Description of problem: I installed a new fedora 24 Workstation installation and installed solaar. From the desktop, it won't start up and when I tried the terminal, it printed the following error message: Solaar: missing required package 'python-gi' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a new fedora 24 Workstation 2. install solaar package 3. try to start it either from the command line or the desktop Actual results: prints the error message above Expected results: the solaar menu should open Additional info: I installed several other packages before installing solaar, like wine, playonlinux, kodi, thunderbird, openjdk etc. But none of them were related to python. I also tried to install PyGObjects with "dnf install pygobjects*" but with the same result. I also have two receivers plugged in (I wanted to merge them into one)
Can you try `dnf install python-gobject` and try running Solaar again?
I have it already installed and it prints the same error message
Installing python-gobject fixes this for me. With a new F24 workstation install, installing solaar installs: * python-libs (2.7) * python-pip * python2-setuptools * python (2.7) * python-six * python2-pyudev * unifying-receiver-udev * solaar and then running Solaar gives the "missing required package" message. `dnf install python-gobject` installs: * pycairo * python-gobject * python-gobject-base * python-xpyb and then Solaar runs. (There are some Gtk warnings, but it does run.) So I believe that solaar is missing a dependency on python-gobject. nostritius, are you sure you have python-gobject and python-gobject-base installed? (NB these are different to python3-gobject and python3-gobject-base)
I found the problem, somehow I managed to break my python installation. Maybe this was because it firstly tried sudo easy_install gi. I did a clean install of fedora 24 Workstation and installed solaar plus python-gobject and it worked. it would be nice to add python-gobject as a dependency.
