Hi, I'm using ubuntu breezy. I've done apt-get install build-essential
also installed python and successfully compiled (I guess) the last version of adesklets. at least it gave no errors.
But when it came to running the desklet I used this:
./yab.py &

It asked for register or test and I pressed r. here is the result:
------------------------------------------------------------------
aytackubilay@aytackubilay:~/.desklets/yab-0.0.2$ ./yab.py
Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? r
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./yab.py", line 48, in ?

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/adesklets/__init__.py", line 43, in ?

Hi feanorarcamenel,

first, where exactly did you read the desklets were made to be spawned in the background? ;-) Try:

Code:


./yab.py


I suggest you have a look at chapter four of the manual if you need more background.

Second, you probably compiled adesklets without X support (did you see the warning at the end of the configuration phase?). Complete explanation here. Yours,
______

EDIT: According to this tutorial (in French), here are the packages that shoud be installed on a default Ubuntu Breezy system for compiling adesklets from source when you want to use it for displaying desklets:

Code:


sudo apt-get python2.4-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline5-dev libimlib2 libimlib2-dev xlibs-dev build-essential
