#1 ValueError: Namespace GstTag not available for version 1.0

[Brendan]

On stable (rosa) linuxmint I can't start this;

$ fs3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fs3", line 34, in <module>
gi.require_version('GstTag', '1.0')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/init.py", line 83, in require_version
(namespace, version))
ValueError: Namespace GstTag not available for version 1.0</module>

Please help.

Good morning Brendan,
could you tell me which version of wxpython that you have installed on your machine.
Linux Mint should be running wxpython2.8, I suspect that that message is coming out of wxpython3.0.something.
Check in synaptic or run
python
import wx
wx.version()

then Ctrl-d to exit

Hi Rolf

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import wx
wx.version()
'2.8.12.1 (gtk2-unicode)'

This is the full version but I noticed you also have a basic, which is probably more suitable for me, should I try that yet?

Also do I need one of your other footpedal software in addition or is this standalone?

Hi Brendan,
in that case the issue must lie with the GObject modules.
Normally, a few of them are pre loaded but that I suppose that may not
always be the case.
Using synaptic, check that you have the following loaded on your system:
python-gi
gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0
gir1.2-gtk-2.0
gir1.2-gtk-3.0

note that gir1 is gir(one) not L
if you don't have synaptic use apt
first ensure that you have the latest repositories loaded

sudo apt-get update

then try loading the above packages with:
sudo apt-get install python-gi gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0
gir1.2-gtk-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0

this should attempt to load the packages if they do not exist on your
box

I am pretty sure that the footswitch installation routine pre-installs
everything else that is required.

The "basic" version may well be best if you are starting off but it does
require the same packages loaded, so if you are missing a package for
the main version, it will be missing for the basic one as well.

The packages are standalone, in that sense, you only need one of them.
You can install both and they will not interfere with each other.

Regards

Brendan, would you let me know, if loading the suggested packages solved your problem, as I will add them to the installation routines for both footswitch3 and footswitch3basic. I can then upload them as versions 3.3.4, so that other people do not see the same problem.
Regards

Hi Rolf,

That worked, in fact I didn't have 3 of those packages. On launch is now says something about not having ephem but its not preventing launch.

I'm thrilled to find this project, its going to help fill a big void in the linux transcription community.

Thanks
