problems installing pytelemeter

[snake]

Hello,

I use pytelemeter to check my bandwidth usage,
but since I upgraded to mint 7 I have some problems.
When I try to install pytelemeter again it says the newest version is installed.
When I want to start pytelemeter he says he can't find any pytelemeter.
Anyone an idea what can be wrong?

thx in advance

I assume you tried to run pytelemeter from a terminal? If so what message did you get?
Also, try this:

sudo updatedb
locate pytelemeter

(that will show you all its files and where the executable is stored (usually /usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin)

Then try running it directlry such as : /usr/local/bin/pytelemeter
Once you know where the executable is you can create a menu listing for it.

You could also try "whereis pytelemeter"

this is the message I get when I try to open pytelemeter:

snake@snake-desktop ~ $ pytelemeter-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pytelemeter", line 50, in <module>
from pytelemeter.Telemeter import Telemeter
ImportError: No module named pytelemeter.Telemeter

when I update and try to locate this is what I get:

snake@snake-desktop ~ $ locate pytelemeter
/usr/bin/pytelemeter
/usr/bin/pytelemeter-gtk

run it directly:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pytelemeter", line 50, in <module>
from pytelemeter.Telemeter import Telemeter
ImportError: No module named pytelemeter.Telemeter


I do know that the telemeter isn't programmed with my telenet login but normally after I install telemter and run the gtk version
I can program it and it works normal, but not now
Any idea what is wrong or do you need more information?

Those error messges are Python error messages so I suspect it was not packaged properly in the first place. I suggest you will more likely find an answer to your question at the pytelemeter mailing list rather than at this forum. Try: http://pytelemeter.sourceforge.net/index.php?support
