Bug 263001 – app-misc/gnomecatalog-0.3.4.2 won't start up

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jean-Noël Rivasseau (RETIRED) 2009-03-19 09:16:12 UTC]

I get the follozing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnomecatalog", line 14, in <module>
    from gnomecatalog.ui.app import *
  File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnomecatalog/ui/app.py", line 3, in <module>

In addition, at the end of the emerge, the following errors appear:

not gnome, reassigning. Also, 0.3.4 is available might want to bump it locally to test.

keeping us CCed since I have the intention of reviewing current ebuild in case bass isn't around.

0.3.4.2 should work just fine. I've reviewed deps and moved them to split python bindings. That'll avoid pulling too much gnome dependencies.

[Comment 3 Jean-Noël Rivasseau (RETIRED) 2009-03-26 15:45:56 UTC]

It still does not startup, although there are no more installation issues for 0.3.4.2.

Error is now:

/usr/bin/..
Traceback (most recent call last):

    "audio": icon_theme.load_icon("audio-x-generic", icon_size, 0),
glib.GError: Icon 'audio-x-generic' not present in theme

Note that I am running stable ~x86 so that may be the reason.

looks like gnomecatalog treats broken themes a bit harsly. You should probably try with default gnome theme and contact upstream if this solves your issue since this means gnomecatalog doesn't do proper icon theme fallback.

Adding gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome" to .gtkrc-2.0 allowed me to run gnomecatalog. I guess KDE overrides some preferences and specify a different icon theme.

[Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-04-23 22:43:51 UTC]

you need to contact upstream to get them to fix handling of themed icon fallbacks.

[Comment 7 Jean-Noël Rivasseau (RETIRED) 2009-04-24 08:12:11 UTC]

I opened a bug upstream. However I am not sure upstream is really active... I also had tons of bugs (freezes) on this program while trying to use it. I really regret it as I dont know of any good cataloger app for CDs on Linux and this one looked interesting.
