trouble installing nicotine
 

H,

i found such a nice green install arrow when i searched on maemo.org for nicotine, downloaded the catalogue and then got an error message, missing files. is the installation file corrupted? i thought that the green arrow actually means newbie friendly :-(
suggestions would be appreciated,
thanks.

Hi.

Please first install the base repository: http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/installation.html

These problems will end with the next OS version.


Cheers.

...where nothing will be compatible, since the GTK underwent a complete overhaul?

I wonder how much will work on Day One of the OS2008 release? Unless there's that many developers who downloaded the Chinook SDK, should we not expect much on the first day? :)

Thanks, I installed it.

Next problem :D

When I start the nicotine application and click on file the fields "connect" and "disconnect" are not clickable, they are grey. Any idea why ? This seems strange to me.

First, you have write your user and password and choose "Incomplete file directory" and "Download directory". Then you can connect to server.

Could you run it from the terminal app?
Write Nicotine, and hit enter. And then copy the error here, please.

I tested it in OS2008 beta and it worked, and in the emulator it works too.

forgive my ignorance...i have xterminal installed, but never used it before.
i enter 'nicotine' and i do not see any 'enter' ??? sorry im dumb hah.

Import error: No modules named cairo :confused:

Re: trouble installing nicotine
 

tommie, no problem. With 'hit enter' I wanted to say hit the enter/return key in the virtual keyboard, so the command is executed.

Thanks, Lupin3d.
It can be a problem with python in general, since Nicotine doesn't use the cairo module therefore it doesn't import that module.

Could you write the complete error?

Traceback (most recent call last):

Re: trouble installing nicotine
 

yerga thank you for your help and patience
it appears i have deeper issues/problems.
nothing works in x terminal.
i can type in anything, but nothing happens there.
i even tried the help command..nothing happened
i tried help and 'help' (with the '')
i also closed it and reopened it and typen in app names that do work ok.nothing happens in x terminal

Re: trouble installing nicotine
 

Ok, thanks.
It seems the gtk module is compiled with cairo support, so when importing the gtk module it needs the cairo module.
But the python2.5-cairo module isn't dependent of python2.5-gtk2 module.
Nicotine only have python2.5-gtk2 module as dependence, so it doesn't run.

If you install python2.5-runtime from the application manager, this error possibly won't happen, because python2.5-runtime will install python2.5-cairo.

I will update nicotine in order this problem doesn't happen.
