| [02:41] <dalto> ANYONE HOME? | |
| [02:42] <dalto> oops (yells) .. my bad | |
| [02:47] <blahdeblah> dalto: maybe? | |
| [02:50] <dalto> gday mate - sorry - I am an IRC noob and Linux noob ... do you have a dose of patience on hand? | |
| [02:51] <dalto> wondering if it's OK to rattle off a couple of questions | |
| [02:52] <dalto> hope my internetiquette is OK for here | |
| [02:52] <dalto> ? | |
| [02:54] <dalto> should I fire away? | |
| [03:47] <blahdeblah> dalto: you should fire away | |
| [03:47] <blahdeblah> This is a quiet channel though; for more immediate help, try the main #ubuntu channel | |
| [04:00] <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 | |
| [04:02] <dalto> above was my question - full error: File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 30, in <module> import gi ImportError: No module named gi | |
| [04:03] <dalto> I have since tried sudo apt-get python-gi ...but get error: Invalid operation python-gi | |
| [04:29] <blahdeblah> dalto: you want "sudo apt-get install python-gi" | |
| [04:32] <dalto> omg i seriously didnt! | |
| [04:32] <dalto> installed :0 | |
| [04:32] <dalto> trying ccsm again now | |
| [04:35] <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> :) | |
| [04:37] <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) | |
| [04:39] <dalto> you mean 16.04 is not an official build? | |
| [04:40] <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..... | |
| [04:44] <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). | |
| [04:45] <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 | |
| [04:47] <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 | |
| [04:58] <dalto> trying some stuff - rebooting | |
| [04:59] <dalto> blahdeblah: thx for your assistance | |
