[gentoo-user] pysol problems

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   My wife's machine started having troubles running pysol. After a
very quick browse of the Bugzilla system I didn't locate anything
specifically for this error:

mark@dragonfly ~ $ pysol
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/lib/pysol/pysol.py", line 121, in ?
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "/usr/games/lib/pysol/main.py", line 424, in main
    r = pysol_main(args)
  File "/usr/games/lib/pysol/main.py", line 367, in pysol_main
    r = pysol_init(app, args)
  File "/usr/games/lib/pysol/main.py", line 121, in pysol_init
    top = MfxRoot(className=PACKAGE)
  File "/usr/games/lib/pysol/tk/tkwrap.py", line 75, in __init__
    apply(Tkinter.Tk.__init__, (self,), kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1569, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className,
interactive, want objects, useTk, sync, use)
__main__.TclError: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
mark@dragonfly ~ $

   I tried re-emerging pysol, as well as tk & gtk+. I also deleted
directory specific .pysol stuff to let it start over but nothing so
far has fixed it.

dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv pysol tk gtk+ python

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

   All ideas appreciated.

Hi Bo,
   I'm assuming you are pointing me at the comment about a bad RgbPath
that worked for fixing your issue? I do not seem to have RgbPath in
xorg.conf on that machine:

dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep RgbPath
dragonfly ~ #

   Just in case it was a capitalization issue I also did some
searching in the file but no luck finding anything so far.

   If I've misinterpreted your pointer here please clarify.

   I do agree that this may well be an X11 problem. If I'm sitting on
that machine pysol fails as I've shown. However if I ssh into that
machine from my AMD64 box pysol will run when displayed on my PC.
Seems like an X11 issue?

Cheers,
Mark

Yep, it was this line that was causing my issue:

# grep RgbPath /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    #RgbPath    "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"

Are you certain that you are actually using /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

# grep xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

I don't really have other ideas (short of filing a bug). Maybe others do.

Yes, I do seem to be using xorg.conf:

dragonfly ~ # grep xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
dragonfly ~ #

I've not searched the forums yet so I'll go there before filing a bug.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mark
