digitalClock.py crashed with RuntimeError in show_prefs()

Thanks for the report.

Is it still an issue with the final release of Intrepid (version 0.2.6-2ubuntu4 for awn-applets-python-extras) ?
If so, can you test with the last upstream trunk build (http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation:Ubuntu#PPA) ?

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

Add digital clock to bar
Right-click and select preferences on the applet
Apport crash dialog

Main: 0.2.6-7ubuntu1
Applets: 0.2.6-2ubuntu4
Manager & Libs: 0.2.6-7ubuntu1
libawn-extras0: 0.2.6-2ubuntu4

All are intrepid originals (no -update or -proposed available in repositories).
I will install the trunk and report back.

About the trunk...it seems to be doing A LOT more than any other trunk/PPA has done in the past.
Can you verify this for me?

To Be Removed:
avant-window-navigator, avant-window-navigator-data, awn-applets-c-core, awn-applets-c-extras, awn-applets-python-core, awn-applets-python-extras, awn-manager, libawn-extras0, libawn0, python-awn, python-awn-extras, python-awnlib.

That seems fine.

But this is just weird...
To Be Installed:
avant-window-navigator-data-trunk, avant-window-navigator-trunk, awn-extras-applets-trunk, awn-manager-trunk, libawn0-trunk, libgda3-3, libgda3-bin, libgda3-common, libgdl-1-0, libgdl-1-common, libglib2.0-dev, libvala0, libwebkit-1.0-1, python-awn-trunk, python-dateutil, python-gnome2-extras, python-sqlalchemy, python-xlib, vala-awn-trunk, valac.

12 to 20...Why all the extra programs? Why are some applet packages seemingly missing? Will I lose functionality by upgrading? Why does it need -dev packages? What is valac and why do you need to install a compiler to run applets? This is completely atypical of ALL other trunks/PPA's I have used. There is usually a 1:1 replacement. And, I am taking out 2 libs and installing like 10, wtf! Are these crazy dependencies going to stay for final (seems like bloat)?

The packages libwebkit-1.0-1 and libglib2.0-dev are from intrepid-updates, is this OK?

Also concerning was the PGP key...it was created 1/19/2009...but the PPA was started at least in/before Jan 2008...I thought launchpad assigned keys when you create the PPA...why is this one so new when the PPA is so old?

P.S. - The forum thread linked to in the PPA instructions is way out-dated and helped zero.
P.P.S. - I hate the 2 months before a new Ubuntu comes out...NOTHING gets updates. They just want you to wait for the next release, but all the devs (you guys) are receiving old bugs from packages that haven't been updated unless the end-user (me) goes through all these hoops. It sucks. Royally. For everyone.

Let me clarify some things.

Please re-open a bug only if you have the same error (same error message in command line). If not, open another bug report.

About the packages, 0.2.6 packages is supported by Ubuntu. All *-trunk packages are supported by Awn project, not Ubuntu. If you have problem with the packaging itself of *-trunk packages (depends for example), feel free to report bugs directly to Awn project (https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn). As the 2 packaging are differents, depends are different.

Upgrading to this packages is only for testing if the bug is fixed upstream. Regarding this, I don't see any comment about the issue.

About the key, see https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%27s%20keys%20to%20your%20system
PPA are availlable since more than a year, the signing ability only some days.

About PPS : If you have complains about Ubuntu in general, see http://www.markshuttleworth.com/ or ask for backports : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

Julien,

With your assurances and informative message, some of which I had browsed through prior, I installed the trunk version and the digitalClock.py Preferences crash in Intrepid's version was not present. All worked as expected.

So, to answer your original questions:
"Is it still an issue with the final release of Intrepid (version 0.2.6-2ubuntu4 for awn-applets-python-extras) ?"
   Yes.
"If so, can you test with the last upstream trunk build (http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation:Ubuntu#PPA) ?"
   Trunk works fine.

Thanks for the testing. It'll be fixed in 0.3.2 release. I expect it'll be upload into Jaunty in a few days. When it's done, you can ask for a backport to the version you want.

This bug was fixed in the package awn-extras-applets - 0.3.2.1-0ubuntu1
