Error when trying to run Solaar: "unknown signal name: shutdown"

English Applications
#1

I installed Solaar on openSUSE 12.1 by building from the source rpm that I downloaded at software.opensuse.org (this one: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lemmy04/openSUSE_12.3/src/Solaar-0.9.2-6.1.src.rpm ) and running the commands:

> rpmbuild --rebuild Solaar-0.9.2-6.1.src.rpm
> su
root:> zypper install Solaar-0.9.2-6.1.noarch.rpm

That all ran without error.

Then I tried running solaar and got the error:

solaar: error: <Application object at 0xa4a6e0 (GtkApplication at 0xa8e800)>: unknown signal name: shutdown

What is causing this? How do i fix it?

Hi
12.1? I probably won’t work with the versions available, did you
install/rebuild python-pyudev?

No. The only thing it said it needed was fdupes which I installed. I’ll look for python-pyudev.

#4

I checked and it was already installed:

python-pyudev version 0.15-21.1

Hi
Something is missing from the gtk side I would guess that’s in a later
version. If you look at the spec file and see the requires, these are
all installed?

My build is a bit different, but only using on 13.1.

It requires this:

Requires: python-pyudev udev
Requires: python-gtk
Requires: libgirepository-1_0-1 python-gobject python-gobject2
Requires: typelib(Gtk) >= 3.0

From looking through YAST-Software, it appears I have all of those, HOWVER, while I have “gtk3-data”, it appears to be missing “gtk3-engine”. Could that be it? Where would I get that?

#7

I don’t know but if you search in Yast and tick the provides box i will pick up libs that are part of a more general package name assuming it is some where in the repos.
