It installs fine, but when you run it: $ qcontrolcenter Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/qcontrolcenter", line 10, in from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui ImportError: No module named PyQt4 It's been that way since qt4 and its python bindings were removed from Slackware (meaning, it likely worked in 14.2, but not at all in 15.0). Since nobody ever reported this as a problem, it's likely that nobody has even tried to use qControlCenter since at least 2022. We don't have anything that provides PyQt4 in our repo. We do have pyqode.qt, which might substitute for it... except that pyqode.qt is for Python 3, and qControlCenter is in Python 2 (and won't run in 3). Does anyone object to me just removing qControlCenter from the repo?

On Thu, 22 Oct 2015 Thierry agreed that Didier Spaier take over the maintainance of the project. On Fri, 21 January 2022 agreed that Dimitris Tzemos take over the maintainance of the project and ported to python3 and PyQt5. and REQUIREMENTS: ------------- - Qt5 - python3 - pyqt5 (qt5 bindings for python3) CHANGELOG: ---------- Version 0.1 (launched 2008/05/20) - python2 and PyQt4 Version 0.3 (launced 2020/01/21) - Ported to python3 and PyQt5 I have no use for it and I hate python, but maybe someone else will step up. -kb From urchlay at slackware.uk Thu Sep 3 03:27:12 2026 From: urchlay at slackware.uk (B.

It's really just a single Python script with some icons and a .desktop file. Their qcontrolcenter-0.3.tar.xz is laid out like a Slackware package, but it's also the "source". If I install their package (qcontrolcenter-0.3-noarch-3dj.txz), it does run, and pops up instructions on how to set up $HOME so the application will actually do anything (without doing that, you get an empty window). I didn't jump through all the hoops, so I dunno if it really would work properly... but I bet it would. That said. I don't want to maintain this, I'd never use it anyway. Does anyone else? > or if it's even worth keeping if it is if no one has bothered reporting the original being broken.? Yeah, that makes me think it should just get removed. The only reason I hesitate is because it was Didier's build, and Didier was a friend.
