Run it from a terminal, and post the output. Also, please post help requests to the liquid weather forums - http://liquidweather.net/phpBB2 - this way, you're more likely to get help, and your query will be searchable for others.

Hmmm. I'm running gentoo with kde 3.5 also. It's updating fine for me. Sometimes, the first time it updates, it takes more than an hour. Please wait at least two hours before reloading to make sure that it's not just a mismatch between the .theme update time and the .py update time.

make sure you have kdialog installed. If you're using gentoo, you have to install it separately now due to the split ebuilds for kde.

You need xorg-6.8 or greater, you need kde3.4 or greater, or a composite manager of some description, and you need to turn on the composite extension in your x server. Look at the Desktop section of my website (liquidweather.net) for a more detailed explanation.

So what version of python are you using.

Karamba & Superkaramba by Matti 1797 comments

Now you've put KDE_LANG=it in your ~/.bashrc, what does:

echo $KDE_LANG

give?

In answer to your questions:

1. They are probably using different mechanisms to determine your locale.

2. Not that strange - you are setting the KDE_LANG variable before launching. The thing I don't understand is why it's not being set by your .bashrc. What distro are you using?

Matt - Oct 18 2005

Liquid Weather ++

Karamba & Superkaramba by Matti 1797 comments

When you enter KDE_LANG=it in a terminal, the variable is set for that shell. When you restart, superkaramba starts in another shell, and the variable is not set in that shell. To set it in all shells, you'll need to add it to your ~/.bashrc.

Put in a line like:

export KDE_LANG=it

Then restart kde.

Sorry for delay in responding.

Don't understand the error then.

Please open a terminal, and type:

you should then get a >>> prompt.

please type:

then:

print foo

You could try using the codecs module to encode/decode unicode strings before displaying. Only problem is you'll have to find out what encoding they're in before you can encode/decode.

I can't find any reference to /home/matt in the source code, other than in two unused functions that are currently in testing. These functions aren't being used, so I'm not sure why you were having an issue. I suspect that it was caused by something else. - Sep 20 2005

I suspect that you are using an AMD64 chip with python 2.3 and superkaramba 0.37 and trying to load an .skz file. This combo does not work. Either upgrade to python 2.4, or unpack the .skz file (it's just a zip file), and run liquid weather using the .theme file.

KDE DVDAuthor Wizard

Video Apps by meneerdik 219 comments

This is a great piece of work. DVD authoring on linux has been a nightmare for quite some time. The only reasonable option was DVDlab via wine. While this application lacks the flexibility and power of dvdlab, it is quick, easy, and produces great results when you need to make a basic dvd with a simple, but attractive menu in a hurry.

Thanks for this gem!

It's hard without any output from a terminal to debug. One possibility is that you're running an AMD64 with python 2.3. If that's the case, then you need to run python 2.4 to use .skz files. If you don't want to upgrade python, then you'll need to unpack the .skz file (it's just a zip file), and then run it using the .theme file.

Karamba & Superkaramba by Matti 1797 comments

The most likely cause is that you are using a version of liquid weather that reequires superkaramba version 0.37, and you don't have 0.37 installed. However, given that you've provided almost no useful information, it's very hard to tell. Please run it from a terminal, and email me the output - click on my name to get my email address.

You seem to have stumbled on a bug. It's the tooltips for the sky conditions that's causing it. Though I'm unsure as to why, given that the other tooltips are fine, with just as many non-ascii characters as the conditions tooltips, and the conditions in the body of the theme display without crashing. However, I've only looked at it for about 5 minutes before work, so I'll look again tonight to try and fix it.

The theme should pick up your language from the locale setting in kde. If not, set it by starting superkaramba like:

KDE_LANG=[lang] superkaramba

where [lang] is your language's two letter i18n code - so German = de, French = fr etc.

You shouldn't need to decompress it if you've got superkaramba v0.37. You should be able to double click it and it'll just run. If you don't have superkaramba v0.37, then it it won't work anyway.

It's just a zip file, so unzip it.

That doesn't make sense. Those files are temporary, and are only created while the config is shown. They are deleted everytime the config gui is closed, so they should never be there when the config gui is started - and yet I get none of these errors on my box.

Please email me the entire error message, so I can see the context.

The "config_gui=true" line should be irrelevant. I am going to fix this in the next release, but it shouldn't affect launching the config gui.

SO, please run superkaramba from a terminal, and email me the output when you click on the menu item. Then I can fix it. Your fix is not addressing the underlying problem.

Please also check out 8.1, and see if it fixes it.

Although Ryan says to use threading, I'm not sure that this will help. LWP already has threading for downloading data. There seems to be a bug in superkaramba that won't allow me to redraw the widget before the theme starts downloading data on startup, so the splash screen I have that tells you to be patient won't display. I've posted a bug report for this.

I don't think this is a major issue at the moment.
