vagnum08 / cpupower-gui

When launching version 0.9.0 built from git (tag v0.9.0), I get:

% cpupower-gui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/nix/store/96l1iirm7i91211a3c3xl2ysam3y83b8-cpupower-gui-0.9.0/bin/.cpupower-gui-wrapped", line 126, in <module>

    files = self.user_conf.glob("*.profile")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'glob'

running with Python 3.7.

I didn't do anything other than installing 0.9.0 and launching it. 0.8.0 still runs fine.

Setup (please complete the following information):

Distro: NixOS
Package version: 0.9.0
Installed via: source

Hi @unode, this one should be trivial to fix.

There is a temporary fix from your side while I am fixing it in master.
I assume you haven't added the pyxdg as a dependency and is not installed.
If xdg is missing XGD_PATH and user_conf are None.

cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/config.py

Line 13 in f323899

XDG_PATH = None

You can add xdg for now as a required dependency instead of a suggested one.
In the meantime I will add a check so it doesn't fail if is not set.

Give it a try and let me know

Added pyxdg but get a different error:

Before I had a file ~/.config/cpupower_gui/99-allcpus.conf with the contents discussed in #24 and got a different exception.
The error on this one was clear and adding a line [GUI] solved it:

Hunting down libappindicator to see if it helps.

Adding libappindicator as a dependency fixes the last issue.
It's now running fine.

Offtopic: I noticed that the frequencies are now floats instead of integers which makes the last digit get slightly covered.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Appindicator is currently required.

I had a quick test, it worked as expected.
Could you try installing commit 42c8835 and see if it works.
I also noticed that I wasn't reading any profile files from /ect/cpupower_gui.d/.
I fixed that too.

Offtopic:
As for the 99-allcpus-default.conf, yes the sections are required.
The main config file(cpupower_gui.conf) will always have all the options available so users can copy a subset for their overrides.

For the digits, apparently it depends on theming. I had the same issue initially.
However, I added some space. I will have a look.

42c8835 works here too, with and without pyxdg.

About the appindicator, I had a simple except clause and now added ImportError however gi.require_version raises ValueError.

So appindicator would be optional.
