Problems to run Pychess. [solved]

07 December 2017, 15:12:13

Hi,

I installed pychess from pamac. I'm not able to run it, it can't be opened.

Re-installing pychess from the terminal as root:

Code: [Select]

Traying to open pychess from the terminal:

Code: [Select]

[keos@kaos ~]$ su

[kaos keos]# pychess

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

[kaos keos]#

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

All dependencies are installed:

Code: [Select]

    gst-plugins-base
    gtksourceview3
    python-cairo
    python-gobject
    python-sqlalchemy

Try this:

Code: [Select]

# pacman -S python-pexpect

It looks like the package is missing that dependency.

thanks cromer, it works now!.

Do you know how to navegate in PCManFM till the file where is pychess? i don't see the file, i need to reinstall pychess and erase all previus configuration i'm having problems with the download of the chess-engines, they are not coming now, probably because i install pychess before the engines.

I found it!.

Just one last problem, i'm not able to install this chess program: Protector (protector-svn) in Artix nor from the pacma-GUI neither from the root terminal and there is this commentary on the terminal that i don't understand:

It is compatible with PyChess. Just add "/usr/bin/protector" to engines menu and enjoy!

Code: [Select]

[kaos keos]# yaourt -Sy protector-svn

Tienes que hacerlo en una cuenta que no sea "root" y sin sudo. makepkg tiene esta protección para no dejar tu sistema con problemas.

Gracias cromer pero no resulto. Aunque ya lo tengo!.

This Artix is more complicated that Manjaro. After to much guessing i found that in order to install Protector we have to install surversion first -- any way, i got it!.

Thanks!!

@keos it is recommended to post things in English when you want help from others on internet.
Easy way how to force program to use default language (mostly English) is to start it from terminal and set variable LANG=C
Example:

Code: [Select]

LANG=C man

I don't understand what you said here.

How can i force the results in spanish at the terminal and translate it into english?

If you are indicating to do someting at the terminal ... this is what i got:

Code: [Select]

[keos@kaos ~]$ LANG=C man
What manual page do you want?
