TwitchNotifier crashes in Funtoo #4

Closed Hund closed 7 years ago

Hund commented 7 years ago

I'm running Funtoo with:

And when I run twitchnotifier -c <username> I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/johan/git/TwitchNotifier/twitchnotifier", line 10, in <module>
    import libtn
  File "/home/johan/git/TwitchNotifier/libtn.py", line 11, in <module>
    gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7')

    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Notify not available

Hello. Sorry for a late reply. I am not familiar with Gentoo/Funtoo but I think that you may need the introspection USE flag on libnotify. Do you have it enabled? If not, could you enable it, rebuild and see if that namespace becomes available?

Np! :) A few thinga have changed since last time. I went back to Gentoo and I'm now using x11-libs/libtinynotify instead. The package x11-libs/libnotify requires GTK3. :| I still have the same issue though.

But in Funtoo I did use the USE-flag introspection with the package x11-libs/libnotify.

Hmm... do you have a file in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Notify-0.7.typelib on your system? It should have came with x11-libs/libnotify.

Hund commented 7 years ago

I don't. locate couldnt find it anywere either. :(

GiedriusS commented 7 years ago

According to http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query/listPackageFiles/?category=x11-libs&package=libnotify&version=0.7.7 it should be on your system. I came to the conclusion that this is the key file that you are missing because Debian people apparently have to install a package named gir1.2-notify-0.7 which contains that file to fix this issue. Could you reinstall x11-libs/libnotify?

Hund commented 7 years ago

I really don't want to install libnotify, it has gtk3 as a dependency. :/ Isnt't it possible to rely or use notify-send as an alternative? Notifications with other programs works just fine.

Hund commented 7 years ago

I installed libnotify and it works, so I'm closing this one. :)
