Uploader r90 fails to start on Kubuntu 8.10 64bit (missing module gnomekeyring)

[poteri]

The uploader r90 builds and installs succesfully, but will not execute due to missing python module gnomekeyring. Downgraded to r84, everything works fine. The system is Kubuntu 8.10 x86_64

Error:

$ /usr/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('RescueTimeUploader==0.0.0', 'console_scripts', 'rescuetime_linux_uploader')()
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/RescueTimeUploader/entrypoints.py", line 4, in command_line
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/RescueTimeUploader/uploader.py", line 22, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gnomekeyring

How can I satisfy this dependency on KDE?

sorry, not sure what the standard policy is on adding info, but this bug still exists in r93.
i have gnome-keyring installed on kubuntu 8.10 x86_32 but obviously i do not have the gnome panel running in kubuntu. maybe that makes a difference?

[Bart Tuts (ronintdk)]

@ poteri: Are you saying r84 DOES work in Kubuntu?

I tried r84 earlier today and it doesn't work at all for me. When I download it and execute the action in the readme, it says it's missing a file.

[poteri (juho-apaja)]

Yes, I'm running r84 succesfully, data submitting and all.

Tried r93 here on 8.10 x86_64 again, can reconfirm this issue. gnome-keyring is installed, gnome-panel is not.

[poteri (juho-apaja)]

Installed python-gnome2-desktop, got a pile of gnome libs with it, but r93 runs now.

There are also issues for 93 on FC8 (2.6.26.8-57.fc8 #1 SMP)

To get this far I've installed:
+ python-setuptools-devel.noarch
+ gnome-python2-gnomekeyring.i386
+ gnome-keyring-manager.i386
+ gnome-python2-gnomedesktop.i386

Still no joy - result is the same as above:

I've also tried manually creating the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/gnome-keyring-daemon.service thus:
        [D-BUS Service]
        Name=org.gnome.keyring
        Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon

Result is different, but not promising:

In addition to the above, I also added the following packages:
(remember, Fedora8 so yum instead of apt)
> yum install bzr.i386 bzr-gtk.i386 bzrtools.i386

The command line tool will now run, and correctly tracks focus changes

BUT

No data was uploaded after about 15 minutes

AND

Neither RescueTime Controller nor RescueTimeInformation applets will load in the gnome panel. Both crash.
Bug Report (of questionable usefulness) attached.
