What does `gdesklets check` give you?

[Joe Sapp (sappj)]

I wonder if this is a pyorbit issue. Line 39 at http://git.gnome.org/browse/pyorbit/tree/src/pyorbit-utils.c is where the assertion fails, which means PyImport_ImportModule("keyword") returns NULL. Does anybody know why this happens?

I get same issue

Same problem here, including the result of "gdesklet check" Yogesh provided :(

[Bjoern Koch (h.humpel)]

Is this the typical ubuntu "Could not import tiling module!" problem/error/bug or is this something new ?!
Just wondering...

[sectorq (jaydee-inmail)]

 i found solution for this problem.

in file /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/ErrorFormatter.py

Original:
def _new_imp(name, globs = {}, locls = {}, fromlist = []):

Change to:
def _new_imp(name, globs = {}, locls = {}, fromlist = [], test = []):

[Marcin Dylewski (marcin-dylewski-m)]

Thanks. That worked for me.

[Joe Sapp (sappj)]

Note that this is an Ubuntu bug. I believe we have fixed this in recent versions of gDesklets.
