Title:
light-locker-settings crashes
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
light-locker-settings is a python program (available from the
'Preferences' menu) that uses a third-party module called 'psutils'.
This module at one point had a method named 'get_pid_list()' which was
renamed to 'pids()'. The old name was deprecated at least two years
ago and then completely removed in the 3.0 release of psutils last
June. light-locker-settings uses the old method name in line 219 of
light-locker-settings.py, resulting in the following exception stack:
london@england:~$ light-locker-settings
/usr/share/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings.py:29:
PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version
gets loaded.
from gi.repository import Gtk, GLib, Gio

for pid in psutil.get_pid_list():
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_pid_list'
london@england:~$
The easy fix is to simply replace 'get_pid_list' with 'pids'.
