gDesklets-0.3x - coming soon to a portage near you!

So will we be seeing an ebuild in portage soon now that pyorbit and gnome-python have been put in? I really miss my gdesklets.

Any news is good news.

Yep, the deps are in, sorry for my delay.

I've tested everything and the only thing I can reliably reproduce is the GoodWeather error - it looks non-workies with 0.3x.

*Ponder*, maybe we should include iWeather, (see http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/categories.php?func=gd_show_app&gd_app_id=165) although I'll miss my GoodWeather...

Need to find a solution to this, and _then_ I promise I'll do the repoman commit.

Okay, fixed. see http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7490&highlight=goodweather for reference.

Okay, any final issues?

And while I'm spamming the forum - here they all are running under 0.31.1 http://dev.gentoo.org/~obz/desklets-0.31.1.png

I have some problem with starterbar (version 0.31 gdesklets 0.31.1):
starterbar start (the display show only a black dot), but when I want to add a new starter (with right click on the dot) nothing happen

gdesklets log:

I can confirm the problem HexDEF6 is having as well. Same error log also.

Another error here. Just emerged the new gdesklet-core-0-.31 - ebuild with all dependencies, same error:

It looks like you need to run gdesklets-migration-tool once to get the starter bar working. Once I ran that I was able to get the starter bar to work.

Just startup a terminal and type in the command. I had to reset all my displays afterwords.

I can't say I saw anything suggesting that we run the migration tool, but I can't say I can notice those messages very easily when the build text goes flying by when emerging stuff in.

Anyway, everything I have is running well. I really like the new setup. It's a lot easier to manage the displays now. Thanks to Obz for getting this updated. I was sorely missing my desklets.

Now off to see if I can break some more stuff with corner-xmms.

ditto problem. Here's my traceback:

Although the migration-tool ran properly, it didn't fix the problem.

Here's the traceback when running 'gdesklets shell'

Do your logfiles produce anything useful?

Corax · Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2004 4:23 pm Post subject:

Nope, I'm sorry. Neither the kernel-logs nor my fluxbox-logfile list anything useful on this.

What about the gDesklets log files in ~/.gdesklets ?

silentplummet · n00b Joined: 14 Jun 2004 Posts: 58

The log files in ~/.gdesklets? Hahaha!

Huh I upgraded gdesklets and it's not loading any display :/ Errors (given with a popup window) are either about missing gtkhtml2 or no attribute 'create'. I'll emerge gtkhtml and see what happens.

edit: as expected, it didn't do anything. Next is emerge =python-2.2

edit2: Python 2.2.x didn't help but emerging again the newest version and then running emerge libgtkhtml glut pyopengl gtkglarea pygtk gnome-python gdesklets-core solved all the problems. If you can't add your desklets, try it.

I have the same 'str' error that others have.

ok, so I finally got gdesklets to work.. with version 0.30

I downloaded the archive from the gdesklets website, compiled it with --prefix=/usr

Be sure to erase everything in /usr/share/gdesklets, /usr/bin/gdesklets*, ~/.gdesklets and ~/.gconf/apps/gdesklets.

Now, gdesklets shell works.
I tried to do the same with 0.32 beta, and it does not work at all, still crashing, but with no verbose output and no log.

at least starterbar seems to work with the latest gdesklets.
0.31.1 is out now!
