Bug 131526 – rox-filer fails to pass assertion

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Patrick Hahn 2006-04-27 19:19:50 UTC]

The thread starter has more symptoms, but in my case the problem is that rox-filer gives these errors on the console and doesn't display thumbnails: 

(MagickThumbnail:6059): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1' is not supported
/usr/lib/ROX-Lib2/python/rox/__init__.py:186: GtkWarning: Couldn't convert text chunk value to UTF-8.
  g.window_set_default_icon_list(g.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(_icon_path))
/usr/lib/ROX-Lib2/python/rox/__init__.py:186: GtkWarning: gdk_pixbuf_set_option: assertion `key != NULL' failed
  g.window_set_default_icon_list(g.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(_icon_path))
scolor #697B8F

It seems to be utf8 related. I've followed the gentoo unicode guidelines, utf8 and unicode are in USE.

This seems to be a ROX issue not a GNOME issue.  Reassigning.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-05-23 11:04:41 UTC]

Re-assign wrt Bug 131936.

[Comment 3 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2006-10-03 12:00:04 UTC]

I'm new to this bug, could you please re-try with rox-2.5 and let me know if the problem still persists?

[Comment 4 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2006-10-20 13:43:29 UTC]

Oh wait.  Now that I've actually read the text of the error message, I don't think the problem is rox-filer, but magickthumbnail (or perhaps python, pygtk, or rox-lib).

I need to know:
- What version of magickthumbnail, rox-lib, rox, pygtk, and python you are using
- Whether or not the problem still persists with the latest versions of all of these (magickthumbnail-0.5.1, rox-lib-2.0.3-r1, rox-2.5, pygtk-2.10.3, python-2.4.3-r4 at the time of this post).

I am marking this bug as NEEDINFO.  Please re-open if you can reproduce this bug with the latest software versions.
