RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 3 Than Ngo 2010-05-12 09:47:19 UTC 
it seems kdebase-workspace-python-applet is not installed on your machine.
could you please install this package and try again?

thanks
Comment 4 Than Ngo 2010-05-12 10:08:01 UTC 
i even tested the hello-python from
 http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Python/GettingStarted
it works fine for me after kdebase-workspace-python-applet is installed
Comment 5 Henry Stilmack 2010-05-12 18:47:32 UTC 
Still no joy after installing kdebase-workspace-python-applet. The hello-python applet gives this (I followed the tutorial exactly and installed the applet with plasmapkg:

plasmoidviewer hello-python

Unknown widget popup, with the following:
"This object could not be created for the following reason: Could not find requested component: hello-python"

kdebugdialog gives the following info:


plasmoidviewer(10373)/libplasma Plasma::CoronaPrivate::addContainment: loading of containment "null" failed.
