VirtualBox error #70

Open mrneilypops opened 5 years ago

Hi Mark, Here I am again developing my little distro dwmX. I have an issue with dmenu_extended when running dwmX installed in a VirtualBox...see attached screenshot. This does not happen on bare metal.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi Niel, Great to see your getting back into your distro. I've not come across that error before. Could you try deleting all .pyc files under the dmenu_extended install location and trying again?

If I comment out; 'import plugins' in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dmenu_extended.py then dmenu_extended runs. I will try an ISO build removing plugins and try and establish which one is causing the problem...

Where are the installed plugins located?

dmenu-extended runs on live session in VirtualBox. dmenu-extended has the above error after install in VirtualBox. 'sudo dmenu_extended_run' works after install...

purging installed dmenu_extended and reinstalling in VirtualBox works.

I am still interested in what could be causing this error...

If you now remove all .pyc files related to dmenu_extended in your post installation environment does it run then?

No. Removing the .pyc file did not work. I had to purge the existing installation and reinstall to get dmenu_extended running again.

Which .pyc file did you remove exactly? My money would be on the one located at ~/.config/dmenu-extended/plugins/__init__.pyc
