Fedora :: "Screenlets" Not Working?
Apr 25, 2011
For the last several years, I've been using several little python programs called Screenlets.They worked fine under Gnome, and when I migrated to XFCE, the only difficulty was that they didn't properly autostartI had to open the screenlet manager and re-launch them.This evening, I made a change to my XFCE configuration by editing a config file then logging out and back in. This was the first time I'd done that since my last reboot, 12 days ago, for a kernel update. Now, they don't start at all and running the manager from a terminal doesn't(At least, it doesn't tell me anything that I find helpful, but somebody who's familiar with python might find something useful there.) There doesn't seem to be any easy way to contact the devs at this point, so I came here to ask if anybody else has seen this or knows what's going on

I got into using screenlets on the Maverick RC and was looking forward to using them again when the official release came out.However when I try and invoke them from the Accessories menu the dialog briefly pops up before disappearing. It's not even on the screen long enough to draw the dialogs contentsIt tried entering "screenlets" at the terminal and I get this....
** (screenlets-manager.py:1741): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (screenlets-manager.py:1741): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in

Can you get Screenlets for Fedora 13? Google Gadgets is good, but when I used Ubuntu 10.04 on Screenlets looked much better. As much as I prefer Fedora, there doesn't seem to much of these Desktop effects about.

I had screenlets working Just Fine on F 10, but it hit EOL so I used preupgrade to move to F 11. Now, I can't get them working no matter what I do. If I try to run screenlets-manager from a terminal I get this message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-manager.py", line 28, in <module>
import screenlets
ImportError: No module named screenlets
And, I can't reinstall them because they require python-dateutil which doesn't seem to have a version for F 11. I even tried downloading the tarball and running setup.py, but it crashed because it tries to import a module that doesn't exist.

I've recently installed F14 on my netbook. All went well. I've installed Screenlets, and they run well. Unfortunately I have to reload all the widgets I have running on startup to make them show.
I believe the problem is the order the Screenlets are loading. Is there a way for me to restrain the Screenlets from loading until Compiz has been loaded? I've added the widgets I want to load to the gnome session startup script using gnome-session-properties, but no luck in ordering the timing they load. I seem to remember in older Fedora releases you could change the load order. Anyway no luck there.
Next I created a bash script with a sleep delay to load the widgets. I added the script to gnome-session-properties, still no luck. The only way I can get the widgets to show is to manually reload them once the desktop/Compiz has loaded.

I installed screenlets last night and the weather widget starts regardless of how many times I delete it. The cairo clock will not start no matter how many times I add it and tic the auto start box. So I uninstalled screenlets this morning to start over and it's still doing the same thing. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

On SuSE 11.3 x 64 when I log into KDE4 the screenlets appear and work normally. If I log into Gnome or lxde the screenlet manager appear but screenlets themselves don't.

does anyone know how I can get my screenlets to boot on start-up? Couldn't find out how through google and I can't find an option on the screenlet or the screenlet manager that sets them to automatically start on start up.

Running 10.10. After installing Screenlets from the software center, I opened the screenlets manager to start the GCal widget that I wanted to run. However, when I click start/stop nothing happened. I was hoping that it was something simple so I moved my dock around to see if the widget was starting behind the taskbar or dock, but no such luck. I have the widget layer enabled in compiz, but the screenlet is not showing up there either.. Just a blank screen when I hit F9.
I've installed compiz, conky, compiz-fusion, compiz-plugins-extra and I can see all the options that seem to be necessary for the screenlets to function. I just don't see anything for any of the screenlets when I try to enable them via start/stop....

I am running a Gateway MX6121 laptop with Ubuntu 11.04.I had Screenlets installed under 10.10, did a complete removal and installation of the latest version.The screenlet manager opens, and there is an indicator applet, but I cannot add any screenlets to the desktop. When I double-click on a screenlet, the screen flashes like it is trying to add to the desktop, but nothing happens.

This is an easy solve, I think. (I'm not having much luck with OpenSuse's one click install.) I installed screenlets using one click but can only start it via the command line. It never showed up in my Gnome menu system.
As an aside, I reverted to the old style gnome menu. I tried OpenSuse's updated Gnome menu but it seemed awkward. Is it just me?
Just noticed I misspelled manager. Is there a way to change the message header?

I was playing around with Screenlets and would like to use the radio. I can't seem to get it to play any of the default radio stations, also when I add a custom web site I get nothing. The web site I added plays fine with Mplayer, but does not work with the Screenlets radio. I have also edited the Menu.xml for screenlets radio and added the web site I would like to listen to, but nothing. I have also downloaded he restricted extras

When I try to run Screenlets from Applications > Accessories > Screenlets, it says "Starting Screenlets" for a few seconds, and then nothing happens. 'screenlets-manager' from the terminal produces the following
Code:

I have checked to make sure python-rsvg is installed. Upon looking for a solution, I read somewhere that it might have something to do with Compiz. I installed the Compiz settings manager, but when I run it from System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager, it does the exact same thing Screenlets does ("Starting CompizConfig Settings Manager", then nothing).ccsm from the terminal produces the following

Each time I pass with a cursor over a widget on the desktop its side bar appears, of course it should because of resizing and moving or do some setting, but that is very boring if I do not intend to use that bar. Screenlets behave better, the setting menu appear only with proper clicking. Is there a way to manage jumping widget menu bar not to appear on every cursor passing ?

for instance, it said that "docky needs proper composition to work properly" when it was working properly before. after having too many flash applications open, after clicking on a link to a videos video, everything crashed, and it said that *for the 20th time now in a week* that kwin has crashed. then i tried to log out and log back in since that normally fixed everything, but i couldn't log out, instead i had to killall xorg but all that showed next was a black screen instead of what it should have shown, the login screen. i had reboot from the terminal and the login screen was normal, but when i booted in to kde, everything that needed opengl and composition crashed. docky doesn't have a black box around it, but it won't intellihide like it should *and i tried to set it back to that setting but it didn't give me the option to*

I have a strange problem for internet. My clients (winxp - S2) can't get internet.Let me explain my scenerios. Fedora 10 with lan (eth0) having direct internet from dsl model, client (XP service pack 2) can use samba shares using dhcp (wlan0) installed in Fedora 10 box. client can ping my linux box.Now problem is: client (dosbox) can ping the google ip address (i.e ping 74.125.39.106) but can't use 'ping www.google.com'. That means ping with ip works for internet from my client. My linux box can. I can use internet from FC10 but can't use iexplorer from my client to have internet. I have enable ipmasquarding in Firewall and dhcpd is running on wlan0 for dynamic ip address of my clients.Can someone suggest me what kind of problem having I? What should i do to success iexplorer for internet? what possibly am i missing?

I recently moved into my room-mates house and her wireless was not secure as I was able to log on to it unsecured with my Fedora 12 Laptop. After Securing it with WPA all the windows computers had no problem getting back on to the now secure wireless. Using GNOME I went to SYSTEM then PREFERENCES and NETWORK CONNECTIONS and clicked on the wireless tab and configured wireless security tab and configured for WPA WPA2 Personal. No problems. But when I go to the gnome tool bar and click on the network and see our SSID it wants to use WEP 40bit and others methods but has no selection for WPA.
