I've been upgrading net-nntp/hellanzb-0.13-r1 to net-nntp/hellanzb-0.13-r3 a few days ago. Now I have to disable the notifications via libnotify or the program cannot start. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install latest version with libnotify use flag enabled 2. enable Hellanzb.LIBNOTIFY_NOTIFY in /etc/hellanzb.conf 3. start hellanzb.py Actual Results: hellanzb v0.13 (config = /etc/hellanzb.conf) hellanzb - Now monitoring queue... [-] Unhandled Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Hellanzb/Daemon.py", line 114, in initDaemon startNZBLeecher() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Hellanzb/NZBLeecher/__init__.py", line 261, in startNZBLeecher reactor.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/internet/posixbase.py", line 218, in run self.mainLoop() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/internet/posixbase.py", line 226, in mainLoop self.runUntilCurrent() --- <exception caught here> --- File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/internet/base.py", line 555, in runUntilCurrent call.func(*call.args, **call.kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Hellanzb/Log.py", line 102, in notify libnotifyNotify(type, title, description, sticky) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Hellanzb/Log.py", line 114, in libnotifyNotify if not n.show(): gobject.GError: Process /usr/libexec/notification-daemon exited with status 127 Expected Results: no errors... At the moment the only solution seems to be to disable Hellanzb.LIBNOTIFY_NOTIFY or downgrade. I think I'll downgrade since r3 doesn't seem to have undergone enough testing.
what is your python version ? it works fine here can you give me: emerge --info and the output of : equery files hellanzb (from gentoolkit) didn't you forget to run python-updater after a python upgrade ?

hmm by the time I install python 2.4 on a box, could you please try to reinstall notify-python ? If it still fails, could you please try to isolate which patch added to -r3 makes it fail ? (By commenting them in the ebuild)
just tried in a stable chroot with python 2.4, and its fine, I even get the notifications outside of the chroot $ python -V Python 2.4.4 [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6 USE="ipv6 ncurses readline ssl -berkdb -bootstrap -build -doc -examples -gdbm -nocxx -nothreads -tk -ucs2" 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-python/twisted-2.4.0 USE="crypt -gtk -serial" 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-python/notify-python-0.1.1 0 kB [ebuild R ] net-nntp/hellanzb-0.13-r3 USE="libnotify" 0 kB
no more answer ? please reopen with more info
Sorry, forgot to update this: Can't reproduce the problem anymore and it works now for me, thanks.
