Pypanel not displaying

I'm trying to use pypanel with Openbox3 but get the following error messages.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 948, in ?
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,"")
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 381, in setlocal
return _setlocale(catory, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

Looks like pypanel doesnot know anything ablut my locale?

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

JTD

Re: Pypanel not displaying

uncomment your locale in /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen as root

Thanks, that helped as it was commented out.
However, pypanel still refused to load so ended up removing it and installing fbpanel which worked right away.

Thanks again.

No it wasnot, but similar.  Sorry, I didnot write down the error message as I was getting frustrated and when fbpanel worked right away, I nuked pypanel.

But thanks for your help though.

Re: Pypanel not displaying

Hi,

I'm having the same problem:

/usr/bin/pypanel:892: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module ppmodule: This Python has API version 1013, module ppmodule has version 1012.
  from ppmodule import ppinit, ppshade, ppicon, ppfont, ppfontsize, ppclear
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 948, in <module>
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 478, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

I already generated the locales that i'm using:
en_US.UTF-8    UTF-8
en_US    ISO-8859-1
pt_PT.UTF-8    UTF-8
pt_PT    ISO-8859-1
pt_PT@euro    ISO-8859-15

But I'm still getting the same error. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Forty

Re: Pypanel not displaying

I've had this error before, you need to rebuild the pypanel package, you don't need to change anything though, just grab the PKGBUILD from ABS and rebuild it.

Re: Pypanel not displaying

you could also try bmpanel (the new fbpanel)...
