2.tar.bz2
cd screenlets
python setup.py build
.. To find out what is missing, for building it : nothing.
sudo make install
.....
Running screenlets : It asks for 'wnck' ( = wnck.py ).
Install 'python-wnck' with Synaptic.
.. And 'screenlets' works.

Reinstalled screenlets following your procedure

however, when I tried to add the, for example google calendar web widget,

I get the following in my console

Code:

Launch gg
Launching Screenlet from: /home/mini/.screenlets/gg/ggScreenlet.py
Logging output goes to: $HOME/.config/Screenlets/ggScreenlet.log
REGISTER screenlet: ggScreenlet
True
Aborted (core dumped)
Quit!

I get the following in the log file

Code:

CachingBackend: Loading instances from cache
Found a running session of gg, adding new instance by service.
Error in screenlets.services.get_service_by_name: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Ser

Thanks for the help

1) Does the current installed widgets work ?
All mine displays OK.

2) "google calendar web widget" :
If you have a question about adding a widget,
please tell the exact file name.
And provide a direct link to where, you got it.

I do not use the application, so you will have to tell,
in details, what you are doing.
Then I will try the same, and may be find a solution.
