Unable to start web editor #9

Hi Ken, Sorry to add to you're problems, when you're trying to sort out what's happening with the moving target that is Bookworm. Hopefully it's a simple one.

I've just installed gtk on a Raspberry Pi 5, fully up to date with Bookworm. I't's not a clean install, as there is other stuff installed, as well. I can run mediashow without problem. But, when I try and start the web editor, I just see 'HTTP request sent; waiting for response.' on the command line, but no web page opens. I have the Chromium and Firefox browsers that are installed as standard.

When I quit, on the command line, the following is shown:

Found pp_web.cfg in /home/pi/pipresents/pp_config/pp_web.cfg remi.server INFO Started httpserver http://127.0.0.1:8082/

Exiting via interrupt: 2

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/pipresents/remi/server.py", line 818, in start import android ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'android'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/pipresents/pp_web_editor.py", line 1604, in start(PPWebEditor,address=ip, port=network.editor_port,username=network.editor_username,password=network.editor_password, File "/home/pi/pipresents/remi/server.py", line 900, in start s = Server(main_gui_class, start=True, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/pi/pipresents/remi/server.py", line 791, in init self.start() File "/home/pi/pipresents/remi/server.py", line 825, in start webbrowser.open(self._base_address) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/webbrowser.py", line 87, in open if browser.open(url, new, autoraise): ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/webbrowser.py", line 182, in open return not p.wait() ^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 1262, in wait return self._wait(timeout=timeout) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 1997, in _wait (pid, sts) = self._try_wait(0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 1955, in _try_wait (pid, sts) = os.waitpid(self.pid, wait_flags) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hope this helps to trace the problem, and if you want any further testing, just ask.

Thanks for you super software.

Cheers

There is something about this in the manual. I had the same issue but it worked after doing this…

This will open the Chrome browser and display the editor gui. However there seems to be a bug in the March 24 issue of Bookworm which causes this command to hang. I solved it by making Firefox the default browser and then making Chrome the default browser again.

Thanks for that. I hadn't spotted that in the manual. I shall try that.

Yes, this worked: Instructions:

In Raspberry Pi Configuration, System tab. Browser: Select Firefox. Save.

Reopen Raspberry Pi Configuration, System tab. Browser: Select Chromium. Save.
