Hi all,
Before I forget, I am using Xubuntu 16.04.02 LTS 64 bits and using the Qgis stable PPA for updates: deb http://qgis.org/debian xenial main Today it was offered to update from 2.18.14 to 2.18.15 and I accepted. Upon starting Qgis after update it barked back complaining: 1- There is a processing module clobbering the install Processing. Remove it? I accepted and the start proceeded. 2- The processing could not be activated: cannot import name uic And some other plugins couldn't be started do to the same uic error. I don't like the quick and dirt "solution": remove the .gis2 directory Suspecting of some plugin already installed, after closing Qgis I renamed the plugin directory (~/.qgis2/python/plugins) to something else meaningless to Qgis (e.g. meaninglessname). Then the Qgis started withou problem. Then I started moving back the plugins directory from the meaningless named directory to the plugins directory. First the plugins with names starting from "a" to "f", started Qgis again without problem. Kept doing this for "g" to "m", "n" to "p", and finaly "q" only (long list and main suspect). Bang! Qgis started to complain. Looking to the list of suspect one showed up as possible culprit: qgis2compat Moved back the main suspect to meaningless directory and Qgis came back without a hitch. Moved all others plugins to the plugins directory and Qgis started without problem. Once I had almost all plugins in place and starting without a problem, i opened the plugin manager and reinstall the qgis2compat plugin. It went without a problem. As a final check I closed Qgis and reopened it. Once again it complained about the processing not being able to import "uic". Checking in the plugins manager the qgis2compat plugin showed no problem at all. I removed the qgis2compat and in a final test the Qgis started without a problem. Concluding the long story, if it happens to any of you, it is not necessary to remove '.qgis2' directoty, try first to remove the qgis2compat plugin, if installed, or just try to rename the plugins directory. If Qgis come up without problem, try to move back the plugins to test witch one is the culprit. Hope this helps. Roxo -- ---------------- Non luctari, ludare -------------------+ WYSIWYG Fernando M.
