I downloaded the .deb from: https://www.thefanclub.co.za/overgrive (version 3.1.3 beta). However, when I try to launch overGrive from the dash, the window never pops up. I just get the spinning wheel for ~15sec and then nothing. I have tried to remove (apt-get remove --purge overgrive) and reinstall by double clicking the deb package and running dpkg from the command line. It seems to install fine both ways, but I can never get the window to launch. I am on a laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It installed fine on my desktop with 15.04 and actually has been working great so far. Anyone have any idea how I can try to troubleshoot this more? Thanks!

  • Run python /opt/thefanclub/overgrive/overgrive in your terminal and add the output to your question. – A.B. Nov 01 '15 at 16:50
  • Do you have this problem if you are not using the beta version of overgrive? – Charles Green Nov 01 '15 at 16:56
  • @A.B. I got: "ImportError: No module names oauth2client.client"

    For some reason I needed to install google api-python-client. I ran "sudo pip2 install --upgrade google-api-python-client" (pip2 because I have python v3 also installed - I wonder if that had something to do with it). After that installed, I was able to run overgrive!

    THanks for your help!!

    Also, CharlesGreen, I don't know where I can get any other version. I only see v 3.1.3 beta listed on the website.

I needed google's api-python client installed. I don't know why I needed to install it on my laptop and not my desktop, but I ran 

sudo pip2 install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Then I was able to run overGrive from the terminal and from the dash.

Right-click on the bar at the bottom of your desktop and select "+ add applets to the panel".

From the list of applets highlight "System Tray" and click "+ add to panel".

You should now see the OverGrive icon on the panel. Which when you click on it will display the settings menu.

I hope this solves your issue.

I had to execute the following commands:

sudo -H pip install --upgrade pip

sudo -H pip2 install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Several times, and then it worked......
