Error while starting couple of screenlets.

[sweetthdevil]

Hi,

I updated screenlets to 0.0.9 and install Nowplaying and Weather. But I'm having couple of issues;

Nowplaying : Start well, but doesn't show any information neither from Amarok, Listen or VLC but does show the informations from Rythmbox. I did install python-dcop, any idea to fix this issue?

Weather : I install weather, and it does start from nautillus, but does remember any setting, and give me couple of error when start from the termial, however it does start from the terminal, but as now skin. Here is the terminal message.

Many thanks for your help.

Please do not install third-party screenlets into the global directory. Just copy their folders into $HOME/.screeenlets.

The clock seems to not find its correct theme, moving the theme to $HOME/.screenlets/Clock/themes/<theme_name> should solve that.

The WeatherScreenlet seems to be for the old version, make sure you download the version for 0.0.9.

And I am not sure if NowPlaying suports all the given backends ... I can have a look at its code to see what it supports.

:)

Many thank for your prompt answer!
However i do not have a file /home/sweeth/.screenlets might that be the reason?

Edit; Couple of error while unzipping the file as well, could it be possible to post them somewhere else?

[RYX]

Sorry, I meant the directory "$HOME/.screenlets/" :) ... If it doesn't exist, just create it manually.

I am heavily working on the screenlets website and it is almost finished. It will simplify finding and distributing third-party screenlets. Until then you have to use the screenlets that are available from the posts in this Screenlet-subforum ...

:)

Many thanks, creating the folder and installing the screenlets there solve the probleme for weather, however Nowplaying now does take the information from Amarok, but still nothing from Listen, the one i'm using... It seem i don't have the them titan-white..
