Ubuntu 7.10 90% of libprs500 install...
Hi All,
My PRS505 SC comes tomorrow morning in the post - missed todays delivery (Edit : I GOT IT ! I GOT IT !) I'm using ubuntu 7.10 fresh install, up to date and I'm trying to install libprs500. first part of Installing prs-500 is a breeze (copy and paste instructions for ubuntu 7.10) but running "libprs500_postinstall" gives me an error : #sudo libprs500_postinstall Trying to setup udev rules... /bin/sh: /etc/init.d/hald: not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/libprs500_postinstall", line 8, in <module> load_entry_point('libprs500==0.4.16', 'console_scripts', 'libprs500_postinstall')() File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/linux.py", line 222, in post_install File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/linux.py", line 207, in setup_udev_rules File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 461, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '/etc/init.d/hald restart' returned non-zero exit status 127 Trying to find hald gave me : # locate hald /var/cache/hald /usr/sbin/hald among other things hald is running : # ps -A|grep hal 4866 ? 00:00:01 hald 4867 ? 00:00:00 hald-runner 4934 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-keyb 4936 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-keyb 4937 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-keyb 4938 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-keyb 4956 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-acpi 5001 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-stor To try a shortcut I created a symlink to /etc/init.d/hal called /etc/init.d/hald and libprs500_postinstall then worked a bit until another stop : # libprs500_postinstall Trying to setup udev rules... * Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ] Setting up bash completion... done Setting up desktop integration... Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed WARNING: You need PyQt >= 4.3.1 for the GUI to work. You have 4.3 I have PyQt version 4.3-2ubuntu7, python 2.5.1 Do I need to compile PyQt 4.3.1 manually or something ? If anyone understood my ravings, please help 8) Last edited by knewbie; 10-30-2007 at 07:13 AM. |

You're fine. The lower version of PyQt will still allow libprs500 to work in Ubuntu; however, you will get a crash if you try to batch-convert books using the GUI.

I can confirm similar problems. I did the symlink and lrf viewer fails most of the time, libprs500 is mostly working though. I am running 7.10 64bit with the ubuntu PyQt 4.3 packages. I figured I would just wait until ubuntu upgraded as I can do pretty much everything I need to with the command line.

upgrading pyqt from source
I've done the upgrade from source after finding out that none of the proposed or backported Ubuntu packages would do the job. Both pyqt and sip needed to be upgraded.
Nothing has broken that I've noticed. And the upgrade does not fix all the problems with libprs500. Your mileage may vary, of course. -- rec -- |
