ltsp-manager crashes

  in file /usr/bin/ltsp-manager change line 18
      self.wTree=gtk.glade.XML ("./ltsp-manager.glade")
  to
      self.wTree=gtk.glade.XML ("/usr/share/ltsp-manager/ltsp-manager.glade")

I'm uploading the patch with the solution proposed by yanu.

This patch has been made using ltsp-manager-0.0.1 (edgy package).

Bug #85950, marked as duplicate to this, reports the same problem but in ltsp-manager-0.0.2 (maybe a feisty package?) so this patch could also apply to that version.

Has this fix made it into feisty?

I dont think so, Im using feisty and have the same problem. changing /usr/bin/ltsp-manager gave me this:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 254, in <module>
    base = LTSPManager()
  File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 33, in __init__

  File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 56, in fulfill_prereq
    pathlist = self.get_root_path()
  File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 102, in get_root_path
    pathlist = os.listdir('/opt/ltsp/')
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/ltsp/'

why is it looking for something at /opt ?

latest gutsy have the same problem

I've uploaded this change. The OSError seems to stem from ltsp-client-setup not being run. I think ltsp-manager should fail more gracefully if ltsp is not set up yet.

ltsp-manager (0.0.2-0ubuntu3) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Update compat / debhelper b-d to 5
  * Hardcode ltsp-manager.glade path (LP: #73560)
  * Update maintainer per spec.

ltsp-manager (0.0.2-0ubuntu3) hardy

I had exact the same Tracebacks as Santiago Garcia Pimentel R.G. wrote on 2007-08-22
I was wondering too about why the program wanted a ltsp folder in /opt, but OK for me I just gave it the desired Folder.

The crash was the same but I had new tracebacks:

peter@peter-desktop:~$ ltsp-manager
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 33, in __init__
    self.fulfill_prereq()
  File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 61, in fulfill_prereq
    if len(pathlist) > 1:
TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len()

Anyone knowing what to do?

(Sorry but I did'nt understand Barry deFreese post on 2007-09-30)

It crash on start / hardy:

simon@ltsp:~$ sudo ltsp-manager
