Hi,

I tried to install the 1.0.4 version on a fresh ubuntu 14.04 install, but when launching hamster i got this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anyone knows what's wrong ?

Thank you

[tstriker]

you could try running hamster-service from the terminal and check it out

[nchevobbe]

Running /usr/lib/hamster-time-tracker/hamster-service give me :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/hamster-time-tracker/hamster-service", line 20, in <module>
    from hamster import db
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster/db.py", line 53, in <module>
    class Storage(storage.Storage):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Storage'

Thank you

humm, not sure, looks like hamster wasn't installed properly

did you install hamster 1.04 from a PPA or following these instructions? https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/tree/hamster_stable

if from PPA, then i'd suggest to uninstall that and installing from the stable branch, and if that works, then file a bug against the PPA

[nchevobbe]

I did installed it from the stable branch, but i previously attempted from the Ubuntu App Store
I tried to uninstall/reinstall just now

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/hamster-time-tracker/
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/hamster

Downloaded the hamster stable master zip ( https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/archive/hamster_stable.zip ) and installed it :

sudo  apt-get install git-core gettext intltool python-gconf
./waf configure build --prefix=/usr
sudo ./waf install

Got the same errors than previously

[tstriker]

grabbing straws right now, but could you maybe paste the output of this guy?

ls -la /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster/

I'm under a 64 bits architectures if that matters
Thank you for helping me

[tstriker]

ah, here's the thing - the /hamster/storage folder is not there in the stable branch - that's a thing the master branch. so it seems you have the two guys battling there.

rm -Rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster

and then reinstall.

[nchevobbe]

Hurray, it works
Thank you, i was missing the app so bad

[abraxxa]

For me just removing the storage directory worked.

[sabrefm1-zz]

im currently running 18.04 as well but wasnt able to get the inidicator on the top tray working

[elbenfreund]

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.

Project hamster and its various sub-components is currently undergoing some major changes. We prepare the introduction of a rewritten codebase for most of the underlying functionality. A direct consequence of this is that it is unlikely that any open/new bugs within the current/old codebase will be fixed (unless someone steps up and offers to do so) as most resources currently available will be invested in making the rewrite prime time ready.
