But their problem surfaced during the compilation time. Maybe there was a problem with the cmake build system with 4.5.1 and your distro has a patch to fix it? - Oct 15 2010

You need to do a
sed -i 's|4,5,2|4,5,1|' ions/ions_*
After that, everything works. - Oct 12 2010

In the header of the source files it says "Copyright: Do what you want, whenever you want.", which implies Public Domain, whereas in the README file it says "See the GPL (General Public Licence)"
So is this Public Domain or GPL? - May 02 2009

Your problem looks like a distribution issue. The python superkaramba is using is not the python pyqt is compiled for, as far as I understood.
Keep an eye on updates. It should be fixed soon. Well, it may be fixed by now.
By the way, I just started porting soundmania to KDE 4. It should be done very soon. - Aug 08 2008

I don't know how things work in gentoo, but try to locate your "qt" module. In my system (fedora) it is located at:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/qt.so
Yours should be somewhere close. Python looks at a couple places for modules when they are called, these are defined in $SYSPATH. The directories "/usr/lib/python2.5/" and "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/" are two of those places. Try to put a symlink to your own "qt" module in one of these directories and name your symlink "qt.so". The command you need is (as root):
ln -s /path/to/your/module.so /usr/lib/python-2.5/
Note that the "python-2.5" above might be different in your installation.
If this does not work, post me the contents of your PyQt-3.17 package and the directory where all your other regular python modules are installed. - Mar 29 2008

I don't know what to say. I appreciate your dedication to test and report bugs for soundmania.
Can you send me the contents of the ~/.superkaramba/soundmania/config file so I can try to reproduce the bug myself (you can email me or post it here)? Also inform me about your pykde status and your cpu type. I am also wondering: Does your cpu jump to 100% suddenly or does it gradually increase?
I found a couple other minor bugs so I think I will have to release a 3.0.1 version soon. - Feb 20 2008

Karamba & Superkaramba by ogetbilo 289 comments
For the time being I still have no idea what's going on. Can you try erasing all the config files, both old and new:
rm -fr /home/your_username/.superkaramba/soundmania*
rm -fr /home/your_username/.albumcovers/temp
(the second one may not exist)
Did you ever try 2.9 on another system?

/home/pol/.superkaramba/soundmania/config
there is a line called language, change that line to:
language = ""
It should work fine thenafter. Or alternatively, for a fresh start delete that config file. I'll also recommend deleting the /home/pol/.superkaramba/soundmania.rc
file (and perhaps all the soundmania files and subdirectories in that directory) - Oct 18 2007

Did you set the debug mode to 2? See above for howto. Maybe there is an indentation error somewhere else. Python does this sometimes. - Oct 09 2007

Karamba & Superkaramba by ogetbilo 289 comments
The second error is not actually an error. It is an exception. 'Dying with status 6' means no player is found. What player are you trying? Did you try selecting that player instead of using the auto mode?
Thanks for the feedback. - Jul 21 2007

unzip soundmania-2.8.skz
Then comment out the line
sm_config.py, line 698
(Put a # in front of the line.)
Then start soundmania with
superkaramba soundmania.theme inside the same directory.
But really, this shouldn't happen unless you don't have a F1 button.
It works for me. I will check it on other computers I have. - Jul 04 2007

Karamba & Superkaramba by ogetbilo 289 comments
Please try it and let me know if there is any problem.
Thanks for your time. - Jun 13 2007

If there is a significant jump in the time elapsed that usually means that the track has changed, so soundmania asks amarok for the title, artist and bps, only once! If it asked for these things (title and artist name) every second the widget will consume lots of cpu, we don't want this.
If the player is idle, soundmania makes searches for the players it supports. These searches are made every few seconds in the "auto player" mode. If it finds a working player it switches to that one.
This is the most cpu friendly way I found to make soundmania work.
There could be 2 issues to check in your case:
1- The auto-player function may be causing the cpu spikes. Turn that off in the config menu. Pick the player you are using, so soundmania won't make player searches every few seconds. See if you still have spikes.
2- Soundmania is asking for the artist name and title every few seconds although it is not supposed to do so. This needs debugging. First of all you should tell me if you use PyKDE. It can be turned on/off in the config menu. Change it and see if the situation changes. PYKDE uses different calls. Although using it saves some cpu, it is found that this crashes in some systems.
Other than these two things, you should try to change the smoothness in the config menu, and see if it makes any difference. Tell me if it does.
Cheers. - May 29 2007

KDE4 will be out in a couple months written with qt4. pyqt4 is also rewritten. I will expect to rewrite the soundmania engine with pyqt4 by the end of this year. I will hopefully have a 64bit system by then.
About the 100% cpu problem: I don't know what to say. I have the problem myself with pykde on. The code is really long, and I cannot solve the problem without a traceback (or luck). I think I have to compile superkaramba myself with verbose output support. I'll see what I can do.
Sorry for not being of much help. - May 09 2007

It looks like amarok developers have changed their dcop api.
I'll see what I can do.
Clicking (anywhere) on the theme updates it correctly, at least on my machine. There is no need to reload the theme. - Sep 28 2006

edit soundmania.py. find the line (around ~390):
(1 line)
playermodulelist = os.popen("ls %s*py |grep -v sm_album.py |grep -v sm_config.py |grep -v soundmania.py |grep -v myplayer.py"%(theme_path)).readlines()
replace it via

/home/kriko/Osebno/Kde style/Superkaramba/soundmania-2.7.1/soundmania.theme
It has a space between "Kde" and "style".
I didn't know about this. I'll see what I can do.
For a workaround you can make a sym link that does not contain a space in the path name:
ln -s /home/kriko/Osebno/Kde\ style /home/kriko/Osebno/.Kde_style
superkaramba /home/kriko/Osebno/.Kde_style/Superkaramba/soundmania-2.7.1/soundmania.theme
or just move soundmania to a directory which doesn't have spaces in the parent directories. - Jul 17 2006

After an upgrade, I had exactly the same problem in my system (dcopclient attribute error). I kept using the old version of pykde for a while. One day, I accidentally upgraded pykde again. Now I can't find the old version and pykde doesn't work for me either. I'm using Fedora Core 5.
Strangely enough, pykde works in my laptop which has Kubuntu installed.
For the time, I suggest to disable pykde. I will see if there is a change in the pykde api that does not accept the dcop calls which the old pykde used to accept. - Jul 01 2006

Karamba & Superkaramba by ogetbilo 289 comments
Can you enable the debug mode (soundmania.py line ~60) and send me the output (with enabled pykde).
If you get an output that tells a module (possibly dcop) cannot be found (or cannot be loaded), then there is a problem with your pykde installation. You may try an older version of pykde.
I'm using FC5 and Kubuntu. Sometimes whenever I upgrade my pykde, it does not work for soundmania. I don't know a solution for this yet.
Sorry for the late reply.
Orcan
General information:
I didn't have much time to improve soundmania in the past months. I am struggling with my phd. But I plan to do some work on it this weekend. I already received a couple of new translations, which I am going to include. Other then this, I will add PIL (python image library) support, which works (kind of) faster than imagemagick. Other than that, I will put an option to the config window for enabling PyKDE. - Jun 29 2006

Karamba & Superkaramba by ogetbilo 289 comments
Try for example to disable to download missing albumcovers from internet, or try not displaying the albumcover at all.
Just try different combinations and tell me if you have a case where soundmania does not crash.
Is there any player that does not crash sounmania?
For BMP, you have to install xmmsctrl (the link is above).
I wish I had an amd64... :/ - Jun 08 2006

Karamba & Superkaramba by ogetbilo 289 comments
I remember from other people that pyqt has some issues in amd64 systems. I currently don't own a amd64 computer and can't solve the problem.
Could you instead try disabling pyqt for the widget. To do that, you have to open the file soundmania.py, go around line 60, change the line that corresponds to disable pyqt to:
force_nonpyqt = 1
Also try disabling pykde by changing the corresponding line to (if it is not already so):
force_nonpykde = 1
The payback for this change is, the widget will consume a little more cpu and you won't have the nice configuration window (all the config options are still available in the 'configure theme' menu)
Let's see if the widget works fine that way.
I'll be away for a couple more days, I'm sorry if I can't reply soon. - Jun 06 2006

- Only the font title and font size are effective in the font selection dialog
Unfortunately, this is beyond my python knowledge. What I might suggest is you can play with your encoding settings. Select a Greek encoding and see if it works that way.

Anyway, it shouldn't have crashed your kde. There is no malacious code in soundmania. Did you ever try to create that directory by hand?
I will release the new version today, with a couple fixes and translations. Hopefully in a couple of hours. - Apr 02 2006

Can you tell me which player you are using, and the status of the player (playing, paused, stopped etc.)?
Did you reenable pykde?
I will try to reproduce the issue myself.
