how do i install this

free2rhume45, I've written a blog post to address this subject (http://laymanstermsdev.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/installing-entertainer-01/). I tried to explain everything there. If that is not satisfactory for you. I can answer with a follow-up here.

Thanks for your interest in Entertainer, please report any bugs that you find.

free2rhume45, this is a dependency error that seems specific to your system. Entertainer will not work until you get the dependencies problems resolved. You might want to ask the clutter developers in the their IRC channel (http://clutter-project.org/contribute.html) or check their bug tracker to see if this is a known issue. What distribution are you running, Ubuntu, or something else? I would suggest looking around for anything describing clutter and fusion-icon problems.

i got it to work thanx alot

After installing all of the dependencies and double checking that I'm not missing any of them I still got an error, turns out I was missing python-cddb which you guys didn't mention in your Dependencies file ;)

But right now it keeps telling me that my clutter version is too old while apt-get tells me I have the newest version.. any ideas?

never mind was able to fix it by adding the Clutter repository. For anyone who's interested just do

- echo "deb http://debian.o-hand.com gutsy/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

replacing gutsy with whatever version you have

- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install python-clutter

Now I'm getting when I start the backend it just says Entertainer backend starting... and when I run the frontend I get

Couldn't connect to the backend server. Execution aborted!
Make sure that Entertainer backend server is up and running.

any ideas?

kritikal, can you run the backend with the command `./entertainer-backend.py --foreground` and see if this produces any errors in the terminal? If so, can you file a bug?

As you can probably guess from the flag name, this will run the backend in the foreground of your terminal instead of daemonizing it and turning it into a "true" background process. From there, any errors in the backend should give proper tracebacks that could be handy in debugging your problem.

Thanks.
