I am unable to duplicate this on the three machines where I have it installed. (Two are stable x86 and one is unstable x86) I am CC'ing upstream for their input.
It sounds like the /root/.porthole/prefs file is corrupted. Rename it and try starting porthole again. At most you may have to reselect some of your preferences if you set them different. I do not know why it happens but it does happen from time to time, but not very often. I am going to work on eliminating the pyxml dependency to use the built-in python xml modules which are reportdly much better than they use to be.
Thank you for the hint. I did not found /root/.porthole/prefs but /root/.porthole/prefs.xml, which has a length of 0 Bytes. After erazing this file porthole seems to work again. Juergen
Yes, sorry, I forgot to add the file extension. I'm glad it is fixed.
