“ImportError: No module named glib” when running ScreenFetch
When opening terminal I get the follow 4 lines before ScreenFetch runs:
[[ ! ]] Traceback (most recent call last):
[[ ! ]] File "/usr/bin/unity", line 21, in <module>
[[ ! ]] import glib
[[ ! ]] ImportError: No module named glib
I assumed that all I need to do is install the 'glib' package, so I ran:
sudo apt-cache search glib
to try and find the package myself, but there's literally hundreds of results returned to me, and I'm not sure which one is the one I need. If I remove ScreenFetch from the bashrc then I don't get any errors. After the first 4 lines ScreenFetch runs fine and I can use terminal normally, it's just a little bit annoying that's all.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Edit: sorry, forgot to include the line in my bashrc file. Here it is:
# start screenfetch
screenfetch
command-line glib

The module is in the packages python-dbus, python3-dbus and in some other packages, see below. /usr/bin/unity depends on Python2. And for this reason:

I ran the first command which reinstalled python-dbus, but that didn't fix the issue. So then I did a sudo install on libglib2.0-0-dbg to see if that would help but again, it didn't fix the problem. I've decided to uninstall ScreenFetch and use Archey instead. Thanks for your help though.
