hi everyone, i just upgraded to RC 2 today, and the python script engine for plasma ceased working. I use the gmail-plasmoid heavily, so this sucks.
When i run the plasmoid from terminal i get:

Code: Select all

plasmoidviewer(3940)/plasma main: setting FormFactor to "planar"
plasmoidviewer(3940)/plasma main: setting Location to "floating"
plasmoidviewer(3940)/plasma main: setting containment to "null"

plasmoidviewer(3940)/plasma main: just load applet

is there any workarounds i can implement? i tried downgrading the python script engine and restarting plasma to no avail. (using Ubuntu karmic) thank you all for the help.

KDE SC 4.4 RC2 has not yet been released, we're having problems with the kdebindings module.

This might very well be a symptom.

ummmm i just got like 120 kde updates.....and about/KDE says 4.4 RC2, but i should just wait for more updates?

you need to downgrade the packets python-qt4* and python-sip4 or - of course - wait for an update of python-kde4

thanks! aptitude wont let me downgrade them without removing a ton of KDE so ill wait for an update. Thanks again for all your help!

Don't works with openSUSE packages from KDE 4.4 Beta 1 but I just updated to RC2 and works again.

At last, I miss a lot "Magic Folder" .

In the openSUSE packages prior to RC2, Plasma bindings were disabled to make python-kde4 build (and thus not remove everything that depended on PyKDE4). Now that a newer SIP and PyQt versions are out, there is no more need for that.

Sadly I don't see any warning about this because if I read it I don't test KDE 4.4. Python plasmoids are the most useful to me.

Well, the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repository is not officially supported and tracks a development version, so breakage (although rare, and that was upstream) can happen.

The bug is also here with 4.4 RC 2 on Kubuntu 9.10

Update to RC 3, the problem is solved.

But RC3 is not in the repos yet.

Btw, will it also solve the bug of the KCM Module for Printer configuration not working?
