Description

QGIS master fails to support Python on Ubuntu 14.04, raises this error on starting from the build dir:

Couldn't load PyQGIS.
Python support will be disabled.

getvalue() did not return a string

Python version:
2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 18:01:27) 
[GCC 4.8.2]

QGIS version:
2.13.0-Master 'Master', 6e1df49

Python path:
['/usr/src/qgis/build/master/output/python', u'/home/strk/.qgis2/python', u'/home/strk/.qgis2/python/plugins', '/usr/src/qgis/build/master/output/python/plugins', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nik2img-0.8.0-py2.7.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/multicorn-1.0.3_dev-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GDAL-1.11.0-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cartman-0.2.3-py2.7.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode']

Note that 2.8 branch has no problems with python (when also started from build dir)

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 9 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

no problems here on the same platform.

#2 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 9 years ago

this was with commit 6e1df491f64bff1b778502d7d53f37256afcd6f6 and the configuration script is:

DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH` # returns x86_64-linux-gnu

cmake \\
  -D PYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/${DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH}/libpython2.7.so \\
  -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \\
  -D WITH_SERVER=ON \\
  -D WITH_STAGED_PLUGINS=ON \\
  -D ENABLE_TESTS=1 \\
  -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/ccache/g++ \\
  -D WITH_ASTYLE=1 \\
  -D WITH_INTERNAL_QWTPOLAR=1

The build happens in a newly created dir.

#3 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 9 years ago

The build happens in a newly created dir.

I can compile but I usually don't. It works ok if you install master with the nightly repo.

#4 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

I'm still having this problem as of commit 8996be9ad1c8c78c8994a9c9628a17bd684abf4e
(December 2, 2015).

#5 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

Sorry, on a more careful read of the error, the message is now different:

Python support will be disabled.

Also happens after wiping out the ~/.qgis2 directory

Is QtSql a new dependency?

#6 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

I find python3-pyqt4.qtsql and python3-pyqt5.qtsql packaged, but none for python 2.7, which I'm using.
Is python 2.7 still supposed to be supported by qgis-2.12 ?

#7 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

Both the db_manager and the processing plugins use the QtSql package.
No plugin did that in QGIS 2.8.

libqt4-sql
and
python-qt4-sql

#9 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 9 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented

Installing python-qt4-sql fixed the issue, thanks Luigi Pirelli for the hint.
The getvalue() I cannot reproduce anymore so assuming fixed.
