Hello

I'm with the same problem. I have openSUSE 11.2 installed and the username field of Emesene is unavailable, I have tried the source tarball and the Yast install trough PackMan repository, same thing on both.

I followed this tutorial, but even as root the username field show's up.

Any ideas on how to solve?

Tks.

i tried searching for similar bugs with gtk+kde in order to see if we can workaround this but no luck so far.. 

[arielj]

we can try forcing the "editable" property of that text entry with this method http://library.gnome.org/devel/pygtk/2.16/class-gtkeditable.html#method-gtkeditable--set-editable

maybe this can help? i don't have opensuse to test it

[C10uD]

can you try that, kde friends?

[Demitri Maximoff]

Tk's for helping but, I don't understand exactly what I have to do. I'm not a pro in Linux yet 

Can someone explain more detailed, or have a simplier solution?

Open the Login.py file, look for line 66

Code:

        self.tUser = gtk.ComboBoxEntry(self.userListStore, 0)

and add a new line just below that:

Code:

        self.tUser = gtk.ComboBoxEntry(self.userListStore, 0)
        self.tUser.child.set_sensitive(True)

This should force the entry to be sensitive (I was trying to say sensitive in my last post, but I couldn't remember the right name ) and you should be able not grayed out.

If it's not grayed but you still can't write, put this instead:

Code:

        self.tUser = gtk.ComboBoxEntry(self.userListStore, 0)
        self.tUser.child.set_sensitive(True)
        self.tUser.child.set_editable(True)

Tks for the explanation arielj.

I did exactly as you said, but still don't work :/

I also deleted the emesene folder in home user, but doesn't make difference.

My login.py file whitout changes:

        # Make a ListStore for users
        self.userListStore = gtk.ListStore(gobject.TYPE_STRING, gtk.gdk.Pixbuf)
        # User entry with combo (from ListStore)
        self.tUser = gtk.ComboBoxEntry(self.userListStore, 0)
        self.tUser.connect("changed", self.on_comboxEntry_changed)
        self.tUser.connect("key-release-event", self.on_comboxEntry_keyrelease)
        # User entry completion (from ListStore)
        self.userCompletion = gtk.EntryCompletion()
        self.userCompletion.set_model(self.userListStore)
        self.tUser.get_children()[0].set_completion(self.userCompletion)
        self.userCompletion.connect('match-selected', self.matchSelected)
        # Add pictures to the completion
        self.userPixbufCell = gtk.CellRendererPixbuf()
        self.userCompletion.pack_start(self.userPixbufCell)
        self.userCompletion.add_attribute(self.userPixbufCell, 'pixbuf', 1)
        self.userCompletion.set_text_column(0)

Any ideas?

I have NO idea, I've just downloaded the latest OpenSuse 11.2 with KDE 4 and tried emesene. The user entry was grayed out and I tried setting every related widget to sensitive and it still refuses to work. I really don't know what to do, I've added the "set_sensitive(True)" everywhere and removed all the "set_sensitive(False)" in the file...

I have no idea what to do...

[Demitri Maximoff]

Thanks for your work arielj.

Unfortunately I have no idea on how to solve either :/

I think that might be a problem with Python or some missing library, but on other side I'm using Pidgin that is also Python/GTK and works just fine. Sadly Pidgin does not support MSN Plus nicks, and some other things.

Hope someone can fix it.

Tks anyway.

Freakin' f you are so right about that lolll and I am well placed to know that with past issues I had with newer (but also older) stuff. loll


I tested emesene in ALL the opensuse 11.2 Milestones (before final) and did not have that problem. I tested with RC1 as well, but I did NOT test on RC2... so maybe something changed from RC2 and now to final.

I will install it soon (hopefully) and will report my result. It better work, otherwise I cannot use opensuse at all! lolll How dependent from emesene am I, hey... loll So we'll see what workaround to do if it doesn't work.
