Xorg, LXDE, VNC, and KDE apps

[jambo]

Having sworn off Quicken and unable to find any OSX app that satisfied my requirements, I want to use kmymoney for recording household finances. I'm trying to set up my TonidoPlug as a simple headless Linux server where both my sweetie and I can access our joint records in kmymoney remotely.

System: TonidoPlug booting from a fresh install of Arch Linux ARM (6/16/2011), updated with pacman -Syu to kernel26 (2.6.39.1-1), on a 8GB USB stick inserted directly into the plug

I succeeded in installing xorg and and LXDE and tightvnc on my plug (in addition to the relevant pages on Arch Linux ARM.com and wiki.archlinux.org, the Installing X11 page at computingplugs.com [http://computingplugs.com/index.php/Installing_X11] was very helpful after translating from apt-get to pacman and installing the entire xorg package in place of X11). ~/.vnc/xstartup is configured to automatically start LXDE when I log in and it works from a Mac (Chicken VNC) or Windows XP (TightVNC).

So far, so good--until I tried to add kmymoney, a KDE package, which is not in the Arch Linux ARM repository. After installing abs, using the PKGBUILD for kmymoney generates an error that it depends on kdebase-workspace, which depends on kdebindings-python, which in abs is combined with kdebindings-csharp, kdebindings-ruby, and kdebindings-smoke in a PKGBUILD called kdebindings. When I run makepkg --asroot -Acs from /var/abs/extra/kdebindings, this is the entire report:

==> Making package: kdebindings 4.6.3-1 (Fri Jun 17 18:50:42 MDT 2011)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: python2-pyqt
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

Trying pacman -S python2-pyqt generates an error: target not found

This problem seems to have appeared in the transition from python2 to python3 and is not unique to Arch Linux ARM (see "pyqt packages confusion" at http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ ... 19925.html and "python2-pyqt depends on python3" at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=932919 and "can't find PKGBUILD of python2-pyqt" at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119819)

Trying the pyqt PKGBUILD mentioned in the "can't find PKGBUILD of python2-pyqt" thread generated an error of "Failed to determine the layout of your Qt installation."

Trying the 2 PKGBUILD files from the "python2-pyqt depends on python3" thread also generated errors.

I was able to install a GTK+ app (leafpad) and some gnome apps (gnumeric and gnucash) from the Arch Linux ARM repository and these work correctly in LXDE, but I couldn't find any KDE apps that work. I installed kdepim from the Arch Linux ARM repository with no reported errors and the components appeared in the LXDE menu, but none worked. When I tried to install koffice-meta-koffice from the repository, I got an error message and the install failed. Running makepkg on /var/abs/extra/kdebase also resulted in missing dependency kdebase-workspace.

Please help! How can I get this problem wih python2-pyqt sorted out? I'm eager to take the next step of installing kdebase-workspace so I can descend to the next layer of dependency hell.

Thanks!

This might get you out of trouble
pacman -Sf setuptools
easy_install-2.7 pip
pip install pyqt
Now remove dependancy out of PKGBUILD

Thanks for the prompt suggestion. I followed the instructions and got an error message. Here's the complete text from terminal:

I'm new at linux, so I really don't know how to troubleshoot a problem like this. What's the next step that I should take?

Thanks!

[pepedog]

I don't know if this will get you further, but Arch Linux ARM has pip so it's best to use that, and you will have to force
pacman -Sf python-pip

python2-pyqt is in archlinux extra, you could try to build (then install) with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S abs
abs
cd /var/abs/extra/python2-pyqt
makepkg -Acs --asroot
Then install')

abs is all PKGBUILDS's and files for extra/core/community (what you see here http://www.archlinux.org/packages/)
yaort for aur (what you see here https://aur.archlinux.org/)

[jambo]

Thanks for again suggesting some troubleshooting steps, pepedog. As I understand it, python2-pyqt and pyqt are both compiled by the abs package pyqt. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the PKGBUILD for pyqt:

Running through the dependencies one-by-one, they all installed using pacman -S xxxx except python-sip, which returned the same list of error message as makepkg.

Running makepkg again after installing all the dependencies except python-sip produced this result:

So now the error message is different, which might be progress or might not.

I forced an install of python-sip using pacman -Sf python-sip and ran makepkg which returned:
Error: This version of PyQt requires SIP v4.12.2 or later

python-sip is v4.12.1, so I forced a reinstall of python2-sip, which is v4.12.2

makepkg still returns the same error: This version of PyQt requires SIP v4.12.2 or later

In addition, I redownloaded the abs files and rebooted my TonidoPlug, and the error message for makepkg was still the same:
This version of PyQt requires SIP v4.12.2 or later

Any suggestions on next steps?

Thanks!

[pepedog]

I can see packages being install which are python2 and python (which is python 3)
I would have only expect that one is required.

[jambo]

Yes, I would expect that only one python would be required, but here's line 13 from the PKGBUILD for /var/abs/extra/sip:
makedepends=('python' 'python2')

I updated my system and version 4.12.3 of sip and python2-sip was installed. Running makepkg on pyqt again resulted in the old error:
Failed to determine the layout of your Qt installation.

python-sip remained at v4.12.1, so I removed it. The result from makepkg on pyqt was the same.

Thanks!

[pepedog]

I don't know what type of plug you have, I have a trimslice that I tried on (armv7), ahh just spotted you have a TonidoPlug and package pyqt3 is there

My system had no form of python installed, so I the installed python and python2,
sip-4.12.3-1-armv7.pkg.tar.xz
python2-sip-4.12.3-1-armv7.pkg.tar.xz
all built and installed ok
Am 2 1/2 hours into build of pyqt. Don't know what versions(s) it will build yet
Edit, it built pyqt-4.8.4-1-armv7.pkg.tar.xz python2-pyqt-4.8.4-1-armv7.pkg.tar.xz

Maybe you should remove and install qt and qt3 then try again?
A pacman -Syu followed by abs wouldn't hurt either

[jambo]

Thanks for reporting on your successful build of pyqt and python2-pyqt. I started over from scratch on my TonidoPlug using the files from the new archlinuxarm.org website. While looking at the new site, I saw on the "Building Packages" page for Developers a list of packages that needed to be installed. I had 3 of the 4, so I installed the missing one, base-devel.

I don't know what made the difference, but this time I was able to build and install pyqt and python2-pyqt.

Flush with success, I descended into the next level of dependency hell by trying to building kdebindings-python (a split package combined with kdebindings-smoke, kdebindings-csharp, and kdebindings-ruby in the master package of kdebindings). Here's the PKGBUILD:

AFAIK, I need only kdebindings-python, so I also tried using makepkg -Acs --asroot --pkg kdebindings-python, which created the exact same line-by-line results.

I searched for "SOPRANO_INDEX_LIBRARIES" and "soprano-sharp" on archlinuxarm.org and archlinux.org with absolutely no results returned. A general Google search for those terms did not yield any information that helped with troubleshooting. The error message pointed to the CMakeList.txt file on /var/abs/extra/kdebindings/src/kdebindings-4.6.3/csharp/soprano, which contained:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PROJECT(soprano-sharp)

(As a side note, I do have polkit-qt 0.99.0-1 installed, so I don't know why that optional package was not found)

There seems to be 2 possible solutions: create a custom PKGBUILD that builds only kdebindings-python or solve the problem with soprano-sharp. Unfortunately, my Linux skills are rudimentary and I don't know how to tackle either of those projects. Any suggestions on next steps or alternative approaches?

BTW, I am happy to share privately the builds that I created for pyqt and python2-pyqt. After I get kmymoney working, I'll upload all the builds so they are publicly available.

Thanks!

[kmihelich]

Didn't realize pyqt got jammed up in our autobuilder. Corrected that issue and it's packaged. The rest of the packages that depend on it, and that others depend on, will be built and in the repo sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.
