Hi Hiro,

Can you let me know what this command from a terminal session (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) outputs?

sudo apt-cache policy python-gnomekeyring

It seems that Ubuntu One can't load the gnomekeyring Python module on your install for some reason.

Thank you,

Joshua

hi joshua

thanks for your relpy!

& sure:

$ sudo apt-cache policy python-gnomekeyring

python-gnomekeyring:
  Installed: 2.28.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.28.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

i don't know if that helps, but:
the installed files for python-gnomekeyring lists /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gnomekeyring.so as the path i figure is relevant here.

when i start python form the command line i am unable to import gnomekeyring:

$ python
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Nov 2 2009, 14:38:03)
>>> import gnomekeyring
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gnomekeyring

the pythonpath is:
>>> import sys; print sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']

comparing pythonpath to the path of the keyring above, i am not surprised that the module is not found. or am i missing something?

anyway, thanks a lot

[dobey@lunatari:~]: python -c "import gnomekeyring; print gnomekeyring.__file__"
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gnomekeyring.so

Can you try running "dpkg-reconfigure python-gnomekeyring" in a terminal, and then run the python -c command I ran above?

[Hiro Protagonist (surfer)]

i did:

root@hiro:~# dpkg-reconfigure python-gnomekeyring
root@hiro:~# python -c "import gnomekeyring; print gnomekeyring.__file__"
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gnomekeyring.so

...and now ubuntuclient-applet works as it should!! even if i do not understand what went wrong with the installation of python-gnomekeyring in the first place.

as far as i'm concerned this thing is solved!

thank you very much!

Great to hear Hiro! And many thanks to Rodney for the help!
