Hello,

i'am a Ubuntu (Karmic 9.10) and Gnome (2.28.1) user and looking for a Mediacenter. I downloaded entertainer source and next i want to install it with "python setup.py install" and run into a mistake:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
    translations_generator.update_mos()
  File "/home/mnelle/Öffentlich/entertainer/tools/translations_generator.py", line 116, in update_mos
    call(['msgfmt', po, '-o', mo_out])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 470, in call
    return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 621, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1126, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Could you help please??

Greetings Marcus

Marcus,

Thanks for your interest in Entertainer. Unfortunately, Entertainer does not currently run in Karmic because of some major changes that occurred in the underlying toolkit that we use (called clutter).

Your problem seems unrelated to those issues that I've been finding, but if you got beyond your current issue, you'd still run into problems. The traceback that you've listed seems to indicate that a file is missing that is supposed to come out of the translation generation process.

If you'd like, you can file a bug report and provide some information about it. My first guess would be that there is a problem somewhere because of the non-ASCII characters in your file path. But that's a total guess right now.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
   Maybe you could try "apt-get install quilt" to resolve this problem.

Thx,
Gookey

Gookey,

Entertainer does not use quilt (which is a patch system unrelated to `python setup.py install`). The version that Marcus ran is broken in the install process, but even the most recent version of Entertainer (on the "future" branch) is broken for Karmic because of the clutter reason that I mentioned in my first response. Marcus' most direct problem is related to Bug #487855 and the more important clutter problem is Bug #441515. Without fixing Entertainer's use of clutter, the UI looks terrible in Karmic (actually, it won't even run without some serious effort).

Matt,
    When I port entertainer 0.4.2 to my ARM platform whose base is also jaunty, I have the same problem during launching setup.py install. Then after I install quilt, the problem is resolved. I am afraid that this issue may be not caused by Karmic update.

Gookey,

My guess is that some dependency that got installed while installing indirectly helped install Entertainer on your ARM platform. I don't know enough about quilt to know what it might have inadvertently pulled in. I don't doubt that it worked for you, I just can't claim that quilt was the direct solution.
