[LINUX] "Python Script Failed" on every plugin?

ceros Wrote:Check to see if /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/python/python24.zip exists and if so, check it's contents. It should contain a bunch of python modules (i.e. threading.py, os.py, etc).

Not sure why, but the python24.zip, python24.zlib and DLLs folder were ALL missing! Doh! Thanks for the help Ceros. :cool2:

I've been suffering from this same issue. It turned out the problem was that I didn't have the "zip" program installed, therefore the compiled python libraries couldn't be zipped up.

Compilation of libPython gives the following non-blocking error:

Compilation carries on so I thought everything was fine. Thankyou ceros for giving me the inspiration to check the compile log closer.

Coincidently "zip" is not listed as a dependency in README.linux (although unzip is), perhaps this should be added?

i have all those files in there. Just unzipped python24....not the issue for me. im kinda limited on what i can test as the htpc harddrive is just about dead, im waiting on a zif>sata adapter so i can install an ssd into it. Server side storage ftw =].

all python scripts are not working for me.

i have "full fat" ubuntu jaunty 9.04
installed xbmc via apt-get (currently 9.04.1-jaunty1)

python24.zip is located in /usr/share/xbmc/system/python/ and there are the modules inside the zip folder.

i also tried a svn yesterday and it had the same problem.

i have the same exact problem as well. I thought it was only the Launcher plugin but now its others.

I have the same problem, but for now I just tested Launcher plugin

I am also having this problem. I download the xbmczone installer and extracted it. It told me to put it in the program fold and my 9.04 build for linux doesn't have that menu item. It doesnt exist right? So i put in the script fold and I get tat "special" python message..Is there another way to install the plugins or should i revert back to the stable 9.04 release instead of the svn. Any help would be awesome....

enable the Program button underneath Settings and then Skin Settings. it won't run as a script because it isn't a script.

I got this Problem too. I installed an old 8.10 Xubuntu about a 6 months ago and it works fine. But it doesn work anymore when i try to install it on a new HTPC. I tried to compile XBMX and to install it via apt-get, with or without Grafical Enviroment, dont matter what i do it just wont work anymore. I got "script failed" no scripts are working. I cant update XBMC under Xubuntu already looking an my Windows CD :mad:

Did anyone solve this problem?
