daemon connection timeout
I have been trying to install gdesklets on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with an up to date Ubuntu 7.10
I installed it using "sudo apt-get install gdesklets" --no problems there
when attempting to run the program I get this error.
$ gdesklets
Starting gdesklets-daemon...
Connecting to daemon [### ]You need a recent version of PyGTK to run this program.
Cannot establish connection to daemon: connection timeout
The log file might help in solving the problem.
-- The log file is empty.
The python files are up to date but it looks like for some reason python cannot find many of the modules that it should.
/usr/lib/pygtk/2.0$ python pygtk-demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pygtk-demo.py", line 18, in ?
import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject
the same Import Error happens with gtk & pygtk
This same problem happened in Feisty, I wound up wiping the drive and reinstalling everything, but the new install didn't help.
more interesting is that I cannot reproduce this on any other computers running ubuntu 7.10 (upgraded from 7.04) and kubuntu 7.04.
after an extensive search of the forums I decided to try posting here... any help would be greatly appreciated
