How to execute snapper-gui after installing?

I have successfully install snapper-gui via installation manual on Ubunut, but don't understand what to do next.

How to run this app after installing? I can't find any executable file in /usr/local/bin or in other folders.

Can you extend README.md via examples how to find and execute snapper-gui binary?

And will be good to see some screenshots in front page of snapper-giu github page, for understanding what users got after installing. Can you add example images?

Thanks.

After running sudo python3 setup.py develop you should be able to just run snapper-gui. I have also updated the readme with screenshots.

Thanks for the screenshots, but I can't run it:
$ snapper-gui
snapper-gui: command not found
$ sudo snapper-gui
sudo: snapper-gui: command not found

Maybe I miss some packages for run this app?

System is Ubuntu 14.10 AMD64, and here is output of install process:

Where can be the problem?

Do you have python-setuptools installed?

Alexey Murz Korepov · Answer 4 · Mon Mar 02 2015 22:59:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

No, python-setuptools is not installed, now I install it, but it isn't help:

$ sudo aptitude install python-setuptools

$ sudo python3 setup.py install
/usr/lib/python3.4/distutils/dist.py:260: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points'

snapper-gui: command not found

Maybe I need to add some folders to PATH variable?

Installing python3-setuptools package on Ubuntu solves the problem with installing snapper-gui, now snapper-gui runs, but show errors:
$ snapper-gui
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 2158, in _find_spec
AttributeError: 'DynamicImporter' object has no attribute 'find_spec'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I will try to google about them and fix with myself.

No, it's just not findig the entry points (see the warning) that are used to create the executable. I will see what i can do when i get to a computer.

This error solved via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21064163/what-do-i-have-to-install-to-resolve-could-not-find-any-typelib-for-gtksource-c
so I install additional packages:
$ sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0

After this something is run, but I did'nt see any gui, only this output in console:
$ sudo snapper-gui

(snappergui:653): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:59:16: Theming engine 'adwaita' not found

Ricardo Vieira · Answer 8 · Mon Mar 02 2015 23:17:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thats actually an issue i need to fix. You have to create a default config with snapper cli that will be named root

Ricardo Vieira · Answer 9 · Fri May 15 2015 10:10:40 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@MurzNN do you still have any issues that need to be solved?

Alexey Murz Korepov · Answer 10 · Fri May 15 2015 14:02:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Today I clone current fresh git repo, compile it via sudo python3 setup.py develop, but see same error after run:

$ sudo snapper-gui

(snappergui:6193): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:59:16: Theming engine 'adwaita' not found

(snappergui:6193): Gtk-WARNING **: Child name 'root' not found in GtkStack

Ricardo Vieira · Answer 11 · Fri May 15 2015 20:53:17 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@MurzNN you need to create a configuration named root (that's the default) with snapper cli. I will patch this in the future so that it works without any configuration.

dapeige · Answer 12 · Fri Jul 31 2015 16:00:07 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I got the same error >

(snappergui:10859): Gtk-WARNING **: Child name 'root' not found in GtkStack
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/snappergui-0.1-py3.4.egg/snappergui/application.py", line 58, in do_activate

KeyError: 'root'

what does "create a configuration named root (that's the default) with snapper cli" mean ?

@njzhaopei
Fire up a terminal, become root and # snapper -c root create-config /
You can read more about snapper at snapper.io or check both the Arch Linux and openSUSE wiki articles for further reference.

dapeige · Answer 14 · Mon Aug 10 2015 09:14:19 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thank for your replying. Originally I just want to see the GUI ,then I modified a python file and it works for me(though appear "key error"). I think this way ' snapper -c root create-config /' will help me solve all the problems.

tkSimon · Answer 15 · Fri Dec 18 2015 02:40:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I have dual boot on my laptop, with opensuse and fedore, both installed to the same btfs volume, in different subvolumes. My intention was to have 3 configs:

OpenSUSE
Fedora
home
Basically, no config named root. Are there any plans on getting this root config requirement removed?

Ricardo Vieira · Answer 16 · Fri Dec 18 2015 11:06:16 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@tkSimon Should be fixed now.

Thanks, at now Snapper GUI starts normally, here is good manual how to install it on Ubuntu: https://poisonpacket.wordpress.com/2015/06/04/installing-btrfs-snapper-gui-on-ubuntu-and-ubuntu-derivatives/
