Can't start everpad on Debian Wheezy

[stephanehofman]

Hi, I'm trying to install Everpad on Debian Wheezy with Gnome Shell. What I have done :

apt-get install python-pyside.qtcore python-pyside.qtgui python-dbus python-beautifulsoup python-pysqlite2 python-keyring python-support python-sqlalchemy python-oauth2 python-magic python-pyside.qtwebkit python-html2text gtk2-engines-pixbuf python-regex

python-gnomekeyring python-setuptools

$git clone https://github.com/nvbn/everpad.git $cd everpad

python setup.py install

When I'm lauching everpad : $everpad Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/everpad", line 9, in load_entry_point('everpad==2.3dev', 'gui_scripts', 'everpad')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/everpad-2.3dev-py2.7.egg/everpad/pad/indicator.py", line 279, in main app.provider = get_provider(session_bus) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/everpad-2.3dev-py2.7.egg/everpad/tools.py", line 37, in wrapper return InterfaceWrapper(partial(fnc, _args, *_kwrags)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/everpad-2.3dev-py2.7.egg/everpad/tools.py", line 14, in init self.load() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/everpad-2.3dev-py2.7.egg/everpad/tools.py", line 17, in load self.interface = self.__get() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/everpad-2.3dev-py2.7.egg/everpad/tools.py", line 44, in get_provider provider = bus.get_object("com.everpad.Provider", '/EverpadProvider') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 241, in get_object follow_name_owner_changes=follow_name_owner_changes) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 248, in __init self._named_service = conn.activate_name_owner(bus_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 180, in activate_name_owner self.start_service_by_name(bus_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 278, in start_service_by_name 'su', (bus_name, flags))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program /usr/bin/everpad-provider: Success

Can someone help me please ? Thanks @+

Try to run everpad-provider --verbose and post output here

[stephanehofman]

in a the fisrt terminal, I use
$everpad-provider --verbose In the second terminal I use $everpad

Now I can use everpad and configure it. I have synchronised it, and I can watch my notes !

In the 1st terminal : "Notebook XXX's notebook remote Notebook My Notebook remote Tag XX1 remote Tag XX2 remote Tag XX3 remote Tag XX4 remote Note T0 DO remote /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sqlalchemy/sql/expression.py:1925: SAWarning: The IN-predicate on "resources.id" was invoked with an empty sequence. This results in a contradiction, which nonetheless can be expensive to evaluate. Consider alternative strategies for improved performance. return self._in_impl(operators.in_op, operators.notin_op, other) Note X remote Note Y remote Note Z remote maximum recursion depth exceeded "

So what can I you do now ? Thanks @+

[stephanehofman]

Just one thing : If I stop the first terminal, I have an error in everpad : "API version missmatch, please restart." Hope that can help you ....

My understanding is that this is the blocker http://techlek.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/stalled-attempt-to-install-everpad-on-debian-wheezy/

[stephanehofman]

So if I understand well, I have to wait for a new version of gnome-keyring. Is-it right ? My version is 3.4.1....

@+

[alanz]

I Think so. 3.6.1-1 is currently in Debian experimental.

I wonder if it would be possible to patch 3.4.1

[stephanehofman]

So I will wait a new version of the package and try as soon as possible. Stay tuned

I've got Everpad working great on Debian 7 using the Ubuntu packages. See my site http://adamdekroon.com/2013/04/everpad-debian/

[alanz]

Works for me, but I had to apt-get install gir1.2-dbusmenu-glib -0.4 too

+1

[gursimar]

I followed the links to blogs http://adamdekroon.com/2013/04/everpad-debian/ I can start evernote and have the tray icon. However I can only open settings. i can authorize but nothing else works?? In the menu of tray icon only two things appear

1. Settings and Management
2. Exit

Is there any hope??

tried to follow the instructions of @Cityscape4 but couldn't get past the apt-get: looks like python-oauth2 is not jessie's repos (https://launchpad.net/debian/jessie/+package/python-oauth2)

[Cityscape4]

@mferretti That package is in the repos for Debian Wheezy: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-oauth2 My instructions were for Wheezy, the current stable version of Debian. Jessie is the "testing"" version and likely incompatible with the instructions at my site. Let me know if you figure anything out though!

[mferretti]

@Cityscape4 : sorry, I didn't notice that ... but I had a "aha!" moment and managed to install it.

I had to : 1- enable unstable repos : deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free 2- install python-oauth2 from unstable : apt-get -t unstable install python-oauth2 3- copy & paste the apt-get install bit from your site 4 -install the following (some from your site, some deps manually resolved) sudo dpkg -i sni-qt_0.2.5-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libunity9_5.10.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (this fails for deps) sudo apt-get install libdee-1.0-4 (missing deps) sudo apt-get install -f (this fixes everything getting libgee too likely from unstable) dpkg -i gir1.2-unity-5.0_5.10.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libunity9_5.10.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i python-unity-singlet_0.2.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb

at this point I downloaded the latest everpad and installed successsfully sudo dpkg -i everpad_2.15.8-0~precise_amd64.deb

I got all the missing packages from the ubuntu site (first gave a try with apt-get install, anything that was not in deb repos I downloaded manually). The way to resolve the download path is : http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/download

hope this helps someone

@mferretti tears, million thanks!
