Module import error, can't start. about mupen64plus-ui-python HOT 8 CLOSED

If you are to start from current dir (./m64py) then you need just build_qt, not install.
Do you have pyrcc4 in PATH?

from mupen64plus-ui-python.

I am not sure if I do have pyrcc4 in my path, I echoed the $PATH environment variable but didn't see anything in there about pyrcc4. I also googled around and I haven't found out how I would go about exporting the proper stuff to the path.

from mupen64plus-ui-python.

Do you have it installed? It is needed in order to build qt resource files.

from mupen64plus-ui-python.

It is installed. As a test I tried this:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/pyrcc4

to export it to my path (I found the binary with locate earlier)
and then re-ran

python setup.py build_qt

Then I tried to run the generated executable and this happened:

pi@raspberrypi ~/m64py/mupen64plus-ui-python $ ./m64py

M64Py - A frontend for Mupen64Plus version 0.2.2

Frontend: INFO: ScreenSaver not available: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files

Which is the same problem I got from the precompiled binaries, and the reason that I pulled the source in the first place, so I'm now back to square one. Any ideas?

EDIT: I also re-ran the "python setup.py install" option and it seems to have completed successfully, but the binary still generates the error listed above, but it does seem to be progress, because the setup script didn't seem to get this far before.

There is not a single information about the crash in this bug. Please provide backtraces. Does it work with the mupen64plus-ui-console program (executable is only called mupen64plus in your installation)? Do you see at least the Qt4 GUI opening or stops it even before that?

Btw. there are no precompiled binaries for raspberry pi? Where did you get them?

from mupen64plus-ui-python.

I downloaded the source and compiled it. This error is all the information I know how to provide. Where would the backtrace information be logged?

from mupen64plus-ui-python.

Python prints them starting with "Traceback (most recent call last):". If it is not there then your python version may be broken. You can also try to run it in gdb with python support (needs current m64py from git):

sudo apt-get install python3-dbg gdb python3-sip-dbg python3-pyqt4-dbg python3-pyqt4.qtopengl-dbg
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py build
gdb -ex r --args /usr/bin/python3-dbg ./m64py --sdl2

When it crashes then you can use the commands "bt full" and "py-bt" to get a backtrace.

Closing this. Please open new issue if it happens again, with new information.
