usb creator missing python-gnome2 dependency

Confirmed on Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4 (AMD64).

Full error message is as follows:

Seems to work now in Jaunty. Unsubscribing.

Sorry. That comment was meant to be posted on a *different* bug report. :(

my installation is on an AMD64 using Mythbuntu 9.04 Alpha 6.1.

I have this bug on Kubuntu Jaunty Alpha 6

ok fixed, there is the need to add the python-gnome2 dependency

Tried today again, and doesnt work, I get a shorter ouput, but still pointing to ImportError: No module named gnomevfs, so has to do something with gnomevfs.

We are going into beta and jaunty is still a mess, i have freezings to on kubuntu.

This is working fine for me now on an up to date Jaunty. I do have a lot of various packages installed on it though, so maybe I accidently got the needed depenency.

Okay installing python-gnome2 dependency worked for me indeed, with this bug is solved, but please add it upstream and update it so when the finnaly is out there it will work without people having to google.

I don't believe the fix released...

On Kubuntu 9.04 RC:

$ usb-creator

I've tried
   $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall usb-creator
to see if there are unresolved dependecies. But there were none.

After installing python-gnome2 it worked.
I think this dependency should be added until the release of Jaunty.

Not fixed. I suspect those saying fixed run ubuntu so have the gnome dependencies anyway. On kubuntu still have the error. The usb-creator package needs to specifically depend on python-gnome2. This is not fixed and must be or kubuntu will not have the ability to do usb stick setup.

This is still not working with fully updated Jaunty.

The output produced in the terminal is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/usb-creator", line 21, in <module>
    from usbcreator.gtk_frontend import GtkFrontend
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/usbcreator/gtk_frontend.py", line 25, in <module>
    import gnomevfs
ImportError: No module named gnomevfs

Installing python-gnome2 solves the problem, but by default the system does not work.

I am running Kubuntu Jaunty - so the dependencies do not work there.

This bug in my Kubuntu 9.04 too

Hi,
This bug have 4 months old.
Is very hard add python-gnome2 as dependency of usb-creator in KUbuntu?

Regards,
Renato S. Yamane

Yes, kubuntu 9.04, confirmed, it's uncomfortable

This bug is still reproducable on Kubuntu 9.04!

Another confirmation of the problem in Jaunty x86_64 :

After i posted i noticed my default python version was set to 2.5. I changed that to 2.6 and both problems have resolved. Perhaps the python version is a factor in the others errors?

Tim, how do you change the default version of python?

This bug is still reproducable on Kubuntu 9.10 alpha 2.

i know there is work on a kde frontend. is there any way we can get a bump on this bug. took a lot of googling to find this bug, maybe up the google karma on this?

The next upload should have the KDE version in it, but this should definitely be fixed.

This bug is also in Kubuntu 9.10 (beta) as tested with a daily-live CD image.

I can confirm that the bug can be resolved by set the default python version from 2.5 to 2.6. However , there has applications that are not compatible with python 2.6 (e.g Google App Engine SDK). I think it need to rebuild the usb-creator package for python 2.5

confirmed for 9.04/amd64 - had to manually add python-gnome2 - pls set correct depencies

thx
karl

This was fixed by Roderick B. Greening in r117 (usb-creator 0.2.0). usb-creator now depends on python-gnome2.
