|---|---|---|
| dalto | oops (yells) .. my bad | 02:42 |
| blahdeblah | dalto: maybe? | 02:47 |
| dalto | gday mate - sorry - I am an IRC noob and Linux noob ... do you have a dose of patience on hand? | 02:50 |
| dalto | wondering if it's OK to rattle off a couple of questions | 02:51 |
| dalto | hope my internetiquette is OK for here | 02:52 |
| dalto | ? | 02:52 |
| dalto | should I fire away? | 02:54 |
| blahdeblah | dalto: you should fire away | 03:47 |
| blahdeblah | This is a quiet channel though; for more immediate help, try the main #ubuntu channel | 03:47 |
| dalto | already there but basically its a heap of people dropping in and out - i'll copy and paste my question into here anyway - at least it won't be sitting in a heap of drop in/out clutter - any help would be sincerely appreciated.... | 04:00 |
| dalto | So I have installed 16.04 in a Workstation 12 VM and am trying to get compiz-reloaded happening properly - I have followed the instructions here: http://blog.northfield.ws/compiz-release-announcement-0-8-12/ ....up to Step 5 (verify running) but am getting error... ImportError: No module named gi ... I have run: apt-cache search python gobject but am not sure which to install to get this working properly | 04:00 |
| dalto | above was my question - full error: File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 30, in <module> import gi ImportError: No module named gi | 04:02 |
| dalto | I have since tried sudo apt-get python-gi ...but get error: Invalid operation python-gi | 04:03 |
| blahdeblah | dalto: you want "sudo apt-get install python-gi" | 04:29 |
| dalto | omg i seriously didnt! | 04:32 |
| dalto | installed :0 | 04:32 |
| dalto | trying ccsm again now | 04:32 |
| dalto | mmm - ccsm now gives Terminal error Segmentation fault (core dumped) along with popup CCSM blah blah unexpectedly do you want to send error report | 04:35 |
| dalto | blahdeblah: no pun intended there Sir | 04:35 |
| dalto | :) | 04:35 |
| blahdeblah | dalto: Well, you can try sending an error report, but since that's a non-official build, I'd guess it won't get looked at. | 04:37 |
| blahdeblah | (by Canonical) | 04:37 |
| dalto | you mean 16.04 is not an official build? | 04:39 |
| blahdeblah | no; that page is getting you to compile software from source which is not part of the official build | 04:40 |
| dalto | ahh - i see | 04:40 |
| dalto | yes i sent the report but then as you say..... | 04:40 |
| dalto | ok so looking at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2071988 I can see that someone is mentioning changing a value to 3. You need to make sure your program doesn't do 1.. I believe I have seen this mentioned in relation to Compiz and that some had success with changing a value to 2 (scratches own head and assumes possibly the Line 30 error now). | 04:44 |
| blahdeblah | dalto: I don't know much at all about compiz. But as a bit more background on error reports see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker | 04:45 |
| dalto | will do - are you able to assist at this point in helping me navigate to /usr/bin/ccsm and getting it open to have a look in gedit please? I'm not kidding my friend - I am that new at this Linux stuff | 04:47 |
| dalto | trying some stuff - rebooting | 04:58 |
| dalto | blahdeblah: thx for your assistance | 04:59 |
