I'm getting ImportError: libkonsolepart.so...

When trying to run KatchTV on some distros (notably SuSE), you may get an error like the following:

ImportError: libkonsolepart.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

Cause

Usually, this means you don't have Konsole installed. KatchTV doesn't directly require Konsole, but it seems that PyKDE does, when loading a KHTML KPart. It's not clear whether this is a bug in PyKDE, intended behavior of KHTML, or a distro packaging issue.

Solution/Workaround

Make sure Konsole is installed. If you still have trouble, talk to your distro's PyKDE maintainers, as it's probably some sort of library incompatibility.
