Trouble running Aldrin on Ubuntu 9.04

[djauto23]

On Ubuntu 9.04 I get this, both when installed from source and when using the deb packages for 8.10:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/aldrin", line 20, in <module>
import aldrin.main
ImportError: No module named aldrin.main

Have tried running with "python /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/aldrin/main.py", but then i get "Aborted (core dumped)". I've also tried that command with python2.5 (python2.5-minimal ubuntu package), with the same result.

Any ideas for anything else worth trying will be greatly appreciated.

to get rid of the import error do this:
add "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages" (or w/e is that dir called on you system) to ~/.profile file.

Not sure why are you getting a core dump though.

i have a similar error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin/com.py", line 89, in load_packages
module_ = __import__(modulename)
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/contextmenu.py", line 36, in <module>
from router import SignalAnalysisDialog
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/router.py", line 52, in <module>
from presetbrowser import PresetView
File "/usr/local/share/aldrin/components/presetbrowser.py", line 29, in <module>
from utils import prepstr, filepath, db2linear, linear2db, is_debug, filenameify, \
ImportError: No module named utils

and tried export pythonPATH on .profile, though didnt work

any idea plz?

I had a similar problem when I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. The problem is that in ubuntu python packages are installed in /usr/python2.6/dist-packages or /usr/local/python2.6/dist-packages. I will submit a patch to fix this installation issue as soon as possible.

Meanwhile you can fix aldrin like this:
Look where you have aldrin python packages installed it can be:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aldrin
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/aldrin
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/aldrin

Then modify the file /usr/bin/aldrin or /usr/local/bin/aldrin (you need to be root for this (run gedit with sudo)) and add this line before the line "import aldrin.main":
sys.path = ["/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages"]+sys.path
Substitute "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages" with the actual directory where the aldrin python package is installed.
Save the file and now aldrin should be running OK.

I hope that helps.

I add the patch here as bitbucket messes the text:

Seems like it's not only the path issue which hinders aldrin from running on 9.04. It begins loading, but crashes at some point while loading the plugins. Can this have something to do with armstrong?

I can't help you with the backtraces, I am quite proficient with python but my c/c++ knowledge is very basic.
However, aldrin runs fine in my Ubuntu 9.04 installation, in a 32-bit machine. I rebuilt packages from gimmeapill repository to install in my machine in 9.04 and aldrin loads fine and plays tunes. I can upload the packages if you want.
btw, gimmeapill: I can also upload the patch to make the Ubuntu 9.04 packages

[djauto23]

Yes please!

Thanks a bunch! That worked great!

Funny, though, that the previous attempts didn't work. I tried both compiling it from source, and the binary packages for 8.10 by gimmeapill.
