flickrfs.py crashed with FuseError in main()

[Helder Ribeiro]

Binary package hint: flickrfs

I ran it without parameters (the instructions on the webpage said the first run would fire up the configuration process) and it crashed after getting the flickr authorization.

Authorization complete.

I have the same problem. Confirmed.

[DavidValentine (davidwvalentine)]

I have the same problem on gutsy final.

[Aaron Sells (aaron-sells)]

I was getting this error but worked around it by executing flickrfs as super user. However, my sets do not populate in the mount location which is a problem.

I don't believe that you need to be a superuser, but you do need to specify the mountpoint. I am, however, getting the same problem where the sets do not populate.

wuziq@wuziq:~$ flickrfs flickrfsmount
Authorizing with flickr...
Authorization complete.
wuziq@wuziq:~$

We should be seeing "Sets are being populated in the background."

[karlrt (karlrt)]

for me exactly the same happens.

First i forgot to specify a mountpoint, but after

# mkdir /media/flickr/
$ flickrfs /media/flickr/

the exact same error still occurs, the only way wich helped me out was the superuser:

# flickrfs /media/flickr/

but i dont want to run flickrfs as superuser, i want to be able as normal user to copy my photos

[febs (spelta)]

The workaround is:

$ sudo chmod 755 /bin/fusermount
$ sudo chmod u+s /bin/fusermount
$ sudo chmod 666 /dev/fuse

Then it will work fine.

[wuziq (spamziq)]

If those lines are the same lines included in the setup instructions
on the flickrfs website, then I've already done that :)

not exactly. Those lines shows the wrong path fpr the fusermount
application.

IMO the best solution is to add the user to the "fuse" group(requires relogin to become effective). what do you think?

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Just tested flickrfs on Ubuntu 15.04's newest version and it worked fine for me.
