Cannot start gtk GUI about pynvim HOT 11 CLOSED

If started as python -m neovim.ui.cli -gn -c , I got an error TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'

It seems like your'e missing cairo gobject bindings. Whats your OS/version?

from pynvim.

Oh it could be, let me try.
I'm using Ubuntu 14.10

from pynvim.

Try apt-get install python-gi-cairo

from pynvim.

Thanks, I've just installed and package and tried again, now a window flashes before it immediately disappeared, and the program exited without any error.

from pynvim.

Oh, but python ... -gn is able to run now.

What command you tried? BTW you don't need the -n flag, its just a helper I added for attaching the screen during functional tests.

from pynvim.

python -m neovim.ui.cli -gn -c <listen_path>.
Btw, I didn't install the package, I just ran it in the root dir.

from pynvim.

python -m neovim.ui.cli -gn -c <listen_path>.
Btw, I didn't install the package, I just ran it in the root dir

Even without installing the package there shouldn't be a problem, I just did it on my machine and it successfully connects to <listen_path>. Can you add some print statements to discover whats wrong?

from pynvim.

OK I'll try. It could be some missing packages also, as I didn't install the meta ubuntu package.

from pynvim.

python -m neovim.ui.cli -gn -c .
Btw, I didn't install the package, I just ran it in the root dir

Hmm now that I think about it, this shouldn't work on master because the abstract ui termcap isn't used by default(I've been using the neovim/neovim#1820 branch for some time now). If you start a normal nvim instance it will use the old terminal UI/termcap.

Try this though:

• In one shell, enter python -m neovim.ui.cli -g -l /tmp/nvim (start a new instance with abstract ui listening on /tmp/nvim)
• From another shell, enter python -m neovim.ui.cli -g -c /tmp/nvim (connect to the previous instance)

from pynvim.

It's working now! Thanks!
