magick rotation stopped working - for you too?

here is what happens when i run it:

./magick-rotation
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./magick-rotation", line 236, in <module>
magick = engine()
File "./magick-rotation", line 121, in __init__
self.toggle_touch()
File "./magick-rotation", line 143, in toggle_touch
self.touch_on.show()
glib.GError: Unable to connect to server


?? what is happening. i am not sure when it happened. yesterday my computer did a system upgrade. i have since restarted tonight - it stopped working. in between i also tried to install xournal from scratch. i thought that maybe the installation of dependent packages might have messed things up. i removed them again, but it still does not work - i am not sure what the cause of the problem is..

any ideas?

Can you post the results of:

dpkg -l libc6
dpkg -l gcc

You might need to use sudo to make the commands work. I just updated my Maverick partition and it seems to still be working so I am trying to figure out what packages are different between our systems. Are you using the backport repositories?

hi,

yeah it seems the latest wacom driver update (2 weeks ago) broke rotation.

i posted about it some days ago on this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...8#post10507868

i havent tested it yet but it seems the latest wacom driver git has it fixed(see favux response)... so either wait until it hit the repository or git update it.

hi,
thanks for the reply, here my dpkg -l results:

ii libc6 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii gcc 4:4.4.4-1ubuntu2 The GNU C compiler


thanks!! (i'll be reading your posts linuxd00 - thanks also!)

I have been searching for the reason why this is happening. Are you able to get into the setup? If so, can you turn off the notification (Advanced Setup->Allow Notification)? I am not positive yet, but it might have something to do with libnotify or pynotify.

[miobrad]

no, i can not go into the setup. there is no icon in the gnome panel..

Ok. Can you try and edit your .magick-rotation.xml file? Look for the entry:

    <option name="isnotify">
        <value>"True"</value>
    </option>

and change it to:

    <option name="isnotify">
        <value>"False"</value>
    </option>

Then try starting it up again.

[miobrad]

yes, that was it - it works now!

a note to anyone else reading:

.magick-rotation.xml is in your home directory..

also, after changing the value all i had todo is run ./magick-rotation for it to work again. i did however restart my system to see if it will still start as it should.. - all good!

thanks again - this is great!!

Thanks for clarifying the location of the .magick-rotation.xml file. I will see if I can figure out how to solve the libnotify/python-notify issue.

[miobrad]

no - thanks you, again!
