Gmoccapy fails to load on live CD installation

I installed from the live CD for uspace installation. When loading Gmoccapy I get this error

Found an error!
The following information may be useful in troubleshooting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gmoccapy", line 102, in <module>
from gmoccapy import player # a class to handle sounds
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gmoccapy/player.py", line 27, in <module>
import gst
ImportError: No module named gst

Any ideas please?

This is the image that I downloaded

www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreem...-uspace-amd64-r9.iso

Hallo Marius,

could you please check if python-gst- is installed?
If so, what release?
If possible install 0.10.

I do not know if the testing stretck CD does contain gmoccapy 1.XX or 2.XX, IMHO that dependency is fixed in 2.XX.
(open /usr/bin/gmoccapy with gedit and check for release number)

Hi Norbert
Gmoccapy release is 1.5.8.
Why would they use such an old release in the latest suggested Uspace image? I feel that the sanity is slowly slipping out of Linuxcnc. It is more and more difficult to get things done if you are not a guru developer

There is no point in looking further to solve the problem of gst if the rest is not up to date.

I am busy installing manual now from the documentation. It seemed to be ok before so I will see how it goes once I am done.
It might still be the easiest way

If I can recommend, stay away from Debian 9 Stretch for now. It doe snot work as many dependencies are left out from the distro.
Wheezy seems to be stable. Trying that now.

I am using actualy Mint 18 together with master, running fine with kernel .11 with rt-preemp patch

Just use master to get the best out of gmoccapy

Hi Norbert
On my own machine I will do that but on a customer machine I want to use the most stable release.

I installed the Wheezy live CD and then did the RT kernel and Uspace install as per the documentation. It works great for now.
