RescueTime Linux Uploader

add the RescueTime Applet error

Asked by LEO on 2009-05-01

system : ubuntu 9.04
i download the rescuetime-linux-uploader-93 and install follow this command:
Run "python setup.py build" then "sudo python setup.py install" to use setuptools to install the program. It will install a script into /usr/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader that allows you to run the executable from the command line. It will also install the gnome panel applet.

To run from the command line:
 Run "rescuetime_linux_uploader" and follow the instructions to enter your username and password. These will be stored in $HOME/.rescuetime/preferences, should you need to change them.

To add to your gnome panel:
 Right click on your gnome panel, click "Add to Panel..", and select "RescueTime" from the "Utility" section. Fill out your username and password, if necessary.

when i run this command "rescuetime_linux_uploader", it's ok, i can log in. but when a add the rescue time applet, it is error , it display that:The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_RescueTimeDurationApplet".
i don't why?
somebody can help me?

Hi LEO,

I got the same problem. A little investigation showed that the applet looks for rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_notifier in /usr/bin/ while the installer put that file in /usr/local/bin/

FIX: Edit rescuetime_notifier.server and rescuetime_tracker.server inside the gnome-applet folder.

In the third line change: "/usr/bin/..." to "/usr/local/bin/"

i.e. rescuetime_notifier.server would become: "/usr/local/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_notifier"

Hope that helps and that someone would fix this...

I forgot to add... after the above changes build and install again and it should work...

thank you for your help. but the problem isn't solved. i changed: "/usr/bin/..." to "/usr/local/bin/", and checked the files "rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_notifier" and "rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_controller". there are in /usr/local/bin/ . i think your method is right, but i don't know why the problem is still exist?

Hmm...I'm seeing this issue as well, but those apps are in /usr/bin just like the .server files are expecting. Cmd-line app works, as does the Ffx extension (once I built it, which the main README didn't mention, btw). But the gnome panel applet doesn't want to cooperate.

Oops...didn't realize I was "answering" the question, as I obviously didn't.

I resolved this creating hardlinks inside /usr/bin for the softwares localized in usr/local/bin. No need to rebuild it.

Zac Zheng (zac-zenpow) said : #7

Thanks Rafael! That resolved it for me. Thanks to sKAApGIF as well for finding the issue.

Can you help with this problem?
