Sorry about the above post...

Hey,

today I updated my pidgin applet, now it doesn't start anymore. I have CD 2.4.0.2 and I installed the corresponding applet. It worked with the pidgin applet 1.0, but I can't install the old version anymore (error message saying something like "sorry didn't work").

When I run CD in a terminal:

Cairo-Dock version: 2.4.0.2
Compiled date: Nov 6 2011 14:24:45
Running with OpenGL: 1

I read some posts about this error no CDApplet, but it didn't really help me. Also some where in French, that did not make it easier

I can't update to CD 3.0, as 2.4 is the latest version in my package manager.

I am using Mageia 2 with KDE 4.8 and kwin. Any suggestions?

Hello,

It seems CDApplet has noot been installed correctly.
Firstly, it can be interesting to report this bug to the maintainer of Cairo-Dock packages

Then I think you can install it manually:

Download these three files in a directory: 1, 2 and 3
Open a shell in this directory and launch these commands:
$ python setup.py -q build ## as user
# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr ## as root

I think that should be ok now

Hey,

thanks for your answer!
Although I had an error, it did work. Pidgin is running now

warning: build_py: byte-compiling is disabled, skipping.

Where can I report the bug?

Where can I report the bug?

I think it's explained there: http://www.mageia.org/en/support/report-a-bug/

You can say that CDApplet is not installed: it should be installed in Python's module directory if python is available during the compilation. (and you can also say that a new stable version is available)

Ok, I thought it's a CD bug, therefore I should report it somewhere here on the page.
Thanks for your detailed information, I will report the bug along with your information! Keep up the good work!

Hi there,

just got back to this one. I currently maintain the cairo-dock packages for Mageia, and it seems the python module for CDApplet plugin is not installed during package build, but to mee this seems more like a problem with the build process, as you try to directly install CDApplet.py into the absokkute path /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages which is not possible during package building, as everything is only installed below a buildroot directory (installed via make install DESTDIR=/path/to/buildroot) not into the actual filesystem starting with /

See:

running install_lib
copying build/lib/CDApplet.py -> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
error: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/CDApplet.py: Permission denied

This happens at least for another module:

running cd "/home/doktor5000/MGA/2/cairo-dock-plugins/BUILD/cairo-dock-plugins-2.4.0~2/build/Dbus/interfaces/python" && /usr/bin/python setup.py install --prefix=/usr 2>&1
running install
running build
running build_py
warning: build_py: byte-compiling is disabled, skipping.

running install_lib
copying build/lib/CDApplet.py -> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
error: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/CDApplet.py: Permission denied

running cd "/home/doktor5000/MGA/2/cairo-dock-plugins/BUILD/cairo-dock-plugins-2.4.0~2/build/Dbus/interfaces/bash" && /usr/bin/python setup.py install --prefix=/usr 2>&1
running install

running install_lib
copying build/lib/CDBashApplet.py -> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
error: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/CDBashApplet.py: Permission denied

I've tried to workarounded it temporarily by setting DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to point at /usr below the buildroot, but this also doesn't show any effect. So please fix this.

Hello and thank you for this bug report and for maintaining these packages!

Oops, we didn't add instructions for that

I just updated the INSTALL file with some instructions to the packagers/maintainers: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/cairo-dock-core/cairo-dock/view/head:/INSTALL#L41

About your problem, you can simply use this CMake flag (for cairo-dock-plug-ins) to install files in another directory: -DROOT_PREFIX=/PATH/TO/YOUR/DIR
