Python plasmoids stopped working

[Kaljo]

Yesterday I installed 201 updates and since then my python plasmoids stopped working (i.e. Gmail)

"Couldn't create python Scriptengine for widget.........."

Searched the forum but couldn't find anything about this subject.

I have a testenv. on a USB-stick which I updated last week and there's no problem? So I checked if there where updates and yes there were.
i.e. Python-qt4 from 4.8.1 to 4.8.2. After installing these updates............same problem

My conclusion: it has something to do with pyqt4?

Can I resolve this problem or do I have to wait for a update?

looks like you did a KDE update, did you reboot after upgrading?

[Texstar]

pinoc the paperclip   (just kidding)

Yes cause it was in the updates, 4.5.4---------->4.5.5
I rebooted after the upgrade

You probably did, but I just ask:
Did you try to remove the widget, and add it again? (don't know if it can make any difference - but you never know)

Tried that with no result

Searched a little bit on the web - the gmail plasmoid has had more problems like that in the past

Ensure following packages are installed (maybe not all available in PCLinuxOS - can't check it now; no Linux-pc at the moment around me):

PyQt4-devel
python-qt
python-qt4
python-kdebase4
maybe there exists: python-plasma

Maybe it'll be solved when KDE4.6 is released for PCLinuxOS?
(or someone else having suggestions?)

hmm, all working fine here...
a) if enabled, disable all desktops effects, logout - login, and see if it works
b) create a new user-account and test it in there
c) wait for KDE 4.6 or more likely 4.6.1...

[Kaljo]

Tried all, nothing works

Guess I'll have to wait for 4.6.1

After upgrading from 4.5.4 (where the plasmoid is working) to 4.6.1 the plasmoid is still working

Upgrading from 4.5.5 (where the plasmoid stopped working) to 4.6.1. the plasmoid works BUT............the account is lost
so I right-click the plasmoid, click settings and the whole workspace/desktop/plasmaworkarea just crashes
Removing the plasmoid and reinstalling it doesn't make any difference (kwallet should come up but doesn't)

So I logged out and logged in as root because I hadn't installed the plasmoid there
I installed the plasmoid, right-click it then click settings and kwallet is coming up, so for a new user there seems to be no problem

Something must be broken for /home/myname, is it kwallet that causes the crash?

Hi Kaljo
Do I understand correct that you are working in KDE as root? Don't do this. It is, well gently speaking, not secure. If you need to test something go to PCLinuxOS Control Center and create a new user. This way you will get a fresh profile in witch you can test things safely and without interference from your current config and than you can remove it with a few clicks.
