Question

Chrome edition of Uget wrapper can't detect Python after reinstallation

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 13 comments

For some reason, ever since I reinstalled Python 3.6.2 (I originally had the 32bit version, now I have the 64 bit), the extension keeps saying "Error: Unable to connect to the uget-chrome-wrapper". I tried the following:

Uninstall and reinstall Python
Uninstall and reinstall uGet Wrapper
Added all PATH variables for Uget + Wrapper and PYTHON_HOME variable
Removed and reinstall extension
Restart computer about 5 times

This happens on Vivaldi 1.11.917.43 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

Hi,
Again I need some time to test this on my VM. I will update you on coming Monday.

Hi,
I have tried Python 3.6 with uGet Chrome Wrapper 2.0.5 and uGet Integration extension 2.0.9 but everything works fine in my system.
Could you please make sure that you have these environment variables:

PATH

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36;C:\uget\bin;C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts

PYTHONPATH

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib;C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages

I've checked but it still doesn't work. I've completely wiped my computer clean and the extension still doesn't detect the wrapper program. This time I have everything in the SYSTEM environment variables (as I had installed Python for the system so I can use Google Assistant on my computer)

Answer 4 · 2017-10-01T00:16:37.000Z

I've done something like this all in Path: %ProgramFiles%\Python36;%ProgramFiles%\Python36\Scripts;%SystemDrive%\uGet\bin;%SystemDrive%\uGet;

And in PYTHONPATH: %ProgramFiles%\Python36\Lib;%ProgramFiles%\Python36\Lib\site-packages

The problem seems to be strange.
I will try to produce this in a new VM and let you know.
Meanwhile could you please follow the steps given in #20 to enable the log and see if there is a log generated by uget-chrome-wrapper.
To get log output, just start a browser with the extension.

Answer 6 · 2017-10-02T00:54:54.000Z

I can't even get the log to start with Vivaldi or Chrome. loading the extension on chrome gives me the same exact error

Answer 7 · 2017-10-02T11:26:40.000Z

It seems like the extension and/or the program isn't executing at all, as I can't get a log to generate

Answer 8 · 2017-10-02T11:29:07.000Z

I guess the problem is with the program.
I will test it in a new VM today and let you know what happens.

Answer 9 · 2017-10-03T19:08:43.000Z

Now I installed a new Windows 10 in VM with latest Vivaldi, Python 3.6.2 (64 bit) (allowed to create PATH variables in the installation wizard), latest uGet (added uget/bin directory to environment variable PATH), uget-chrome-wrapper 2.0.5(latest) and the latest uGet Integration extension.

After installing all, I restarted the browser and everything works as expected and I couldn't reproduce the problem :-(

Answer 10 · 2017-10-04T00:34:04.000Z

Did you put path in the system path? I have everything in the system environmental varaibles

Answer 11 · 2017-10-04T00:34:23.000Z

And this is occurring on both computers

Answer 12 · 2017-10-04T03:17:05.000Z

WOW... Apparently all it took to get it working was a simple reboot of my PC (both of them). Facepalm Guess even the most simplest solutions make a difference

Answer 13 · 2017-10-04T11:28:31.000Z

I think the modified PATH variable was not applied to the system. Usually, we need to restart the system after modifying this variable.

Anyhow if the problem is solved, I can relax :-)
