Pithos - Pandora Desktop Application

[doktor5000]

I listen to Pandora often and wanted to try the Linux desktop application called Pithos. It took a bit of poking around and some experimentation but this is how I got Pithos running on both a 64 and 32 bit computer. I adapted the procedure from this link: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=259892, which was about installing Pithos on Fedora 14 . All you'll need to do is open a terminal, then copy and paste each command below allowing each to fully execute before going on to the next one. I did get some error messages but nothing that prevented the app from working. Neither system broke but as always, try at your own risk.

$ su (give root password at prompt)

Install dependencies:

Code: Select all

# urpmi python pyxdg python-gobject python-gobject-devel gobject-introspection gstreamer0.10-python gstreamer0.10-python-devel python-notify pygtk2.0 dbus-python gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad python-distutils-extra bzr bzrtools chiliproject-bzr redmine-bzr

Go to Downloads folder

Code: Select all

# cd Downloads

Download pithos

Code: Select all

# bzr branch lp:pithos pithos

The Pithos directory was created during download. You need to navigate into it in order to install:

Code: Select all

# cd pithos

The next command will install the Pithos program:

Code: Select all

# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

Now go look for the Pithos icon in Sound and Video. Create and/or sign into your Pandora account and enjoy

Thanks for the post. Next time please use code tags to improve the clarity

[superjoeuser]

Sure thing. I didn't know I was supposed to do that (this is the first time I did something like this and was bold enough to post it). But I'll do it this way from now on.

Thanks for this post. Ive been a windows user for a long time, but have dabbled in linux enough to know how to break things. Ive almost always used some kind of debian distro though, so things with mageia are a little different for me.

After fooling around with the source code for pithos, i finally found your post. I ran the code that you listed and got a few errors with some packages not being found, however, the application installed. When I run it, I just see the bouncing icon as if its trying to initiate and then it goes away. No GUI ever shows asking me for pandora account details. Any ideas? Running mageia 4.1.

Thanks

I also get the bouncing icon with no start. When I run it from the command line, I get a traceback:

Probably some gstreamer packages missing ...

I am fiddling with this a bit, and I found that when I install the package lib64clutter-gst-gir2.0 and its required dependencies, that error message went away.

Now, however, I am getting a new error: "ImportError: No module named html"

I still have some time to waste, so I will track that one down too.

[doktor5000]

I attempted this installation on a 32 bit machine runing Mageia 4.1. Everything went smoothly until I reached the "phython setup.py install --prefix=/usr". It terminated without installing anything, or at least not completing the installation, with the following message:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost pithos]# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 23, in <module>
    import ez_setup
ImportError: No module named ez_setup

Code: Select all

the pithos directory contained the following files:

Any idea how to get this to work?

import ez_setup
ImportError: No module named ez_setup[/code]

You're missing a python module which it clearly tells you. Did you install the packages listed in the first post? Works fine here:

Although I then still get the same error on starting it like jiml8 with the missing module html.
From looking at some other bugreports this could either be an issue with python2 vs. python3 with missing 2to3 support.
Or just broken software. On Fedora the same issue applies: https://plus.google.com/108594939501350 ... M9YDPLtFzs

Can be fixed by installing it via pip. Then it errors out on a module that IS installed:

Further reading says the problem might be running python3 code under python2 - which is default for Mageia4:

I verified that all of the packages in the urpmi instruction were installed. They are.

Now what?
