Hi I solved the problem but ran into a new (but smaller) one I only removed ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/ ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins_cache
I am now able to work with version 0.5.29 and debug and code, but only in the Kleenex-way (use once and throw away :-), because Elisa will download plugins (and eggs) for version 0.5.32. The second time I run it will not be my own code that is executed. If I remove the files again it works fine. Best Regards, Kristian Lippert From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 01:11:51 +0100 CC: [email protected] Subject: [Elisa] Running and debugging a development branch of Elisa Hi Philippe I removed the official release (it is gone in /usr/lib....) so I'm only running code from the development branch on my Elisa-Box - great! I also moved the elisa_plugin_poblesec.egg-info/ from ~/develop/elisa/elisa-current/elisa-plugins$ to :~/develop/elisa/elisa-current/tmp/ I then run Elisa with cd ~/develop/elisa/elisa-current/ export PGM_GL_FPS=60 export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/elisa-core:$PWD/elisa-plugins python elisa-core/bin/elisa Problem: I do not seem to get any poblesec/player_video.pyc generated when doing any playback, and my breakpoints in player_video.py are not being activated. I also tried to remove all the eggs from ~/.elisa_0.5/plugins but that made the Elisa "throw up" exception like a teenager at his first party :-) After deleting, it started with version 0.5.29 and 0.5.29 for the plugins (and not with 0.5.32 as of the current release) and then just a black screen (and a lot of excpetions) What am I missing? It seems like there must be some kind of pre-compiled version of the player_video.py file somewhere. My lack of python knowledge must seem obvious now :-) because I do not really understand the "egg"-concept Best Regards, Kristian Lippert > Subject: RE: [Elisa] My weekly cry for help:-) How to put image in player > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 10:50:41 +0100 > > Kristian, > > If you're using Ubuntu: > > sudo apt-get remove --purge python-elisa elisa > elisa-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} > > apt-get would suggest you to remove the unused dependencies, just answer > no. > > Also be sure to check there's no /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa* > > Philippe > > Le mardi 17 mars 2009 à 20:53 +0100, Kristian Lippert a écrit : > > Hi Phillippe > > What command do you use to uninstall the systemwide version, so you > > don't uninstall the necessary dependent packages? > > Best Regards, > > Kristian Lippert > > > > > Subject: Re: [Elisa] My weekly cry for help:-) How to put image in > > player > > > From: [email protected] > > > To: [email protected] > > > CC: [email protected]; [email protected] > > > Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:15:07 +0100 > > > > > > When I do development I always uninstall a system-wide version of > > the > > > software. > > > > > > And there's this bug too: > > > > > > https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/elisa/+bug/255739 > > > > > > Philippe > > > > > > Le mardi 17 mars 2009 à 15:56 +0100, Olivier Tilloy a écrit : > > > > Kristian Lippert a écrit : > > > > > Hi > > > > > I have elisa plugins in > > > > > ~/development/elisa/elisa-current (development branch) > > > > > and > > > > > in the root file system (official install) > > > > > + > > > > > i have my own plugin in > > > > > ~/development/elisa/elisa-myplugin > > > > > > > > So you don't have any plugin in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/ ? > > > > > > > > If you are running elisa from a development branch in > > > > ~/development/elisa/elisa-current, then only the plugins in > > > > ~/development/elisa/elisa-current and those in > > ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/ > > > > should be used.
