OS X package?

[Dan]

Are there any OS X users who use the dmg package file?  I'm thinking of not producing/uploading it any more if there are no users.

By the way, etm_qt is now listed on the python package index (PyPi) and can be installed/updated using pip and easy_install.

Thanks,
Dan

[lawquest]

Could you put the pip and easy_install instructions into the install manual when you get a chance?  I have forgotten them.  I attempted to install etm 1.34 my regular way (navigate to vector:/~/src/etm2-testing/etm_qt-2.0.134) and run "python setup.py install" but I get etm 1.31 not 1.34.

thanks

Hi I would prefer to not have to install and maintain a QT installation - PITA just for one app...

[Daniel Graham]

Ok, thanks. I just wanted to be sure that someone used it.

I'll add instructions to INSTALL for the next release. Meanwhile:

$ sudo pip install -U etm_qt

or

$ sudo easy_install -U etm_qt

For initial installations, the -U can be omitted.

[lawquest]

Thanks.  I still get ver 1.31 rather than 1.34.

What do you get from the following?

$ which etm_qt.py

[lawquest]

johwhi:$ which etm_qt.py

/usr/bin/etm_qt.py

/usr/bin/etm_qt.py shows 182 bites with date of 3/12/2013 at 09:01:51 AM

My guess is that you sometimes use sudo and sometimes don't so you wind up with different versions in different places in your path. What do you get from locate?

$ locate etm_qt.py

[lawquest]

Here is screenshot:

All of the rest of the locate page (not shown) refers to my misc&trash&oldversions folder.  

I just loaded new ver 136 as follows:

However  F2 still shows I am still using 1.31 and F3 shows that a newer version (2.0.136) is available. 

I don't think the situation results from my switching to the easy_install loader as it first happened while I was still downloading the file from the website and installing with python setup.py install.

[Daniel Graham]

Why don't you try using sudo instead of becoming root?

[lawquest]

Here is what happens when I try sudo on my slackware system as currently configured:

vector:/~

johwhi:$ sudo easy_install -U etm_qt

Password:

Sorry, try again.

Password:

Sorry, try again.

Password:

Sorry, try again.

sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

vector:/~

johwhi:$ sudo easy_install -U etm_qt

Password:

Sorry, try again.

Password:

Sorry, user johwhi is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/easy_install -U etm_qt' as root on vector.Linux.net.

vector:/~

johwhi:$ 

I then did a search on google and found that it (using sudo in slackware) is  possible (http://gnu-linux-slackware.blogspot.com/2009/05/adding-users-to-sudoers-file.html, and also http://teknoteknik.wordpress.com/tag/sudo-vs-root/).  I will try that if that is only choice and hope it works.  However, I note that during all my time with etm1 and with the new etm until just a day or two ago, I could load the new etm versions without using sudo. 

I just tried installing ver 136 the same way I installed all earlier versions of the new etm.  Here is the result:  (As you can see, the next-to-last line shows a zip error and, after doing this, F2 still shows me as using ver 131)

With sudo you use your password, not root's password.

[lawquest]

My password doesn't work on sudo, nor does the root password. As explained in the link included with my last post, sudo apparently can be made to work on slackware.  However,  I have used slackware for 10 years and loaded numerous different programs on it and  I do not recall one instance where I had to use sudo to load a program.  

Did you see the "zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/etm_qt-2.0.136-py2.7.egg" error at the end of my last post?  Is that the error that you think loading with sudo will correct?

As I said, its not that I am not willing to go learn whatever is needed to do a sudo load.  Rather, if sudo is required for slackware it would be difficult for etm to gain popularity within the slackware crowd (if it be such), being that no other programs that run on slackware require use of sudo.

John

[Daniel Graham]

I've never used Slackware but all the other distributions I've used have either strongly discouraged or forbidden the use of root. While you're in the directory where you ran setup.py install, have you tried just running etm itself either as root or yourself?

$ python etm_qt.py

[Dan]

I would have to be at your computer to figure out what is going on and probably couldn't even then. I have enough trouble with OS X.

Here's a hack that will allow you to use etm without doing a system installation. Create a directory somewhere convenient and call it, say, etm_qt-current.

Unpack the etm_qt tarball into this directory, then create a file named, say,  etmqt,  somewhere in your path, say in ~/bin/, with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
cd <path to your etm_qt-current directory>
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
    python etm_qt.py $@
else
    python etm_qt.py &
fi

where, of course, you replace <path to your etm_qt-current directory> with the actual path, and make the file executable. You can the get either the command line or gui by running

$ etmqt ?

for the command line or

$ etmqt

for the gui.  Note that you do not need to be root to run this script.

Whenever there's an upgrade, if the normal system installation doesn't work for you, then just replace the contents of your etm_qt-current directory with the contents of the new tarball.

[Rodrigo Bistolfi]

Hi guys, the Slackware crowd (?) uses 'su' instead 'sudo'.
For a system wide install you have to become root with the su command and then follow the installtion procedure as usual (removing 'sudo' from all the commands.)
As Dan pointed, other distros do not activate the root account for security reasons. So, only use this procedure if you trust the source. Anyway, the results should be the same, since sudo is used to upgrade user privileges for copying the needed bits to the proper locations (usually somthing in /usr/lib for python programs.) I would recommend removing manually any etm_qt files under usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ directory, download a fresh copy and reinstall. 
The ZipImport error could be caused by a corrupted zip compressed python module, maybe a bad download. Hope this helps!

Rodrigo/Dan,

I removed all references to etm, whether folder or file, in my /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages [being one folder (etmQt) and lots of files] and reloaded ETM using easy_install and I am now up to date (F2 shows 2.0.138).  

Thank you very much.

Hello Dan,

Normally I am a lurker and don't jump in much. I discovered ETM 2 or 3 years ago (v891)? 

It was difficult to build but I got it working on my mac and have been using it happily ever since. 

Today I discovered the QT build (do you have a mailing list?), and it was so nice to just drag and drop and be upgraded. 

Incidentally, I may even upgrade my legacy data files, but I am also thinking about starting with a clean slate as well. 

So, I want you to know that I am very grateful for the OSX build, and I definitely used it! 

Now, I realise that it is a major pain backside to produce, as I do some open source software myself, and I know what a pain OSX is to work with. 

However, that development pain is for a painless user experience and it makes the experience of using a product so much better. 

For example, for the first time I maybe able to get my wife to use it now because of how easy it is to install. 

So, please keep up the good work, and I am completely thrilled with the updates to 2.2.1qt! 

Thank you again Dan,

Dennis

Dennis,

Thanks very much for the kind words. There is no mail list - I always thought that this discussion group and the home web page would serve that purpose.

If you decide to update some or all of your data files, one2two.py on the home web page does a pretty good job without changing your original files.

I hope your wife becomes a user too. I'm still working on mine.

Best,

Dan

[Jeffrey Krzysztow]

I discovered etm via http://freecode.com/projects/etm and use that to know of new updates, if this is of any use.
