    Hi. I am trying to install Rufus 0.6.5 on Kubuntu Breezy using Strikeforce's deb files. His deb is located here http://strikeforce.dyndns.org/files/ You can see my posts about trying to get it to run on pages 9 and 10 of this thread at the UbuntuForums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57590&highlight=rufus The problem is that I can't get Rufus to open. I first tried it in Hoary using Strikeforce's deb for Hoary but Rufus refused to open. I decided to upgrade to Breezy and after I did I uninstalled the Hoary package and installed the Breezy package. But the same thing occurred. Strikeforce has tried to help me a lot. I believe I have all the necessary depencies but I am getting stuff in the error.log and in the rufus.log. My error.log says the following:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rufus/rufus.py", line 1865, in run

        path = self.btconfig.Get("path")

    My rufus.log says the following:
    Rufus requires wxwindows 2.5.2.8u

    you may want to set the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 environment variable.

    Strikeforce even sent me a python.py to replace with my current one but that didn't help. When I run Rufus from a terminal it just takes me back to $.

    If you have any suggestions I am open to trying this app. It looks great and I am sick of using that resource hog Azureus. Thanks for taking time to read my post and for making this app.

      Hey,

      Can you post a list of the different versions of the Rufus related packages you have installed - python, wxpython etc.  Also check the permissions on the btconfig.ini file as it looks like it is initialised as a string - this shouldn't happen and may be a bug.  I will check.

      I don't have a linux distro running at the moment as I destroyed (dropped) my laptop a few weeks back and am waiting on a new motherboard for it.  Should be here early next week so I will be able to help more then.

      Cheers

      I dunno the cause.
      But what i know is that i've installed rufus a couple days back from a fresh kubuntu 5.10 + python-wxgtk2.6 + strikeforce deb package and it still works without any problems.
      Maybe it's some update package in the beginning of 5.10 that broke your stuff.

      Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been busy with school and work.I am using:
      python-wxgtk2.6
      python 2.4
      python-wxversion = 2.6.1

      But the weird thing is it says I have python-wxversion 2.6.1 but the only wxpython package I see (when I search for python) is 2.5.3. So maybe I am missing something... Any ideas?

        Can you try the following and post the output please.

        sudo aptitude search python-wxgtk | grep 'i'

        sudo aptitude search python-wxgtk2.4
        p   python-wxgtk2.4

      I am not so much a python guy myself yet, but my packages are:

      python                  2.4.2-0ubuntu2  (nothing to do with rufus my guess)
      python2.4             2.4.2-1
      python-wxgtk2.4    2.4.4.1ubuntu1
      python-wxgtk2.6    2.6.1.1.1ubuntu2
      python-wxversion   2.6.1.1.1ubuntu2

      It could possibly be trying to use python-wxgtk2.4 what dependancies are required for that?

      In my package list for breezy I don't have python-wxgtk2.4 Can you try erasing that.  Only if there are no dependancies associated with it.

      for the first one i got

      p   python-wxgtk2.4                 - wxWindows Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (
      i   python-wxgtk2.6                 - wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (

      for the second i got
      p   python-wxgtk2.4                                   - wxWindows Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (wxPython binding)

      for the 3rd one (that one was supposed to be separate right? of course i used a sudo apititude search in front of it) i got a big long list of scrolling through packages. it gave me nothing but the big list in the end.

      and you try and remove python-wxversion and see what it wants to remove.

      I don't mean remove it just see what it wants to remove I still personally think that some how python-wxgtk2.4 is getting called.

      I tried that in Synaptic and it said it wanted to remove python-wxgtk2.6 and rufus. Hope that helps...

      Are you able to delete python-wxgtk2.4?  I'm thinking that thats what is causing the issues?

       
    • Jonathan2007

      Jonathan2007 - 2005-11-01

      It is not installed or so says Synaptic. How would I go about deleting it if maybe some of it got left behind?

      Have you tried removing and reinstall python-wxgtk2.4 and 2.6?

      I did a complete reinstall of kubuntu 5.10 today, and again strikeforce package worked flawless here. It must be something on your system and the question remains, what.

      You are never going to believe this superontvetter, but your suggestion worked. Thanks a ton.

      I only had python-wxgtk2.6 installed so I uninstalled that and it took Rufus with it. Then I reinstalled both 2.4 and 2.6 and then used strikeforce's breezy deb (just like i have done so many times before) and it installed and I started it and it opened fine.

      Thanks again so much.
