Issues after starting sevabot (Ubuntu 12.04)

kelvinlouis commented 11 years ago

Hey guys,

After installing sevabot and trying to run it, I got the following messages:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any idea why this is happening? Is something wrong with Skype4Py?

Thanks Kelvin

Hello! This could happen if you are trying to run swvabot from terminal, which has not DISPLAY variable:

DISPLAY=:0
export DISPLAY

Or you can connect via VNC, and run shell - issue should be solved.

I tried setting the DISPLAY variable to 0 or 1 and I still got the same issue. I read in a couple of other places that there are issues with Skype4Py and latest Ubuntu versions.

grundic commented 11 years ago

Hm.. Strange. Have you tried starting application from VNC, when X daemon is running?

kelvinlouis commented 11 years ago

I just noticed that I wasn't running the commands with the skype user. I set export DISPLAY=:1 and I got the following messages:

I tried to login via echo accname pw | skype --pipelogin, before running sevabot, but that didn't work. Any idea why I can't connect to skype?

miohtama commented 11 years ago

Sounds like you are not allowing "External programs to control Skype" in Skype UI preferences

kelvinlouis commented 11 years ago

Do you know if there is a way to set this without using the UI? I'm running on a terminal only server.

miohtama commented 11 years ago

Please read installation instructions for headless server:
