[SOLVED] Bleachbit does not launch...

Robert.Thompson · 06-30-2011, 08:05 AM

Hello:

I used sbopkg to install Bleachbit.

It does not launch from the 'system' menu - the small icon just bounces and then nothing happens. (user or root)

When I launch it from a terminal, as root, I get the following output:

Code:

bash-4.1# bleachbit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bleachbit", line 41, in <module>
    import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
bash-4.1#

I searched sbopk for 'gtk' but there are a millon hits.

It seems that I have these gtk packages installed:

Code:

gtk+-1.2.10-i486-5
gtk+2-2.24.4-i486-1
gtkmm-2.24.0-i486-1_SBo

Does anyone know what I need to do to get Bleachbit to launch?

Thanks,

I believe you need pygtk

Code:

[root@nfluxos guest]# slackpkg search py

Here is the code that seems to be not working:

Code:

if 1 == len(sys.argv):
    import gtk
    import bleachbit.GUI
    gui = bleachbit.GUI.GUI()
    gtk.main()
else:
    import bleachbit.CLI
    bleachbit.CLI.process_cmd_line()

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Works fine here on pure 64bit and 32bit.

You can try -

Code:

keith@disturbed1:~$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Nov 27 2010, 17:27:14) 
[GCC 4.5.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
>>> gtk
<module 'gtk' from '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.pyc'>
>>> exit()
keith@disturbed1:~$

I'd check your python installation(s).

I get this:

How do I check my python installation(s)?

It seems you're missing the files installed by the pygtk package. Try reinstalling pygtk:

Code:

upgradepkg --reinstall pygtk-2.16.0-i486-1.txz

That's the package for Slackware 13.1.

disturbed1 · 06-30-2011, 01:15 PM

or - slackpkg reinstall pygtk

But, it looks like you have multiple, (or)incorrect, (or)downgraded python(s).
Python 2.5.6 (r256:88840, May 30 2011, 20:25:27)

Figure out why you have an old version of Python, and fix this

That's right! For Slack13.1 it should be python-2.6.4.

Hello:

Yesterday, when I was having trouble installing HandBreak, AlienBob suggested that my python was not well.

So, is it possible to:

Get rid of my existing python packages
Install new python packages

Where do I get the proper python package(s). When I look using sbopkg, there are many, many choices - I have no idea which one to install.

I have never seen anything like python-2... in the sbopkg list.

I tried the 'reinstall' suggested above but bleachbit still won't launch.

If my python is broken, how can I fix it or replace it?

Thanks for any help on this,

For Slackware 13.1, these are the python (and related) packages:

python-2.6.4
pyrex-0.9.8.5
dbus-python-0.83.1
notify-python-0.1.1
pygtk-2.16.0
pygobject-2.20.0
pycups-1.9.48
pycairo-1.8.8

The python-2.6.4 in in the d series, the rest are in the l series. Probably you won't need to reinstall them all, only python and pygtk. But do check them just in case.

Remove your old python packages using removepkg. If you have your Slackware DVD handy, just change to slackware/d and/or slackware/l and use installpkg. You can also use slackpkg.

How did you install Python 2.5.x?
Did you make install or did you use installpkg?

Quote:

I used sbopkg to get a new python

SlackBuilds.org does not have Python 2.5, there is a Python3, so 2.5.x came from some where else.

Python is an official Slackware package.

sbopkg - for 3rd party user maintained, unofficial, unsupported packages.
slackpkg - for official, supported, and upstream maintained Slackware packages.

removepkg is how you remove packages installed with pkgtools (installpkg, upgradepkg).

You can find out your installed packages by grepping /var/log/packages -

Code:

ls /var/log/packages/ |grep python
MySQL-python-1.2.3-x86_64-1_SBo
dbus-python-0.83.1-x86_64-1
notify-python-0.1.1-x86_64-1
python-2.6.6-x86_64-1

@Diantre Robert.Thompson is using 13.37. Most likely he attempted to install Python 2.5.x to get gmail-backup to work

I see. I assumed he's using 13.1 because it says so in his user information... Sorry about that.

I'm sorry about that!

I never thought to change it to 13.37 when I switched.

And I was never able to get Gmail Backup to work so I left it on the cutting-room floor - I guess I have really screwed my system up.

It seems that I have the correct python installed:

Code:

bash-4.1# slackpkg search py

python-pmw-1.3.2-i486-3_SBo
bash-4.1#

Right or wrong?

Perhaps I've broken it?

disturbed1 · 06-30-2011, 04:32 PM

Maybe not

How did you install the other python (2.5.x)?
What do you have in /usr/lib for python?
/usr/lib/python2.6
/usr/lib/python2.5 ?????

You might be able to do a manual removal, then reninstall the original packages.

To manually remove python only as a last resort, and only if the directories are listed correctly below -

Code:

rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.5
rm -rf /usr/include/python2.5
rm -rf /usr/doc/python-2.5*
rm /usr/bin/python2.5*

You could also a (s/m)locate for other files.

Then reinstall python from Diantre's list-

Code:

slackpkg reinstall python pyrex pygtk pygobject pycups pycairo PyQt
