VanaephHi I am trying to setup Sickbeard with SABnzbd+ in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I keep getting errors when I try to run the SickBeard.py file. I was wondering if there is anyone in here that can help me set it up?07:36
slooksterpsvVanaeph: whats the error you get?07:46
VanaephThe error I keep getting is " ImportError: No module named _sqlite3" and the a bunch of line references.  I googled the error and rdon't really know anything about it.07:46
slooksterpsvdo you have python-sqlite installed?07:47
slooksterpsvor rather sqlite3?07:47
VanaephI have python 2.6.6 installed07:48
slooksterpsvperfect, do you know how to open a terminal window?07:48
Vanaephyes07:48
slooksterpsvok run the following command in the terminal: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 python-sqlite07:48
slooksterpsvand then try it :D07:49
slooksterpsvbrb07:49
Vanaephthanks :)07:50
Vanaephok did that and the message changed a bit to : File "/home/greg/.sickbeard/SickBeard.py", line 32, in <module>07:53
Vanaeph    import sqlite307:53

Vanaephit looks like i need something names dbapi2.py07:54
slooksterpsvsudo apt-get install python-psycopg207:55
slooksterpsvoh woops don't install the pyscopg207:56
Vanaephok07:56
VanaephI got me right on the Y/N screen :)07:56
slooksterpsvok after I installed those packages I could import sqlite3 and _sqlite, are you still receiving the error message for no module named _sqlite3 then?07:56
Vanaephyes let me try and reinstall them again quick07:57
Vanaephyeah I  used the terminal command: "sudo apt-get install sqlite3 python-sqlite" and then: "python /home/greg/.sickbeard/SickBeard.py" and I still get the same error message.08:00
slooksterpsvhmmm...08:00
Vanaephi'll cut and paste my last terminal commands to see if that will help08:01

slooksterpsvumm should have told you to use pastebin no worries though08:03
slooksterpsvVanaeph - try this, type in python, then type in the following: import sqlite3 <enter> import _sqlite3 <enter>08:04
slooksterpsvif that fails let me know08:04
Vanaephyou want me to be in the interpreter right?08:05
slooksterpsvyes08:05
hobgoblinVanaeph: please use paste.ubuntu.com in future08:06
slooksterpsvhobgoblin: I thought it was pastebin.ubuntu.com weird08:06
shadeslayeri think you need libsqlite3-0 ... might be wrong tho08:07
Vanaephok sorry about that08:07
slooksterpsvshadeslayer: hmm dunno, I got it to work on my computer, but then again sometimes I have like 1000s of packages installed that may resolve the issues and that08:07
shadeslayerslooksterpsv: yeah, works for me too, i did dpkg -l and grepped _sqlite308:08
shadeslayerrather sqlite308:08
slooksterpsvso Vaneph did those commands work in the interpreter?08:08
shadeslayer( but then i have 10.10 )08:08
slooksterpsvshadeslayer: ditto08:08
Vanaephno dice08:09
slooksterpsvVanaeph: did they work in the interpreter?08:09
Vanaephit seems to me that _sqlite3 did not but the other one did08:11
slooksterpsvtype this into terminal: locate _sqlite308:11
Vanaephok08:12
slooksterpsvdoes it find anything?08:12
Vanaephyep usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so08:13
Vanaephand then another one in my python 3.1 dir08:14
slooksterpsvgonna do a vm install of 10.04 and try it, is that the version you're running?08:15
Vanaeph10.04 LTS08:15
Vanaephso yes08:15
slooksterpsvhaha from booting from the LTS cd and running that in a python shell, it works automatically08:15
slooksterpsvdo you have any ppa's enabled for items like python or that08:16
VanaephI don't know really I had this brain fart to try and  learn python so I've installed like three different versions and I'm sure I must have screwed something up along the way08:17
slooksterpsvhmmm08:17
Vanaephthe only ppa i have are kubuntu backports and jcfp08:18
Vanaephoops and google talk08:19
slooksterpsvdo this: sudo apt-get purge python-sqlite && sudo apt-get install python-sqlite08:19
Vanaephk08:19
Vanaephhaha no dice08:20
VanaephSo if I were to use my live cd and try and run this it should work right?08:24
Vanaephfor 10.0408:24
slooksterpsvshould yes08:26
Vanaephok I just installed 10.04 on my laptop the other night I'll try and get it to work on that08:27
Vanaephthanks for your help08:27

LeMoiLibhow do I resolve that?????????10:44
slooksterpsvare you using a proxy server?10:45
LeMoiLibIt is from the command line10:45
slooksterpsvok so you've done export http_proxy=<yourproxyip> and that10:45
LeMoiLibnope! what's that?10:50
slooksterpsva proxy server caches all the information on sites you access so isntead of using bandwidth and reloading the page from the internet, it just loads it from cache; with the proxy item it sounds like you have a proxy server10:55
LeMoiLibI know that10:58

LeMoiLibCan someone tell me what can I do?14:12
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: do gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 3064E19E &&gpg --export --armor 3064E19E | sudo apt-key add -14:24
hobgoblinsee what you get then - as long as you actually trust the ppa that gives the error14:24
LeMoiLibHi hobgoblin, Is it one line in the terminal14:25
LeMoiLib?14:25
LeMoiLibHobgolin I think it works fine! no error at the command promt! What was it????14:29
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: sorry I was afk there :) basically you added the key for the ppa to the apt system - I'm sure there is a complicated and technical description for it all - apt-key manages the keys used by apt14:57
LeMoiLibNo worry,thanks. Did you get that from somewhere?14:58
LeMoiLibI'm installing "Ubuntu restricted extra" package but now it doesn't want to stop running how do I kill it?14:59
pedro3005press CTRL + C15:00
pedro3005if you're on the terminal15:00
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: check - I bet you have a java eaula to agree with15:01
hobgoblinand if you ctrl+c be ready to fix apt :)15:01
LeMoiLibI'm running it from synaptic15:02
LeMoiLibthe connection to one site is failling15:02
LeMoiLibWant to stop it15:02
LeMoiLibHumm...hobgolin what that sign? My name just disappear on the terminal now the promt is: >15:04
LeMoiLibThis what I have after Crt+C: This will abort the operation and may leave the system in a broken state. Are you sure you want to do that?15:06
Silver_Fox_Hello.15:06
hobgoblinthen I'd be prepared to fix it if necessary - if it is just downloading it should be ok - but I have no idea what it is doing as I am here ;)15:07
hobgoblinhello :)15:07
Silver_Fox_Hello15:07
LeMoiLibok15:08
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: if you are installing from synaptic - what is going on in the terminal that needs ctrl+c15:08
LeMoiLibnothing15:08
LeMoiLibhow will I fix the system after?15:09
hobgoblinit'll tell you :)15:09
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: if apt is just downloading and not actually installing then you'll be able to carry on from where you are15:10
LeMoiLibThe crt+c is no going through15:10
LeMoiLibit keep running15:10
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: why do you keep on about ctrl+c?15:11
LeMoiLibtrying to kill synaptic15:11
LeMoiLibrunning15:11
hobgoblincan you not just cancel in synaptic?15:12
LeMoiLibit's not working15:12
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: so have you actually looked for the java window anywhere - I know when I first did this years ago I got caught out by it15:13
LeMoiLibthe java window??? I don't see anything like that open!15:14
hobgoblincheck that there is not a box behind synaptic waiting for a response - to be brutally honest you say it is hung downloading something and then don't bother letting us knwo what is actually going on - I'm quite happy to help and can mind read my kids when they are too quiet - but I don't know you well enough to read yours :)15:19
LeMoiLibI told right at the beginning that I'm trying to install Ubuntu restricted extra15:21
LeMoiLibyou must have miss it15:21
LeMoiLibsorry15:21
hobgoblinyep - and that is a LOT of packages - if it is stuck downloading one - which one ;) if it is one of the ms fonts that is failry common15:22
LeMoiLibtrying to copy it for you15:23
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: hang on15:23
hobgoblinLeMoiLib: if you are in synaptic - you should be able to look at the details - looks a bit like a terminal - what is the LAST line in there15:23
LeMoiLibcan't copy it; it a voxel.dl.sourceforge.net thing15:24
LeMoiLibconnecting to voxell.dl.sourceforge.net......then timed out15:24
LeMoiLiband it has keep on doing that for an hour now15:25

qmanderbut now somehow it doesn't work either16:46
qmanderand one more thing: i use a qwerty and a qwertz layout16:46
qmanderand when i use the qwerty in the terminal i have to press ctrl+y instead of ctrl+z16:47
Cheri703if you have multiple keyboard layouts selected, you can choose one at login time (it's at the bottom of the screen before you login)16:47
qmanderso i was wondering if there is some straightforward terminal method to set the default?16:48
Cheri703I just cleared out the others and had the one, then logged out and back in16:48
