Execution failing

[MisterT2]

Hi,
Already Glance-addict for a while (v 1.2), I tried latest version (1.4) on my Ubuntu Lucid.
Installation was done via .tar.gz file, and the command "sudo python setup.py install"

First, I had to install Ubuntu package python-setuptools, as this is not available by default on this release (sudo apt-get install python-setuptools)

During Glances installation procedure, it detectereleasedd incorrect version of python-psutil and install it itself.

Then, all looks fine...
... but I get the following error message when launching "glances":

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/glances", line 9, in
load_entry_point('Glances==1.4', 'console_scripts', 'glances')()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 299, in load_entry_point
return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2229, in load_entry_point
return ep.load()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1948, in load
entry = import(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['name'])
ImportError: No module named glances

I have no experience of Python, so, may be this is very straight forward ?

Thanks,

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Can you try with the following archive: https://github.com/downloads/nicolargo/glances/glances-1.4.tar.gz

For an easy installation, you can also try the official PPA:

Same issue on my Debian server... :(

A very dirty hack:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/glances

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/glances-1.4-py2.6.egg/glances/glances.py /usr/local/bin/glances

...

The "dirty hack" works fine, that's all what I need for now...
I let this comment open, if you ever come to propose a "clean hack"... :-)

Thanks a lot Nico (for the tip and for the tool) !

Oups....
I was a little bit too fast answering there...

I tried your hack, but I get:

/usr/local/bin/glances:617: DeprecationWarning: this property is deprecated; use Process.get_nice() method instead
procstat['nice'] = proc.nice
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/glances", line 2064, in

File "/usr/local/bin/glances", line 1152, in displayLoad
"{:.2f}".format(load['min1']), 8)
ValueError: zero length field name in format

(note that I had to slightly modify the link in the "hack":
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Glances-1.4-py2.6.egg/glances/glances.py /usr/local/bin/glances
)

And when I try the PPA repository, I get version 1.3.7 installed (not 1.4.0 !)

This issue (ValueError: zero length field name in format / #52) has been solved yesterday in the last build.

Download the last archive: https://github.com/downloads/nicolargo/glances/glances-1.4.tar.gz

This latest version + the "horrible hack" => works fine !

Many thanks :-)
