#12 panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:TimerApplet

[O.R.Senthil Kumaran]

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:TimerApplet". I was doing certain software installation task (removed LAMP Server, following this document: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ) After a Reboot, I encountered this error and I am unable to load the timer applet again.

This has become my favorite, how do I load it back again?

Thank you for your wonderful program.

Have the same problem (on openSUSE 11.0).
I've tried every version of timer-applet down to 1.3.3 with such effect.

I ran into the same problem after upgrading to version 2.1.2.
Starting from the command line would give this error :

$ /usr/lib/timer-applet/timer-applet
Using these definitions:
GETTEXT_PACKAGE: timer-applet
LOCALE_DIR: /usr/share/locale
RESOURCES_DIR: /usr/share/timer-applet
IMAGES_DIR: /usr/share/pixmaps
Traceback (most recent call last):

import gst
ImportError: No module named gst

I was able to solve this by installing the gst-python package (on Gentoo). It might be named differently depending on your distro.

python-Gstreamer helped!
