Public bug reported:
Dear,
i was making a executable icon for pykaraoke_mini.py downloaded from github.com.
I noticed that in order to make executable work i was needed to put both full
path to python executable in Exec variable and Path variable. In oder case the
executable doesnt work.
Example:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=pyKaraoke mini
Version=0.75
Exec=~/pykaraoke-master/pykaraoke_mini.py
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Path=~/pykaraoke-master/
I was questioning it, because the pykaraoke deb packet seems to be not working.
The reason that pykaraoke doesn't want to play karaoke (.kar and .mid files) is
when i run it from terminal it gives me error message:
<type 'exceptions.IOError'>
unable to read font filename
so i guessed that python also can't find the path to the fonts used in
playing karaoke files in pykaraoke binary.
I maked a test by editing pykaraoke_mini.py lines:
font = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath,
"DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"), 12)
self.thinFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath,
"DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf"),
self.boldFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath,
"DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"), fontSize)
self.titleFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath,
"DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"), fontSize)
and
self.subtitleFont = pygame.font.Font(os.path.join(manager.FontPath,
"DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf"), fontSize)
by putting a full path to the selected fonts, by example:
manager.FontPath,
"/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"
and pykaraoke_mini.py executed with no errors, but it didn't want to
play again because i think there are needed to be full paths entered in
other portions of the code, in order to make pykaraoke function
properly.
So i maked a conclusion that this is a linux bug.
Am i right or wrong?
Thank you,
greetings,
Igor
