Unable to run guake

[krizajb]

Hi,

I managed to configure and make the guake using python2 but I am not unable to execute the binary when done, gives following output: /usr/bin/python2: No module named guake

Binary executes when I follow https://github.com/Guake/guake#testing-as-an-unprivileged-user with one minor bug, strange character in start of every line.

Oh, if it helps I'm on CentOS 7, can also post configure and make report if needed.

Any ideas?

use ./dev.sh, this is the script I use every day.

Also, clean all pyc in you /usr/lib/.../dist-package/guake/

[krizajb]

Isn't dev.sh basically the same as instructions written in the link provided above? Haven't found any *.pyc files matching guake in dist-packages, found some in site-packages if that's somehow important.

Also whats with the long "]7;file://localhost.localdomain/home/krizajb/Downloads/guake-master" prefix on every line? I've just started using guake on CentOS 7, was working great on CentOS 6 :)

Posting the first character bug.

Thanks for the help!

Update: So I thought there might be some kind of defect during compile so I tried pre-compiled package and the binary runs without a problem. The prefix bug is still present :(

Update2: Suddenly the prefix disappeared, unfortunately I don't remember doing any changes relevant to this bug.

Been a while, but have you tried removing all existing installations of guake before installing from source?

[gsemet]

I think we should recommend to install guake through pipx which works fine.

Hi, I am currently working on a non linux env, so I can not give it another try, will do so when on my linux machine :)

Could also be the case that it's not in your path, potentially
