GUI Package Manager ~Portato~ Old Support Thread

[Red Knuckles]

I have a fresh install of 3.4e AMD64 which comes with portato. I've completed 'emerge -e system' and am currently running 'emerge -e world'. I can't get portato to open. If I click on the icon nothing happens. ie. no bouncing logo as it is opening box for pw. Just nothing. From cli:

~ # /usr/bin/portato
'gtk' should be installed, but cannot be imported. This is definitly a bug. (No module named lxml)

~ $ /usr/bin/portato
'gtk' should be installed, but cannot be imported. This is definitly a bug. (No module named lxml)

How to fix? I have:

[I] x11-libs/wxGTK
Available versions:
(2.6) 2.6.3.3
(2. (~)2.8.4.0[1]
{X debug doc gif gnome joystick odbc opengl sdl stl unicode}

[U] x11-libs/gtk+
Available versions:
(1) 1.2.10-r12
(2) 2.6.10-r1 2.8.19 (~)2.8.20-r1 2.10.11 2.10.13 2.10.14

if those are in fact the needed gtk packages?

This is a known issue. The portato distributed with the Sabayon-Core-Install misses some dependencies. Please do a "emerge -av portato" to get all dependencies (the issue here is that lxml is not installed (sorry for the quite misleading error message))

/edit: Neither wxGTK nor gtk+ directly are used by portato. Pygtk is the thing - but as written above this is not the problem here

I did but am getting same results... Could this have anything to do with gcc-4.2.0. SL 3.4e comes with gcc-4.1.2 but 'emerge -e system' upgrades it to 4.2.0 which unfortunately borks some thing [kdelibs for one] until you do 'emerge -e world'.

Shouldn't be the case ... but nevertheless: "emerge -1av lxml" will install lxml... Pay attention if the same error message seems to occur: The real error is written in the parenthesis at the end

For FWIW I did "emerge -1av lxml" and it then complained of no 'vte module' so I emerge vte and now I get:

~ # /usr/bin/portato
Segmentation fault

Hmm... has your emerge -e world finished? - If yes: run python-updater and revdep-rebuild -X. There are definitly some python things broken ...

Uh, no emerge -e world is still cooking only 1504 packages to go. Maybe in 2 or 3 days... I did make a note to add 'python-updater' to list of things to do after it's done though. thanks for your help. And yes I wish there were a faster way.

Even if you start it at normal user from the console (it should ask you for password too)?

No it doesn't. You can open Portato from the console as a normal user, you just can't do anything with it.

Then you did not install 0.8.5 - or you set the "userpriv" useflag ... as I asked above: please give the content of the desktop file

I did, that is when the problems started.

- or you set the "userpriv" useflag ...

If I did, then i must have done it accidentaly!

as I asked above: please give the content of the desktop file

I have since upgraded to 3.4e and that seems to be OK. But i can post the file anyway if you still want it?
