glib.GError at startup

[grafithaka]

Hi,

I'm running Slamd64 and I just tried installing guake-0.3.1 and ran into a problem I've no idea how to solve.

bash-3.1$ guake
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/guake/guake.py", line 1180, in <module>
    g = Guake()
  File "/usr/lib/guake/guake.py", line 605, in __init__
    n.show()
glib.GError: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127

Thats the error I'm getting. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Georg

I'm not sure, but I think this problem is not being caused by guake's code but for something bellow it. I'll investigate more and try to find something to help.

I would go for a dependency issue

How did you install it ?

[grafithaka]

Slackbuild I wrote for guake

[grafithaka]

Well I installed it by building it from source. I took care of all the paths which need to be set differently in Slamd64, as you can see in the slackbuild I've wrote (attached it). For the dependencies I took the packages from gonmeslackbuild, they're stable so there shouldnt be a problem, configuring and compiling worked fine without errors.

If there's any further information I can provide please let me know.

With help from irc, we've found out that notify-python (aka 'pynotify') is causing the problem. There's no workaround so far but as its no directly guake-related problem this bug's closed.
