How to make Caffeine work ?

English Applications
1

I installed Caffeine application then I discovered it requires to manually install python-xdg which I then installed but still Caffeine doesn’t work properly. It runs but I can’t use the popup menu to change settings or close it.

When I launch it from the terminal I get this message:

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:46: RuntimeWarning: You have imported the Gtk 2.0 module. Because Gtk 2.0 was not designed for use with introspection some of the interfaces and API will fail. As such this is not supported by the pygobject development team and we encourage you to port your app to Gtk 3 or greater. PyGTK is the recomended python module to use with Gtk 2.0
warnings.warn(warn_msg, RuntimeWarning)
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for AppIndicator3

I tried to uninstall Caffeine using “zypper remove -u caffeine” and reinstalled python-xdg before installing caffeine again but the problem persists.

I also have an opensuse 12.3 on virtualbox and there Caffeine works fine. The thing is there I had preinstalled GNOME desktop and other packages and python-xdg had also been installed prior to installing caffeine.

Does anyone know what is the problem, is that a dependency problem or a botched installation that needs fixing ?

But you did not tell what the openSUSE version is on the box where you have the problem. :frowning:

I tried to uninstall Caffeine using “zypper remove -u caffeine” and
reinstalled python-xdg before installing caffeine again but the problem
persists.

Hi
Is typelib-1_0-Gtk-2_0 and python-gobject installed, the AppIndicator3
error can be ignored.

OK I I have found the missing piece, you basically zeroed in on it malcolmlewis. I needed to install **typelib-1_0-Gtk-3_0 .

**​Thanks guys.
