RescueTime Linux Uploader

rescuetime v99 not installing in ubuntu 10.04

Asked by Mark Dwyer on 2010-08-16

From v99, I am running:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

but /usr/local/bin is empty.

python setup.py build returns:

/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points'
warnings.warn(msg)
running build
running build_py

sudo python setup.py install returns:

/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points'
warnings.warn(msg)
running install
running build
running build_py
running install_lib
running install_egg_info
Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/RescueTimeUploader-unknown.egg-info
Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/RescueTimeUploader-unknown.egg-info

Note - this removing/writing might be because this was my second attempt to install. Both attempts followed exactly the same procedure, I just did not capture the output the first time.

I have "resuetime" files in
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages, but not rescuetime_linux_uploader. Instead all the files here are .py and .pyc files.

WIthout the rescuetime_linux_uploader, I don't know how to start recording data.

Following comments from briancgraham for question 109008 (https://answers.launchpad.net/rescuetime-linux-uploader/+question/109008)

  First, note that the .egg file in the v99 distribution is:

    setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

  which seems to be the right version.

  I noticed though that 0.6c11 is not listed in

    ez_setup.py

  so I followed the directions given by briancgraham in the answers page above and
  downloaded the version:

   http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

  which does include an entry for the 0.6c11 version.

  I then ran the missing command (not included as far as I can tell in
  the README file with v99)

    sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

  Next running first python command as root (different from README
  file):

  sudo python setup.py build

  This produced no warnings (in contrast to my previous attempt), just returned:

   running build
   running build_py

  Then ran install command:

   sudo python setup.py install

  which produced a great deal of output, including writes to
  /usr/local/bin:

   /usr/local/bin/easy_install
   /usr/local/bin/easy_install-2.6
   /usr/local/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader
   /usr/local/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_controller
   /usr/local/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_notifier
   /usr/local/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_window

  Thanks briancgraham!

  Q: what do the easy_install files do?

I understand you solved your problem but I am still having problems.

I followed your instruction but this is what I got (posting the Terminal's workout):

Can you please help me out?
I have downloaded the package to my /home/pooja folder and then started by following the README file. When I got stuck I turned to this page. I'm at loss, now. Please help.
Thank you.

Hi, again!
Can someone please help me install this software please?
I previously posted the details of the Terminal. I tried following Mark Dwyker's tweaks but to no avail.

dmahlow (d-mahlow-gmail) said : #4

Did you properly replace the file ez_setup.py from within the rescuetime-linux-uploader directory with the file Mark Dwyker provided (http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py)?
