I have installed EVERPAD a client for Evernote by following way in my Ubuntu 12.04lts 32bit but I am getting the following error, can anybody fix this.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvbn-rm/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install everpad

When I am typing $everpad in terminal I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/everpad", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2735, in <module>

I'm having the same problem today. Can't start Everpad. Killed all Everpad related processes, no difference. Did the "sudo apt-get install python-pyside", still no luck. Get the following if I try to run "everpad --verbose" from command-line:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/everpad", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2805, in working_set.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 696, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 594, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: PySide

I have been using everpad for nearly a year. Last week I updated Ubuntu 12.04 by using the hwe packages to update the kernel to 3.5.0. Everpad was still working okay. Then an update to everpad came through and it will now not start. I get the same error as above.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/everpad", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2707, in working_set.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 686, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 584, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: PySide

Interestingly, I tried testing Everpad in a live boot and still had the same issue. The latest repositories just do not like the PySide module. A little research suggests its to do with latest 'sqlalchemy' version I believe (could be wrong there so don't quote me on that).

I have managed to move it passed the PySide error. I now get it stuck here:

$ everpad

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/interface/editor.py", line 125, in <module>
    from PySide import QtWebKit
ImportError: cannot import name QtWebKit

I have found the below link which managed to get me this. It took me a little longer for me to get this far because I had a few other problems along the way, but it may work for you:

https://github.com/nvbn/everpad/issues/401

Looks like the issue is with the PySide install not having the .egg-info. Apparently something to do with the way apt-get installs python-pyside. However it doesn't seem to install the PySide.QTWebKit module correctly.

The link above pretty much just suggests installing PySide via pip install pyside but I seem to have problems directly with importing QTWebKit from the PySide module in the python interpreter. I'll update this post if I manage to get passed this QTWebKit issue.

I had to install cmake and libqt4-dev to install pyside. Afterwards, it couldn't find the installation, so I added the egg-info according to the in the this post on github. Everpad would start without errors but I wouldn't see the applet on the menu bar nor would it start. I had to restart my computer but it now works.
