Hi,

can you paste the console back (single user) when you try to launch flacon:

$ flacon

CC: (none) => geiger.david68210

this is all i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/flacon", line 6, in <module>
    execfile('/usr/share/flacon/flacon.py')
  File "/usr/share/flacon/flacon.py", line 26, in <module>
    from mainWindow_ui import Ui_mainWindow
  File "/usr/share/flacon/mainWindow_ui.py", line 308, in <module>

  File "/usr/share/flacon/trackset.py", line 20, in <module>
    from chardet.universaldetector import UniversalDetector
ImportError: No module named chardet.universaldetector

Ok, it seems to miss python-chardet package 
or if you use python3 you need install python3-chardet.

try with this.

uhm...i don't know what i use, the system is Mageia 4 x86_64 with KDE, installed from DVD-install

By default the system uses python2 then you can install python-chardet package.

I installed "python-chardet" and flacon is now started, no other problem noticed so far.

Thanks!

all right, everything is ok then :)

thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for resolving the problem so fast :D

often the console can be your friend to find the solution, a bit like google. :)

IF you know HOW to look for that solution :) 
I have about 2 years since i've switched entirely from win to linux, specificaly to mageia and i am still learning/testing/discover things with other distros too.  
In this case i could not imagine that i need python-chardet in order to get those things missing, i was looking in console like...a cat in the calendar :))
Anyway, i was thinking it's a bug because in Mageia 3 i was using flacon with no problem/without install that package, so...:)
Maybe it was removed from Mageia 4, or maybe it's because i have clicked "unselect all" and then click the DE when i installed Mageia, i don't know.

Thanks for already committing the fix for cauldron. Would have been nice if you would have left a comment here about that :/
May I ask why you didn't submit a build for this? Shall I do this?

And why did you apply those cosmetic fixes to the updates/mga4 branch in svn?

Yes you can submit this one on Cauldron.
I am an apprentice at the moment so I can not do the little submit.

If I have not done for updates/mga4, thank you for correcting me and I'm very sorry.

bug is now fixed in Cauldron with new release flacon-0.8.0-3.mga5.

- added 'python-chardet' package as a Requires to fix it.

After some IRC discussion everything is fine, apprentices cannot submit :)

flacon-0.8.0-3.mga5 has been submitted to cauldron.
flacon-0.8.0-2.1.mga4 has been submitted to mga4 core/updates_testing.

@David: Can you please follow up on on the last 3 bullets of https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy#Maintainer_.28or_any_interested_packager.29 please?
If you have any further questions please let me know :)

Advisory:
========================

It's missing a require on the flacon package of Mageia 4.
If no other package pulling 'python-chardet' are installed on the computer, flacon can't start and run. This update adds this missing require.

========================

Packages in 4/core/updates_testing:
========================
flacon-0.8.0-2.1.mga4.noarch.rpm

Source RPM: 
========================
flacon-0.8.0-2.1.mga4.src.rpm

How to test this update request:
========================
- Install a system and and make sure you don't have 'python-chardet' installed.
- Install 'flacon' from core/release and see if it starts and runs
normally you must have the message: 
ImportError: No module named chardet.universaldetector
- Install 'flacon' from core/updates_testing and check if it will install 'python-chardet' and if it will start and run now
