You are missing the rsvg library.

We already had this here: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?p=22687#post22687

Hope this helps...

Hi Be_Linux!

Which version of pygtk do you use? You can find it out like this:python -c "import gtk; print gtk.pygtk_version"

If the first two parts are not 2, 10 then you may have a too old pygtk version running.

Otherwise you could try adding those two lines at line 20 in screenlets-manager.py:import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')

They should fix at least one of the above errors.

:)

thank you for fast answer

Which version of pygtk do you use?
(2, 8, 6)

adding those two lines at line 20 in screenlets-manager.py
They should fix at least one of the above errors.

i removed beryl 0.2.0 and installed compiz ,when i trying to typ screenlets-manager i got this on the screen
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 23, in ?
import screenlets
ImportError: No module named screenlets

I am afraid you need to update your pygtk version to at least 2.10 to be able to run the screenlets.

[Be_Linux]

now i got the old messeg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/screenlets/Clock/ClockScreenlet.py", line 17, in ?
import screenlets
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/screenlets/__init__.py", line 33, in ?
import rsvg
ImportError: No module named rsvg

i installed librsvg2-2 and librsvg-common

[RYX]

Do you have python-gnome2-desktop for your python version (2.4) installed? You need the python-bindings for librsvg and they are unfortunately bundled into that package.

i installed python-gnome2-desktop and python-gnome2-desktop-dev
when i typ screenlets-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 24, in ?

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
please elp me to solve this proplem
i'm in this proplem from three dayes ago and i can't find any answer at any site or irc server

I think this (http://www.nabble.com/RSVG-Bindings-t3621900.html) answers your question. The rsvg bindings for python are included since gnome version 2.15. Debian Etch ships with gnome 2.14 so you have no rsvg-bindings in the python-gnome2-desktop package.

You have to update to gnome 2.16 to use the screenlets. Or you download the source-tarball for the python-gnome2-desktop package and strip out everythig except the rsvg-bindings and then compile them individually.

(Or you write a kind mail to the gnome-devs, politely asking if they could put the rsvg-bindings into a separate package ... If enough people do it then maybe we have a chance to convince them :))

Hi, I had same issue on Ubuntu-Gutsy and after trying all suggestions above mentioned, I found a fix on by installing ' sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-desktop', run screenlets-manager after that, it works!

Hope that helps.

Try /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders. If you see the svg loader, than you have to do this:

/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

GTK must be informed about svg loader presence and this is done by writing the output of gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders into the gdk-pixbuf.loaders

Hope this helps. It did for me.
