 |
|
Hi all,
When I issue | Code: | | pdfmerger a.pdf b.pdf out.pdf |
I get the an error and no output is produced:
| Code: |
$ pdfmerger a.pdf b.pdf out.pdf
'eselect python show' printed unrecognized value ''
Couldn't get needed information
|
This happens only when I try it as normal user. As root I can happily merge pdfs -- which is obviously not satisfying on the long run.
I thought maybe it has something todo with my java-vm or python settings. The python settings seem o.k. for both normal user and root:
| Code: |
$ eselect python list --python2
Available Python 2 interpreters:
[1] python2.7 *
$ eselect python list --python3
Available Python 3 interpreters:
[1] python3.1 *
|
For the java-vm I get the following output as normal user:
| Code: |
$ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea6-bin system-vm user-vm
|
... and as root ...
| Code: |
$ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea6-bin system-vm
|
But strangely, if I query for a list of vms with java-config as normal user I get similar output as with pdfmerge:
| Code: |
$ java-config --list-available-vms
'eselect python show' printed unrecognized value ''
|
As root it just shows what it should:
| Code: |
$ java-config --list-available-vms
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*) IcedTea6-bin 1.10.2 [icedtea6-bin]
|
I've got no clue how to solve this and how to proceed.[/code]
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks!

what about running eselect python show?
AFAIK it should return your main python version.

Hi Veldrin,
it shows the current version for both root and user.
| Code: |
$ eselect python show --python2
python2.7
$ eselect python show --python3
python3.1
|
I noticed one thing but I don't know whether it is relevant. Under root the python2 version is marked with an asterisk with `eselect python list` but not as user:
| Code: |
$ eselect python list # normal user
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7
[2] python3.1
$ sudo eselect python list # root
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7 * # <------
[2] python3.1

It took a long time during which I could mostly ignore this problem but in the end the solution was easy.
The file /etc/env.d/python/config, which is read by the python eselect module, was inaccessible for users. Changing the permission fixed the problem with the pdfmerger.
