Python errors from fs-uae-launcher [Solved]

I get this when I try to run the 2.0.1 (and the latest beta) fs-uae-launcher. Same result from deb file as well as compiling from source. Thanks for any help.

Hi! I assume the problem is that your wxPython version is too old - a version where wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE is missing. However, this is only a constant (255), and if this is the only problem, it is easily fixable.

You can edit the following file in a text editor as root):

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/fs_uae_launcher/fsui/wx/Color.py

and replace:

wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE

with

255

Can you also let me know what distribution (and version) you are running, and your wxPython version?

Okay, I tried that and now it loads settings from /home/mocha/.local/share/fs-uae/launcher.settings, but then I get this error instead. I'm on standard Ubuntu 12.04 and have wxgtk2.6 and 2.8 packages installed.

Thanks, that was useful information. I assume what happens is that wxPython 2.6 is used instead of 2.8. There is a way for a program to specify which wxPython-version to prefer (which isn't used in the launcher).

Uninstalling 2.6 will probably "solve" the problem. I'll try installing 2.6 myself, see if the problem show up, and then fix it so 2.8 is used correctly.

Uninstalling 2.6 causes this error:

ImportError: No module named wx

fs-uae-launcher deb file is dependent on the 2.8 version however.

Please try the newly released 2.1.1 (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=848039), where I have added wxversion.select(["2.8"]) before importing wx.

That works perfectly, thanks. Finally fs-uae brings to Linux a world class Amiga emulator, been waiting many years for this. Now back to Deluxe Galaga..

I use this thread, i think this the same kind of pb : under windows 7 with FS UAE 2.1.1 the launcher does not launch anymore...

It was not the same problem, it was the fix for the problem with caused the new problem! wxversion cannot be used with py2exe/py2app, and it slipped through quality control here...
