Can't start everpad since updated to 2.7.0 via ubuntu PPA #401

Open magowiz opened 10 years ago

magowiz commented 10 years ago

I was using previous version of everpad 2.5.6 without any big issues but since I updated it to last available from ubuntu ppa (I'm using 13.10 x64) I cannot even start the program , I get the following error : everpad Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/everpad", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2805, in working_set.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 696, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 594, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: PySide

I also tried to install python-pyside meta package (the error comes with python-2,x distribution, so I didn't choose python3-pyside) but the same error is still there.

I wrote wrong version number : everpad's last release is 2.6.0 , not 2.7.0 , I meant 2.6.0

Same set-up (13.10 x64), same problem. My sys.path includes /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, and this directory contains a directory PySide. Not sure what else to check.

The same problem here with the same set-up (13.10 x64).

I think I found the issue. The packaged version of PySide doesn't provide the egg info in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages which make the load_entry_point call from pkg_resources fail. If you install PySide using pip (which you'll end up with /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PySide and /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PySide-1.2.1.egg-info), everpad should work again. If you then start getting py-oauth2 error, then you'd need to install that via pip as well. Hope this helps.

My workaround:

Metadata-Version: 1.0
Name: PySide
Version: 1.1.0
Summary: UNKNOWN
Home-page: UNKNOWN
Author: UNKNOWN
Author-email: UNKNOWN
License: UNKNOWN
Description: UNKNOWN
Platform: UNKNOWN

In my case it then asked for py-oauth2, so

sudo easy_install py-oauth2

Then it can starts without error.

lambdacalculator commented 10 years ago

Thanks, this workaround worked. More generally, though, I'm interested to know what changes to official packages would have to be made so that Everpad installed on 13.10 as advertised. Not knowing much about python package management or the OAuth2 libraries, I wonder:

My workaround:

  • Find out the installed version of PySide in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PySide/init.py
  • Mine is 1.1.0, so create a text file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PySide-1.1.0-py2.7.egg-info with the following content:

Metadata-Version: 1.0 Name: PySide Version: 1.1.0 Summary: UNKNOWN Home-page: UNKNOWN Author: UNKNOWN Author-email: UNKNOWN License: UNKNOWN Description: UNKNOWN Platform: UNKNOWN

In my case it then asked for py-oauth2, so

sudo easy_install py-oauth2

Then it can starts without error.

After the ppa 2.6.1-0 update (b4f94df7f4aacb4a2df30ad236971cfbc7df560b?) py-oath2 is not required anymore, but the .egg-info is still needed to be in place. I think the .egg-info should come with the python-pyside.qtcore package, but it doesn't. If you want to contact the maintainers, run dpkg -s python-pyside.qtcore | grep -i maintainer to find out who they are. On the order hand, Let's find out what if PySide's also removed from the requirements list in setup.py.

The workaround does not work for me:

Thanx for the workaround but it does not work for me, got the same error message as heiner865 have.

ladios commented 10 years ago

I have not dived into the code, but I guess the EverpadService shown in the traceback is run by everpad-provider. everpad is not the only component to check. Try follow the instructions here: https://github.com/nvbn/everpad/wiki/Receiving-debug-information

WebShapedBiz commented 10 years ago

Apparently I needed a system restart. This workaround seems to be working fine now.

heiner865 commented 10 years ago

The same here, thank you!

Is anyone else getting the below after installing PySide from any installation method (pip, apt, easy_install)?

everpad Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/everpad", line 9, in load_entry_point('everpad==2.6.1dev', 'gui_scripts', 'everpad')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 343, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2309, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2015, in load entry = import(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['name']) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/pad/indicator.py", line 8, in from everpad.pad.editor import Editor File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/pad/editor/init.py", line 6, in from everpad.interface.editor import Ui_Editor File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/interface/editor.py", line 125, in from PySide import QtWebKit ImportError: cannot import name QtWebKit

I've checked inside the PySide module and there can't see QtWebKit? I can only assume my PySide module is not building/installing correctly?

ghostkadost commented 10 years ago

I created the egginfo as suggested but it does not work even after restart. I get the same dbus error message mention above.

jferna57 commented 10 years ago

With the workaround provided by @ladios I can start everpad correctly.

SteveOhh commented 9 years ago

@CTilley147, I'm having the same issue. Let me know if you figured it out!

edit: solved the problem. I installed NixNote, which took 30 seconds, compared to spending 3 hours on Everpad and not getting anywhere.
