Re: [Announce] Enhanced BusyBox package
 
IDon't,

I'm experiencing something that looks like some bug in busybox-power_1.19.3power2. But it is strange I have heard no one else about it.
Yesterday I noticed Python apps started losing their skin/buttons.

I traced it down to this:
For some reason, TMPDIR is not set (or unset) in the user shell (it is still set in the root shell).
Because it is not set, python starts looking in /tmp for the sapwood-engine entry (/tmp/sapwood-:0.0), but is is running in /var/tmp. First exporting TMPDIR to /var/tmp before starting solves it for that session.

When I reverted back to busybox-power_1.19.3power1, TMPDIR was set again. Upgraded to busybox-power_1.19.3power2 again, and TMPDIR was gone.
Setting the export in /etc/profile or ~/.profile does not work. The problem does not occur in the bash shell.

Edit: the issue is visable then a sh shell is opened in a existing shell. TMPDIR is not passed on to the next shell.

I noticed this with recaller. I simply 'apt-get purge recaller', rebooted then installed again.

Currently I am running BB-P 1.19v2 with no issues to python programs.

removing(purge) then re-installed didn't help....still no skin/button on theme customizer,advanced clock plugin,CSSU features configuration, recaller & etc....

I don't have recaller installed. It is not just one program, it's every program based on python. Vi_, what does a "echo $TMPDIR" give you in a sh usershell?

All python based programs. Your are facing the same problem.

Could you start an sh shell (x-terminal) as user and do
Code:
echo $TMPDIR
Big chance it will return an empty value...

/var/tmp

In this case it should be okay. but did you test correctly?
You must use the sh shell and be user.

echo $0
must return: sh
id
must return: uid=29999(user) gid=29999(users) groups=20(dialout),29(audio),44(video),670(pulse-access),29999(users)

Then do you still get /var/tmp as a value for TMPDIR?

On mine, the initial shell (from running X Terminal or via ssh) reports "-sh" as $0 and has TMPDIR set to /var/tmp. Running "sh" to start a new shell reports "sh" as $0 and has no TMPDIR set though.
