PoMoCo, Tk and linux

Hexy Questions, Problems and Suggestions
#1

Not really a Hexy issue. I’m trying to get PoMoCo up and running on an ARM chromebook. I’ve installed archlinuxARM, got xfce4 running, installed python 2.7, pyserial 2.6 and TK 8.6. I am now running into an error when I start up PoMoCo.py. It appears TK 8.6 is stricter than prior versions of TK. I now get an error message “cannot use geometry manager pack inside .# which already has slaves managed by grid”

Has anyone else tried PoMoCo on linux? Can you let me know what version of TK you are running? I’m going to try installing a prior revision, hopefully that will work.

This is what leads me to believe tk 8.5 will work

The fix will likely cause problems if/when I add moves to PoMoCo but for now it works. I commented out the l2.pack() line in the addSpace function of GUI.py and that fixes the TK 8.6 error about mixing pack and grid. The GUI looks the same as before too.

So I now have Hexy being driven by a chromebook!
