Pitivi doesn't start

English Applications

Hi,

I get an error message when I run pitivi 0.14.2 from the command line:

(“PyGTK couldn’t be found !”, ‘could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object)’)

Running it from the application window it of course doesn’t start at all nor gives any error messages.

How can I get it to run?

Thanks.

Where did you get the rpm from ? Its not in the standard repositories (OSS, non-OSS, Update). Nor is it in packman. Possibly from some Gnome repos ? Beware of packages whose spec files are incomplete for pulling in all required dependencies. You could contact the rpm packager !

Also, my apologies for asking the obvious (so no flames please), but I think it needs to be asked. … Since the error is telling you it can not find “PyGTK”, did you look to see if that was installed ? “Py” stands for python.

… so look for a package called ‘python-gtk’ and see if that is installed. … Again, I don’t use piviti, I’m simply reading the error message you posted.

To add to @oldcpu’s info: on messages like that, open Software Management, search for “pygtk” with the option “RPM provides” checked. That indeed brings up the package “python-gtk” in this case.

I added all community repos. Most likely it got it from the Pacman repo.

Yes I have python-gtk installed. And pygtk which is within one of the installed python packages.

I installed in addition some the devel packages that the search “pygtk” with “RPM provides” has. But no luck.
