More information also in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt3/+bug/179763 This shouldn't be an issue anymore with the KDE4 version of userconfig. |
Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux In Kubuntu Hardy Heron (alpha1 to 4) when you select System Setting/User management (as well in Displays&Monitors and Windows applications) you get the following error message: The module User Management could not be loaded. The diagnostics is: Library files for "libpython2.5.so" not found in paths. Possible reasons: - An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module - You have old third party modules lying around. Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message etc.etc. When you run userconfig from the command line with kcmshell you get the same dialog but more information in the terminal: Pythonize constructor -- pid = 8592 Python interpreter initialized! Pythonize constructor -- pid = 8592 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/userconfig.py", line 19, in <module> from qt import * ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/qt.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicode_Type Error in sys.excepthook: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 36, in apport_excepthook from cStringIO import StringIO ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/cStringIO.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/userconfig.py", line 19, in <module> from qt import * ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/qt.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicode_Type error: ***failed to import module And when you run /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/userconfig.py on its own it works. This last one kind of proofs that kcmshell somehow gets its environment wrong.
