Compiling ok - but not want to start.

Hi, I moved to Void linux, I installed Dock-applet but it does not appearing in Mate panel.

I checked this command `python /usr/lib/mate-applets/mate-dock-applet/dock_applet.py' it gave me:

[musk@void-live 1]$ python /usr/lib/mate-applets/mate-dock-applet/dock_applet.py /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:50: RuntimeWarning: You have imported the Gtk 2.0 module. Because Gtk 2.0 was not designed for use with introspection some of the interfaces and API will fail. As such this is not supported by the pygobject development team and we encourage you to port your app to Gtk 3 or greater. PyGTK is the recomended python module to use with Gtk 2.0 warnings.warn(warn_msg, RuntimeWarning)

then I checked also: `python3 /usr/lib/mate-applets/mate-dock-applet/dock_applet.py'

[musk@void-live 1]$ python3 /usr/lib/mate-applets/mate-dock-applet/dock_applet.py

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mate-applets/mate-dock-applet/dock_applet.py", line 38, in import gi ImportError: No module named 'gi' [musk@void-live 1]$

What I done wrong? I installed all dependencies. Pls help :wink:

It looks like you're missing the python interface to Gtk. I'm not familiar with Void, but I think the packages you need are python-gobject2 and python-gobject. Try installing these and then run the applet again. Hopefully, that'll sort out your problems ....

Ok, give me a day or two to install Void linux in a virtual machine and see what I can figure out ...

I've been looking at this and have got nowhere. In fact I can't even get the applet to compile on Void because of what I presume are problems with the version of autoconf that Void uses (2.69_6, which is way ahead of the 2.69-2 on my Arch box). The versions of automake and python3 are also different - automake is 1.15_4 on Void and 1.15-1 on Arch, python3 is 3.4_1 on Void and 3.5.0-2 on Arch.

Because Void isn't exactly a mainstream distro and there's not much info on the web or in their forums, all I can suggest of is that you see if you can downgrade your version of automake and autoconf and upgrade your python3 to the versions Arch uses. I don't know if that will help, but it may be worth a try. Other than that I'm out of ideas....

[rigzbe]

I'm lazy man, I moved to Arch - now is working great, and I figured out something else, applet is not working with Gtk3 version of MATE ;) just informing.

[robint99]

No problem.... The Gtk3 thing is something I'm aware of and will get around to looking at when real life allows :)

[Duncaen]

You do realize, that the - and _ respectively in arch and voids package versions are just extra numbers for the times the package is changed in the repository without pushing the version, probably for template/pkgbuild changes and if they wouldn't be they would be really minor changes and shouldn't break anything.

Then you need python3.4-gobject, python3.4-cairo and python3.4-xdg. Its not that hard, to just find the right packages for the right python version.

Btw voids mate uses Gtk3 too.
