[opensuse] smart --gui complains about missing gtk python interface

Cannot get smart gui to run on OpenSuSE 10.3 x86_64 Currently kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default but this was like that since beta 2 # smart --gui error: System has no support for gtk python interface # rpm -q gtk2 gtk python python-gtk smart smart-gui smart-ksmarttray gtk2-2.12.0-10 gtk-1.2.10-993 python-2.5.1-39 python-gtk-2.12.0-14 smart-0.52-21 smart-gui-0.52-21 smart-ksmarttray-0.52-21 smart on cli runs fine though. # uname -r 2.6.22.13-0.3-default OpenSuSE 10.3 x86_64 downgrading smart to 0.52-5.1 did not help, still same error: # smart install gtk2 gtk python python-gtk smart smart-gui smart-ksmarttray Loading cache...

smart on cli runs fine though.

downgrading smart to 0.52-5.1 did not help, still same error:

Tried downgrading all smart again to 0.51-56, which runs fine on my 32 bit desktop, but it did not help too. # smart install smart-0.51-5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Found the solution here: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=3&t=6... Quote: ================================= Posted by: Tom Ronalds Nov 19 2007, 10:40 AM OK, problem solved! -- Just in case this may assist someone in the future... I tried several approaches, including one click install of Smart, as Geoff suggested earlier. No go. So eventually I remembered that sometimes on 64-bit systems, weird errors can come up which are not picked up as dependency issues, when a 32-bit package is installed where there should be a 64-bit one. Incidentally, this is one thing Smart tends to do when one is not paying attention - it will offer to upgrade a 64-bit package with the new one being 32-bit. So I ran the following command: rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' | grep i586 and amongst the results there was <python-gobject2-2.14.0-9.1.i586.rpm> Bingo! sudo rpm -e --nodeps python-gobject2 smart install python-gobject2 Installing packages (1): python-gobject2-2.14.0-9.1@x86_64 smart --gui Good as new! :-) Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. Persistence clearly pays off again! Cheers, Tom Ronalds ================================= Thanks, Tom, this was it, I have my SMART GUI back! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
