bacula-console-qt does nothing but freeze after start

Would it be possible to run

`strace -f o -log bacula-console-qt` and provide the log file?

I do not have a configured bacula instance, but will see if I can set something up.

Hello, I have done some backporting and integrating of the suggestion in LP# 1553563 c11.

Please test the 'fixed' version at: https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/bacula, specifically 7.4.1~dfsg-1.1~ppa7 and report back if it resolves the issue in this bug for you.

7.4.1~dfsg-1.1~ppa6 from referenced PPA works well. Thanks for the fix.

@Karl-Philipp, to be clear, did you test ~ppa6 or ~ppa7 (and if the former, can you verify I didn't break anything with the latter).

I verified that it works with ~ppa7 as well. I only opened the GUI which works fine because I never used bacula before (I wanted, but this now fixed issue was in the way).

Great, thanks for confirming!

One last request: Please test the potential fix version at:

https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/bacula

Which results in 7.4.1~dfsg-1ubuntu1~ppa1 on yakkety or 7.4.1~dfsg-1.1~ppa8.is.actually.7.0.5+dfsg-4.1~ppa2 on xenial.

Hello all,

After reviewing the other open Bacula bugs, I've set up a new PPA with a more normal versioning and (hopefully) fixes to all the issues I know about on 16.04 and 16.10 (and I think handles upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04)

https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/bacula3

16.04: 7.0.5+dfsg-4ubuntu0.1~ppa1
16.10: 7.4.2+dfsg-1ubuntu1~ppa1

Please test these versions and report back, I'd like to see if we can these both sponsored quickly.

The latest available is 7.4.1~dfsg-1.1~ppa8.is.actually.7.0.5+dfsg-4.1~ppa3 which seems past 7.4.1~dfsg-1.1~ppa8.is.actually.7.0.5+dfsg-4.1~ppa2. The issue is fixed there (comprehensive dialog when started without necessary permissions and opening of console otherwise).

Ok, good to know.

This isn't true, please don't make this state change, as publishing in a
PPA does not mean it's been put in -proposed.

> ** Changed in: bacula (Ubuntu)
> Status: Triaged => Fix Committed

It's actuall Fix released in 16.10, as 7.4.3 has the fix already.

Hello Karl-Philipp, or anyone else affected,

Accepted bacula into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bacula/7.0.5+dfsg-4ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
