Please d0od, what’s the covergloobus theme on your screenshot?
Did you made it yourself?
If well, are you going to share it?
Thx.

Very weird. Then again, I edited the script from its original intention which was to start Banshee with Covergloobus. It might have messed up something. :o

It will work on 9.10 hence why i’m using it 9.10!

Have you got python installed? Did you grant it executable permissions? Have you configured it?

Umm… Your script appears to have killed my Rhythmbox. :D

As soon as I tried it, I get this every time I get this when pressing play:

TypeError: Cannot create a consistent method resolution
order (MRO) for bases ImplementorIface, Orientable, Buildable

ERROR:/build/buildd/pygobject-2.18.0/gobject/pygobject.c:924:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)

Someone must say: “You can change the font text editing: (your_covergloobus_folder)../Themes/(name_of_theme)/skin.xml file..”

Covergloobus is great now that a couple of new features have been added. <3 And I'm using this script to start it up with Rhythmbox:

#!/bin/bash
/home/sensory/.covergloobus/CoverGloobus.py &
COVERPID=$!
rhythmbox &
RHYTHMBOXPID=$!
wait $RHYTHMBOXPID
kill $COVERPID

Starts it with Rhythmbox and closes it when Rhythmbox closes.

I seem to get the same error that others are getting. If I change the theme in ‘configure’ once the app is running, it will close and refuse to open again.

Logging out and back in solved it for me.

If you get the error again, try launching the config window via the cover itself.
open covergloobus.py
right click on it and select ‘config’.

It should pop up

Oddly mine worked fine until it froze and now i get the same ‘error’. I extracted the folder again and tried running but i get the same issue…

From what i understand it’s simply no longer seeing the path.. i think a reboot should solve it. We’ll see…

I don’t use Chromium I use Google-Chrome-Unstable and that issue/bug isn’t there anymore.

Though I’m not sure if it’s because i use a bleeding edge version of Do or whether it’s because i use Chrome and Chromium..

I see you have chromium in your gnome-do bar. Me too. But I noticed the annoying issue that when I click on the chromium icon, it appears a new chromium icon (less quality) on the bar.
Do you know how can I solve this issue?
