Description Phill 2010-03-21 22:15:36 UTC
After a lengthy emerge update world wicd-curses fails to load in virtual terminals 1-6. 

Not sure when the actual problem started, but it bombs out with the errors in the log (attached).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. At a tty console run wicd-curses
2. error

Actual Results:  
The wicd provides the attribute error

Expected Results:  
Wicd-curses config screen should appear as does in a pts terminal emulation

I have a framebuffer enabled from a kernel line 'vga=795' in my boot loader (GRUB 1.x - probable cause tbh)

Works fine from screen or X terminal emulation.

I am running kernel 2.6.30-r6 and wicd-1.7.0.

Hi, What version of dev-python/urwid do you have installed?

Portage reports 0.9.9 with latest available as 0.9.9.1

Comment 4 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-03-23 18:06:57 UTC
Can you try with urwid 0.9.9.1? Upstream says there is a bug fixed there.
Comment 5 Phill 2010-03-23 20:57:11 UTC
Resolved.

and now I know how to get portage to get a newer version, there has been much learning :)
Comment 6 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-03-25 23:03:54 UTC
Thanks. urwid-0.9.9.1 is being stabilized on bug 307259, after that I will bump the dependency in the ebuild.
