Installation on Mageia2 (KDE)?

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Sorry for not answering any earlier.

This line is indicative of trouble:
/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points'

An entry point a way to start the application. At the moment the only entry point that works is the one for the console, /usr/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader. On Gentoo+KDE, I'm starting it by having put it into the Autostart (in the System Settings). There is no menu item that will appear in any menu currently.

Hi,
I thought this thread had been closed or something like that. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my problem. I didn't understand your suggestion. What is it that I should do? I'm not sure if I have a folder/directory called Autostart, in my system. Also, if no menu entry appears, then how do I launch the application?

Actually, have you tried RescueTime's official Linux client lately? Use the RPM package. The last version works surprisingly well.

Use "Add Script" to add /usr/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader.

Using "Run Command..."

I've tried the RPM package from their official web page but when I double click on the package to start installing it, I get an error "due to unsatisfied qt-x11". Do you know what that means?

It means, you need to install "qt-x11" as well.

If you're using KDE, you'll have QT already installed. In this case it could be that the name of the package in Mageia2 is different. I could not find it out using Google just now, unfortunately.

What desktop environment are you using?

If you're using KDE, could you please run in a terminal window ("Konsole", etc) the command below and paste/attach the output here. That will tell us the names of all installed packages that have the text "qt" in it.

rpm -qa|grep qt

---END-CODE---

Ok, I ended up installing mageia2 over here. Here comes the (hopefully) ultimate solution:

Login as "root" and then type the following command:

rpm -i --nodeps /tmp/rescuetime_current_amd64.rpm

This will install rescuetime disregarding all dependencies, as QT for X11 is really already installed in your case. You may have to replace "amd64" by "i386", if you're on 32bit. Generally, typing /tmp/resc and then pressing TAB should do the trick.
