You might not have the correct packages installed, can you verify which version of python you are using? Also please verify if you have the python curses module installed.  We may need to update the quickstart.

In 1.3 M3 RC2 test (git commit:8b8748c8f963900b83dc0fdd7757556f917fe4fd) no such error on the same host (opensuse 12.1 64 bit).

python related info on the host:

python --version
Python 2.7.2

after "zypper install python-curses" to install python-curses package,the error not met again.

Comment 4 Saul Wold 2012-08-29 14:47:07 UTC

Missing package, need to add python-curses to quickstart guide.

Comment 5 Laurentiu Serban 2012-09-24 23:33:46 UTC

reopening as the documentation (quick start guide) was not yet updated.

Comment 6 Scott Rifenbark 2012-09-25 18:26:09 UTC

I just checked the latest version of the QS, which is being developed in yocto-docs/master and the python-curses package is listed as a required package for OpenSUSE.  See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages for the section in the QS.

This change to the QS has been fairly recent (within the last couple of weeks I belive).

The problem is this link:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html which is the link where I am getting after going to www.yoctoproject.org and after that on Documentations and Quick Start does not have the reference

Comment 8 Scott Rifenbark 2012-09-25 18:43:41 UTC

Liang, 

The link for the QS you are referencing is for current YP documentation.  The required python-curses package does not appear in that documentation.  The issue with the missing package was discovered after the 1.2.1 release. I fixed the issue in the "Docs in Progress" set of YP documentation. This is where I fix things for the upcoming release.  The python-curses package is listed in the set of packages required for OpenSUSE for the upcoming 1.3 version of the QS.  

To see the YP manuals that are under development for YP 1.3, go to the YP website and click the Documentation page. To the right in the box of other sets of manuals click "Docs in Progress".  That will list the set of YP manuals under development.  You will see the change for python-curses at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages.
