Syncplay not starting on ubuntu #70

Closed pitastrudl closed 9 years ago

pitastrudl commented 9 years ago

Compiled syncplay on ubuntu 14.04 64bit. it shows the app in the program menu but starting it does nothing. Tried lanuching it in terminal but it says

arun@arun-HP-ProBook-6560b:~$ syncplay Could not import GUI libraries. If you do not have PySide installed then you will need to install it for the GUI to work. Hostname can't be empty! Some necessary arguments are missing, refer to --help

With the help from some kind people from IRC, i also tried this:

python -c 'import PySide' and python3 -c 'import PySide' output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named PySide

python -c 'import PySide' output same as the one above

python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' output: ['', '/usr/local/lib/python27.zip', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages']

locate libpyside-python output: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpyside-python2.7.so.1.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpyside-python2.7.so.1.2.1

fixing python path? export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ did not work.

Found myself having the same issue now almost 2 years later on Xubuntu 16.04 and found my own closed issue, heh. Well i just had to do "sudo apt-get install python-pyside" and it worked! I checked the software requirements at the apps website http://syncplay.pl/guide/install/ .
