Description Allan Graves 2004-02-05 14:43:46 UTC

this bug would at first seem to be like bug: 33909

Unfortunately, 33909 seems to be related to a libssl, whereas the output of 
python -c "import bonobo.ui" is different for me, failing with a "RuntimeError: could not load typelib"


here is the python -v /usr/bin/gdesklets output:

Comment 1 Brendan Dahl 2004-02-09 19:54:02 UTC

I too recently had this problem here is what I did to fix it:
emerged

libbonobo
libbonoboui
pygtk
gnome-python
pyorbit

Not really sure which one fixed it but finally worked after pyorbit.

Comment 2 Allan Graves 2004-02-10 12:24:01 UTC

After reemerging all packages, I still have the same problem.

Comment 3 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Did you recently upgrade from python 2.2 to python 2.3 ? and if so, have you run python-updater ?

Comment 4 Allan Graves 2004-02-11 06:12:56 UTC

i was running 2.2, then upgraded to 2.3 when gdesklets failed to work.  I have run the python-updater script, and it claims everything is updated.

Comment 5 caolan 2004-04-01 08:14:16 UTC

I have the same problems with pygtk gnome scripts, and no real solution. But as a workaround, you can try and change the occurances in the .py file which breaks from

import gnome.ui

to

try:
    import gnome.ui
except:
    import gnome.ui

i.e. try to load gnome.ui twice, strange as it seems, this works for me :-) 

try:
    import bonobo.ui
except:
    import bonobo.ui
import gnome.ui
also works, bonobo.ui being the real offender

Comment 6 Allan Graves 2004-04-02 07:21:13 UTC

that worked!  thank you!
