How to install Emesene

[slapshot]

Well,

here is a how to install Emesene (http://www.emesene.org/).

- With Puppy Software Installer download and install following libraries:
1. Python-2.5.pup (it is into http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Programming/Python-2.5/)
2. pygtk-2.8.6.pup always in the same path above
3. pycairo-1.2.6.pup as above

Then, you have to get a snapshot from Emesene svn repository, so open a terminal, go into a directory where you want to checkout emesene and type:

svn co http://emesene.svn.sourceforge.net/svnr ... nk/emesene emesene

So type:

cd emesene
./emesene

It is very nice.

Thanks for the how-to, but I get some "invisible text" on the contact list. I can choose a contact, but can't see his name

The text renders correctly on the conversation window, though.

say, I installed the listed pups, but when I use the terminal Puppy says it does not know the SVN command... any ideas? Maybe I'm missing another pup? I'm running NOP 3.01.
Any ideas?

Yep, that did it. Thanks!

Only... now it says (after I do ./emesene)

"I refuse to run as root"

Oh well... I guess aMSN will do for now.

To run emesene a root you have to edit the Controller.py file:

1.- Open the Controller.py file, find and delete or comment the next lines:

if os.name == 'posix' and os.getuid() == 0:
print "I se to run as root"
return

2.- After this modifications, save the Controller.py file
3.- Run again the emesene file

Ahhhhh

I GOT 300 WARNING WINDOWS OPEN

They say

You are using emesene trunk, so don't complain
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/root/emesene/Widgets.py", line 138, in do_expose_event
ctx = evnt.window.cairo_create()

AttributeError: 'gtk.gdk.Window' object has no attribute 'cairo_create'


Among another 299 thingsssssssssssss


HELPPP XD

let's restarx...

[CyRuS]

I can't run emesene, if I type ./emesene it says "no such file or directory"
what does it mean? I tried to modify the controller.py as described by karin_2049 file but no results...

[fer493]

I got that same problem with the hundreds of warning sings. Plus, when I type cd emesene and ./emesene on the terminal it says:

Libmimic not found, webcam not available.
exception creating trayicon: 'module' object has no attribute 'StatusIcon'
core : fsck you {Controller.__init__ @ /root/emesene/Controller.py}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/emesene/Widgets.py", line 138, in do_expose_event
ctx = event.window.cairo_create()
AttributeError: 'gtk.gdk.Window' object has no attribute 'cairo_create'

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this and make emesene work??

plz advice

I lost my time with this

[ericturgeonbsd]

I do it On FreeBSD. And its working great.
The file i configure is in this directory with FreeBSD.
/usr/local/share/emesene/controller.py
In Linux if I'm sure.
/usr/share/emesene/controller.py
but its gonna be a long time I don't have play with linux filesystem.

Code: Select all

def main():
    args = parseArgs()
#    if (os.name == 'posix') and (os.getuid() == 0) and (args[5] == False):
#       print "I refuse to run as root. " \
#            "If you know the risks and still want to do it," \
#              " just add the --i-know-that-running-emesene-as-root-is-bad option."
#        return
    
    try:
        path = os.path.dirname(__file__) or sys.path[0]
    except NameError:
        path = sys.path[0]

Hi

I am running Puppy 431 & have followed slapshot's directions above. Emesene compiled - lots of files & sub directories now in the emesene directory, but I can't work out how to start the programme. There doesn't appear to be any executable files to run. If I type emesene in a terminal - command not found.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Rob.
