Error launching steam-idle with game ID about linux-idle-master

[michael-n0813]

OK, I tested just now and it's all working for me.

It seems steam did increase the steamLoginSecure length, it's huge now. Maybe it has to do with the new app?
I tried manually idling deathloop and that works too python ./steam-ilde.py 1252330 so that is good.

Questions:

1. Are you using the latest release of the git? I updated a few issues.
2. Are you launching the program via python ./start.py
3. What is the output of python --version . It should say Python 3.xx.xx, if not it would be an alias problem.

Hi,

1. Yes, using latest release.
2. Launching via python3 ./start.py
3. Output of python3 --version is Python 3.8.10

Tried logging out and in (thus refreshing the cookies), restarting PC, no luck.

Output of python3 ./steam-idle.py 1252330 looks strange:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./steam-idle.py", line 7, in
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
ImportError: cannot import name 'ImageTk' from 'PIL' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PIL/init.py)

Is this something due to my python3 installation? Worked until now, and all dependencies mentioned in the readme are installed, but I never before tried the ./steam-idle.py script.

If I only try python --version, I get the below:

Command 'python' not found, did you mean:
command 'python3' from deb python3
command 'python' from deb python-is-python3

I use Zorin OS 16, not sure if that is relevant.

OK the issue is python3 uses the alias python and you seem to be missing imageTK package

For Ubuntu you need these packages: sudo apt-get install python3-pil python3-pil.imagetk python3-requests python3-colorama python3-bs4

To solve the alias problem for python3: sudo apt-get install python-is-python3

Then you should be be able to launch the program via python ./start.py and all is well again I hope.

Hi,
Confirmed it works now, after I added the imagetk package and I solved the alias problem the way you mentioned.
Thank you very much!! I will close the issue. :)
