Applet fails under Debian #14

Closed karlsackett closed 12 years ago

karlsackett commented 12 years ago

Apparently the applet requires a python-appindicator package, which isn't available for Debian.

miranda$ ./fluxgui 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fluxgui/fluxgui.py", line 2, in <module>
    import appindicator
ImportError: No module named appindicator

Yes, it's written specifically to be an ubuntu appindicator. the xflux binary is available on other distributions. http://stereopsis.com/flux/

For reference in case anyone wants to get this working on Debian. python-appindicator is now available in Debian. If you follow this guide to create the package from source (https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA) you can install fluxgui. For reference I am running Debian Testing (Stretch) currently but looks like it should work from wheezy upwards.
