Cannot run program - 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed

Question

I am trying to make a python app that basically views a web page with QUICKLY on Ubuntu 12.04.

When I do sudo quickly run in terminal, I always get this error:

(saikoroubuntu:5283): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema
'org.gnome.desktop.interface' is not installed

What seems to be the issue?

Here is my code:

 #!/usr/bin/env python


import gtk
import sys
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import *

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

web = QWebView()
web.load(QUrl("http://shifat.tk/apps/saikoro/ios"))
web.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

I'm basically using the code I found on Stackoverflow: "How to make a simple cross-platform webbrowser with Python?"

Solution

quite later, but try to install gsettings-desktop-schemas.

running the code code you posted (with a different url...) with import gtk and with or without sudo works for me. I guess you have to give more information. Are you really using the standard Ubuntu 12.04?

Perhaps you can explain how you would do that, what this would do, the risks etc.

For posterity, this solution worked for me. Just run "sudo apt-get install gsettings-desktop-schemas".

For whatever reason I needed to do this (i.e. reinstall this package) after a system upgrade on Arch to make GNOME work at all, so thank you!
