FileNotFoundError

[yochananmarqos]

I installed the AUR package on Manjaro Cinnamon and the GUI will not launch:

$ su -c "netgui"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/netgui/main.py", line 559, in <module>
    NetGUI()
  File "/usr/share/netgui/main.py", line 114, in __init__
    self.notifications = Notification()
  File "/usr/share/netgui/Library/notifications.py", line 9, in __init__
    user_prefs = json.load(open(preferences_file))
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/netgui/preferences.json'

All that is in /var/lib/netgui is program.pid.

Hey,

Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into it soon. Pretty clear what is happening, but need to look at why.

Same problem here with netgui 0.85-1

I believe this might be fixed in the new push to the develop branch pushed as part of c275c22, but I don't have an Arch Linux system handy at the moment. I'm working on buying an old laptop I can throw Arch on so that I can get back to testing/development of this (or alternatively/preferably, hoping my a new charger will get my Sager gaming laptop up again, and I can just install Arch on it).

If you want to try pulling the develop code and see if it works, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll test this code once I can procure/build Arch on a laptop again. If it works, I'll merge and update the AUR.

Basically, it isn't pre-creating a default prefs file. Simple problem, hopefully this simple solutions fixes it.

@codywd Yes, it's fixed in the develop branch.

FYI, I edited the shebang in setup.py to #!/usr/bin/python and used python-setuptools, python2-setuptools was not required.

Perfect, any other issues related to the FileNotFound or is it good? I updated setup.py in 35ae570 to reflect the change you made and PKGBUILD in 4d96891
