slackware-14.2 -> last slackware-current upgrade python VTE issue
Hi there,
I use slackware-current (64bits - no multilib ) and update it every once in the while. since the latest update, terminator terminal refuses to start due to this error: "you need to install python bindings for libvte" Okay.. I first supposed that current is supposed to be the bleeding edge and my terminator version was a bit off ( 0.97 while 1.91 is out there) After terminator update => still the same error. So got curious about vte/libvte but not much help on the net.. except that python should be able to import vte module. On a fresh 14.2 install with latest 14.2 updates vte is able to load fine Code:
root@ws1:~# Code:
[ upgrade ] - python-2.7.13-x86_64-2_slack14.2 --> python-2.7.13-x86_64-1 Code:
root@ws1:~# echo "import vte" | python Thanks for your help! |
vte-0.28.2 is the latest and ultimate release for gtk2
vte-0.44.3 need gtk+3 and it is already one old release, i have a personal package of the latest release (0.48.2) this version work here. |
ok i have tested your terminator version 0.97 need vte-0.28.2 because it contain a part of pygtk2 binding.
the vte-0.44.3 slackware-current doesn't contain this part. terminator-1.91 need vte3 version and python2-gobject (pygobject3) binding and gtk+3. |
Thanks for help !

I've tried to install vte3 from slackbuilds on current with terminator1.0 and 1.91 , no success. (tested with vte3-ng instead of vte3 also - same error) duno how I can give more "logs" or "trace" of the issue I'm facing :( edit: seen your edit: checking if python2-gobject (pygobject3) and gtk+3 are installed... |
you most probably need a vte2 SlackBuild: the resulting package is parallel-installable with slackware-current's vte.
|
ok i try to make a package of 1.91 version
|
i have make 1.91 version package and it work here with vte-0.44.3 slackware current package.
minimun needed, python-keybinder, pygobject3, pycairo,dbus-python. |
Sorry, it need psutils, also.

- terminator 1.91 ( based on the slackbuild with just the version bump) - python-keybinder / psutil from sbo - pygobject3, pycairo,dbus-python are included in base Slackware Terminator is able to start okay which is fine for me at the moment. I cannot tell where was the pbm in first place as that bassically what I did.. Maybe my packages installation at the very first place messed up smth and the vte issue wasn't the root cause. I will tag the title as solved even though there was no pbm after all ( sorry for the noise ) About the fact that python cannot import VTE, I think you have it right of course Code:
ok i have tested your terminator version 0.97 need vte-0.28.2 because it contain a part of pygtk2 binding. Code:
root@ws1:~/Downloads# cat /var/log/removed_packages/vte-0.28.2-x86_64-4-upgraded-2017-05-26,16:14:08 | grep pyth |
good news.
you have also ponce SlackBuild and slackonly for precompiled current package: http://cgit.ponce.cc/slackbuilds/ https://www.slackonly.com/pub/packages/ |

Thanks for the links, I'll keep them somewhere close for future needs ! The pbm wasn't at buildtime but at runtime, but at least precompiled package can save some headache ^_^ cheers ! |
