Any hints how to get guake work again?

I'm still on Gnome 2 and using notify-osd.

It's the same on Xfce, but no problems in an awesome session.

[joost]

heh, I noticed the python bindings never got bumped after notification stuff got updated.
I'll bump it in Entropy and we'll see.

[svantoviit]

Yeah, and I got a similar error with Bleachbit which won't start too.

Code: Select all

$ bleachbit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bleachbit", line 42, in <module>
    import bleachbit.GUI
ImportError: No module named bleachbit.GUI

Could it be for the same reason?

[joost]

Nope that isn´t it.

I do have a workaround.
If you install xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd you can get guake to work.

[svantoviit]

Installing xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd as suggested solved the Guake issue on Gnome and Xfce.
Thanks Joost!

Same problem; guake won't start on my newly installed Sabayon 6/xfce4 on netbook i686 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Unfortunately xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd is not available in Entropy Store.
Tried emerge and I got this:

Code: Select all

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] dev-util/pkgconfig-0.26  USE="-hardened"
[ebuild  N    #] xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd-0.2.2  USE="-debug"

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd (argument)
>=xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd-0.2.2

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT).


Not sure how to proceed from here. Appreciate some help. Thank you.

[joost]

It will be in sabayon-weekly repository tomorrow.

[rumahsiput]

Thank you very much. Guake worked and so did other things like mixer and cheese after update (still struggling with skype but that's another story). I'm glad I switched to xfce. It's really nice. Thanks!
P/S With mixer working, I've got Skype going too!
