I have the slideshow shuffle plugin installed for Eye of Gnome. This used to work, but I just recently noticed that now it doesn’t. It has been a while since I last used it, so I don’t know when it broke.
Installed:
S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository
---+-----------------------------+---------+-----------------+--------+------------------------
i+ | eog | package | 49.1-1.2 | x86_64 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss

i+ | eog-plugin-exif-display | package | 44.1-1.5 | x86_64 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
i+ | eog-plugin-slideshowshuffle | package | 44.1-1.5 | x86_64 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
i+ | eog-plugins | package | 44.1-1.5 | x86_64 | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
i+ | eog-plugins-data | package | 44.1-1.5 | noarch | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
i+ | eog-plugins-lang | package | 44.1-1.5 | noarch | openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
In Preferences, the plugin shows that it cannot be enabled, with an error:
Sadly, the error text is only shown as a mouse-over popup, so I can’t get a screenshot of it. The text is:
The plugin Slideshow Shuffle could not be loaded. An error occurred: Plugin loader “python3” was not found.
“Not found” seems to not be completely true, it’s really that the Python plugin returns an error and won’t load.
The plugin file (/usr/lib64/eog/plugins/slideshowshuffle.plugin) contains:
[Plugin]
Loader=python3
Module=slideshowshuffle
The plugin Python code errors out here:
from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk, Eog
with this:
/usr/lib64/eog/plugins/slideshowshuffle.py:18: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '4.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk, Eog
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/eog/plugins/slideshowshuffle.py", line 18, in <module>
from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk, Eog
File "/usr/lib64/python3.13/site-packages/gi/importer.py", line 130, in create_module
raise ImportError(
f"cannot import name {namespace}, introspection typelib not found"
)
ImportError: cannot import name Eog, introspection typelib not found
Google suggests that I’m missing something called typelib-1_0-Eog-3_0 that provides “GObject introspection bindings”, but I can find no reference to any such RPM actually existing. Google also suggests that typelib-1_0-Gtk* provides the needed GObject introspection bindings, but those are installed:
S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository
---+----------------------------+---------+-------------+--------+------------------
i | typelib-1_0-Gtk-3_0 | package | 3.24.51-1.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages)
i | typelib-1_0-Gtk-4_0 | package | 4.20.3-1.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages)
There is clearly something that it’s not happy about, but I’ve not been able to find a useful reference point to dig any further.
Anybody know what I’m missing here?
