Re: cant load pypanel

I've been getting the same errors,  since the latest upgrade pypanel just stopped working.

Re: cant load pypanel

Re: cant load pypanel

So is Pypanel obsolete now? Should I use another panel or is there a way to get pypanel working again?

Re: cant load pypanel

pacman -S python24 should do it.

Has worked with my other apps that didn't like python 2.5 but not sure about pypanel

PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.

Re: cant load pypanel

python2.4 /usr/bin/pypanel

Why pypanel won't work with 2.5?

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

There was probably a change in 2.5 with xlib for python or something and since pypanel is no longer actively developed problems are likely to arise.

Re: cant load pypanel

Maybe it's just a question of rebuilding python-xlib and pypanel...

nope, trust me I tried just about everything. In the end, I commented out the testing repositories in pacman.conf, removed python24, manually updated all software that was in testing, then re-installed python-xlib and pypanel.

Re: cant load pypanel

You can also use python 2.5 and 2.4. Just install python24 and start pypanel with "python2.4 /usr/bin/pypanel".

Re: cant load pypanel

Works fine for me with python-2.5 & python-xlib-0.12.

How would I write that in .xinitrc ?

Re: cant load pypanel

I'm having problems after installing python24.

python2.4 /usr/bin/pypanel gives the following (as both regular and root user):

# python2.4 /usr/bin/pypanel 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 892, in ?
    from ppmodule import ppinit, ppshade, ppicon, ppfont, ppfontsize, ppclear
ImportError: No module named ppmodule

I've googled the last line and nothing turns up. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: cant load pypanel

This is a problem with Python-Xlib. Under certain conditions, the receive buffer size isn't large enough. To fix it, open the following file:

/usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py

and change line 530

FROM:

recv = self.socket.recv(2048)

TO:

recv = self.socket.recv(4096)

4096 should be large enough ..

Re: cant load pypanel

I found a fix for the original problem in the xlib bug tracker http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=110350
The new xauth.py got pypanel working for me in 2.5 with xlib 0.13
