Having trouble running Mopidy on Raspbian Jessie

General
1

Hi there,

I have installed mopidy for Jessie as instructed on the website. Install gave no errors. On running mopidy I get the following error. Any ideas on where to start?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mopidy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/mopidy”, line 9, in
load_entry_point(‘Mopidy==2.0.1’, ‘console_scripts’, ‘mopidy’)()

return ep.load()

File “/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/main.py”, line 8, in

File “/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/internal/gi.py”, line 9, in
gi.require_version(‘Gst’, ‘1.0’)
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘require_version’

Any help greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Please provide the output of mopidy deps .

Modpidy deps gives me the same error:

mopidy deps

I’ve tried reinstalling pip and python, for the same result.

I literally just did this on the very latest (September) Raspbian image. Exactly which instructions did you follow, https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/debian/ ? Could you paste the output of:

  • ls -l /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi.
  • cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list

Yes, those were the instructions I used.

Here’s what I get for those commands:

Could you try reinstalling python-gi? sudo apt-get install python-gi --reinstall

I’ve reinstalled python gi and mopidy gives the same error:

I then tried reinstalling mopidy, and the same error persists:

Tried again with a fresh install of Jessie, and it worked first time.
Must have had some corrupt python files.

Thanks for your help anyway.
