Arch Linux

Still works here. Is that the complete output you get?

Do you have a different version of one of its dependencies installed (e.g. libwebkit) ?

Yes, there is no more. The next line is my shell prompt.

This is a list of all dependencies listed in pacman -Qi miro with the version numbers I have installed.

extra/dbus-python 0.83.1-2 [installed]
extra/pyrex 0.9.9-2 [installed]
extra/pygtk 2.22.0-3 [installed]
extra/gstreamer0.10 0.10.32-1 [installed]
extra/python2-gconf 2.28.1-7 [installed]
extra/python-pysqlite 2.6.0-2 [installed]
extra/pywebkitgtk 1.1.7-4
extra/shared-mime-info 0.90-1 [installed]
extra/desktop-file-utils 0.18-1 [installed]
extra/hicolor-icon-theme 0.12-1 [installed]
extra/gstreamer0.10-python 0.10.21-1 [installed]
extra/python-notify 0.1.1-8 [installed]
extra/libtorrent-rasterbar 0.15.5-1 [installed]
extra/gstreamer0.10-base-plugins 0.10.32-2 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) [installed]
extra/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins 0.10.27-2 (gstreamer0.10-plugins) [installed]
community/python-pycurl 7.19.0-5 [installed]

And not directly listed in the dependencies:
extra/libwebkit 1.2.7-1 [installed]

Can you please try to recompile using ABS (it should only take a few minutes max to compile)?

If it still fails I need to get the find my dust covered old laptop which has the only i686 install I have readily available (but this may take a few days).

It is now recompiled thanks to the well documented abs wikipage. But I get the same error and output as before.

Actually, there should be lines above. The complete error should look like this:


ImportError on miro.plat.frontends.widgets: libwebkit-1.0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ImportError on miro.frontends.widgets: libwebkit-1.0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 292, in <module>

startup(props_to_set)
File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 193, in startup
raise ValueError("Cannot load frontend: %s" % frontend)
ValueError: Cannot load frontend: widgets

Which, in my case is the consequence of using :

$ pacman -Q | grep webkit
libwebkit 1.3.13-1
libwebkit3 1.3.13-1
pywebkitgtk 1.1.7-4
webkit-sharp 0.3-1

This also affects rhythmbox

I don't lie, there are just the following lines:
--8<----
➜ ~ miro
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 292, in <module>
startapp()
File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 249, in startapp
startup(props_to_set)
File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 193, in startup
raise ValueError("Cannot load frontend: %s" % frontend)
ValueError: Cannot load frontend: widgets
➜ ~
--8<----

Rhythmbox is working well for me.

I didn't say you lied.

Does the problem persist with libwebkit 1.4?

Yes, it is the same output.

installed versions:
$ pacman -Q | grep webkit
kwebkitpart 1.1-1
libwebkit 1.4.0-1
libwebkit3 1.4.0-1
pywebkitgtk-svn 161-1

Tough cookie. I have just installed miro from the repositories and I cannot reproduce this: http://www.pastebin.ca/2054631 The only other website mentioning this particular bug is here https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 and it marks the bug as WORKSFORME.

I can only suggest removing any python-related svn packages, deleting ~/.miro and reinstalling all miro dependencies & miro itself from the repositories using an up-to-date mirror.

please try 4.0.1.1

I am currently not at home.
Will try this in two weeks...

so what is the status, can I close this?
