can't open spe

Hello !

Do you receive an error message? Which method did you use to install SPE? Which version of Edubuntu are you using?

When you launch SPE from a terminal, does it write something to your terminal ?

Regards,
Benoît

i use the last version of edubuntu.
i followed the instructions from this post:http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218001&highlight=wxpython
it didn't work. i uninstalled it from add remove programs and then i reinstalled from this menu again.
i run in terminal and i get the following:
"Spe Warning: Spe was developped on wxPython v2.6.1.0., but v2.8.1.1. was found.
If you experience any problems please install wxPython v2.6.1.0.

SPE v0.8.2.a (c)2003-2005 www.stani.be

If spe fails to start:
 - type "python SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1" at the command prompt
   (or if you use tcsh: "python SPE.py --debug >& debug.txt")
 - send debug.txt with some info to spe.stani.be[at]gmail.com

Blender support disabled (run SPE inside Blender to enable).

Encrypted debugging disabled.
  If you prefer encrypted debugging, install the "Python Cryptography Toolkit"
  from http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto"

i pasted "python SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1" on the terminal and the debug file says: "python: can't open file 'SPE.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

that's all
thanks for your reply
if you have any idea please inform me.

i also have to tell you that on another machine which i also have edubuntu 6.10 i installed the spe from the add remove program and there the application works fine. (except the help file's)

Hello !

Could you please run these commands in a terminal?

sudo updatedb
locate SPE.py

So we'll be able to determine whether SPE.py has been installed and if so, were it is located ...

Benoît

paschalis@paschalis-desktop:~$ locate SPE.py
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/SPE.pyw
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/SPE.py
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/SPE.pyo
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/SPE.pyc

thanks for reply

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

i did what Benoît said i pasted the results on my previous message but i haven't any reply since then

Have you tried reinstalling the app? Run:

sudo aptitude purge spe
sudo aptitude install spe

Make sure that wxPython v2.6.1.0 is installed. To tell run:

dpkg -l | grep python-wxgtk2.6

If it is install then you should see something like:

ii python-wxgtk2.6 2.6.3.2.1.5ubuntu6 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit

I am the author of SPE. To get the error log, you will need to do:
python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/SPE.py --debug > debug.txt 2>&1

Probably you will run in this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spe/+bug/124896

The best solution is to install SPE from subversion (which is an improved version for ubuntu) until the new package of spe is available in universe:
