Installing adeskbar (git)

Hi iam new here
I tried to install adeskbar from git by resolving the depedencies found in the README. after that i run sudo install.sh and run adeskbar but i get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/adeskbar", line 64, in <module>
    import adesk.bar
  File "/usr/share/adeskbar/adesk/bar.py", line 255
    print 'CONFIG ---------------------------------------------'
                                                               ^

Re: Installing adeskbar (git)

First of all, welcome to Arch Linux.

Adeskbar is using python2 syntax, but Arch uses python3 as default. Install the AUR package, it fixes this issue.

(If you don't know how to install an AUR package, see the wiki page.)

Who were you Zapman?

What did you see??

PS: Well, it’s a quite obvious up, right, but if anybody has the solution to Zapman’s problem (which I have to, running adeskbar under Openbox on a usual gnomised arch), it would be great!

Re: Installing adeskbar (git)

The same thing happened to me after a recent update. Inside /etc/xdg/menus/ there is a file called gnome-applications.menu so as a temporary fix I tried:

sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

I can now access the adeskbar preferences menu.
