Tutorial for installing pycar on Linux - Page 2

Thanks,
seems to run a bit better.

In the skins action.xml and cfg I saw many getActiveArea(), getActiveScreen() and so on, ending in error.
Apparently, they need to be sourced as common.getActiveArea().

This way, if I only enable settings in pycar.cfg, I'm able to launch the frontend.
But it crashes with 'module' object has no attribute 'abstractlist'

It looks like it's in skins/deepsea/settings_actions.xml

Quote:

a= val( 'areas', 'logo_dialog' )
menu.abstractList.init( [ { 'title': x } for x in settings.xmlSettings.getValue( 'logos' )[ 1 ] ] )
a.init( "menu.abstractList, 0" )
a.setParams( _('Select logo from the list'), '', common.getActiveArea(), ('logo_change',item) )

Well I continue to check

I thought I posted a reply, but apparently the reply is gone with my windoze crash.

I reloaded the pycar from the sourceforge cvs today.

Here's what I have now:

I don't know what to put into vars.py
I added already

useCD='enabled'

Cheers

i have the same error, with todays (10-27-2006) CVS version of pycar with debian on a EPIA-MII

does anybody have an idea where to check?

I'm putting a computer into my car, it will be this one running Debian.

I'm working through what I need to know about installing and configuring pycar (as that seems to be the only game in town AFAICT) by messing with the install in a virtual machine via VMware. I have pycar and seemingly all of its dependent software parts installed.

When I run I get a brief screen showing "Loading..." then a stack trace (this is typed by hand because I don't have any X in the virtual machine yet):

Code:

if pos!= -1;
    audio.player.startPlayback( pos )
 within ModuleHelper.execute
!! Exception happened during creation or parse of app
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pycar.py", line 251, in ?

    self.parseNode( self.node[ 2 ] )

  File "/root/pycar_not_packaged/pycar/pycar/parser.py", line 99, in processNodeByName

    self.execute( 'onLoad', None, None, None )

    exec( s1 )
  File "<string>", line 11, in ?

Looks like the config file is missing something?
