I modified elisa/core/media_directory_helper.py because xdg.xdg_content()
consistenly returned None, and because of that I always got:
TypeError: iteration over non-sequence
After having found that xdg-user-dirs is apparently mandatory and finding the
problem related to the elisa-plugins (the patch from Matthias Saou helped
here). I now got to the next error message:
-snip-
What looks like a dbus incompatibility. Where the installed versions look
like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -q dbus dbus-python
dbus-1.1.2-12.el5
dbus-python-0.70-7.el5
What does Elisa require and can we work around this ?
By patching some more code I found that Elisa requires dbus-python 0.86
optionally. But since I have an older dbus-python (0.70) it does not
cleanly disable support.
So I patched in file elisa/plugins/pigment/pigment_frontend.py, the
_initialize_dbus and _clean_dbus functions to return if the initialisation
fails. So that dbus effectively becomes optional in case we have an
incompatible python-dbus installed
------
def _initialize_dbus(self):
if 'dbus' not in sys.modules:
# no dbus support
return
+ try:
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
self.bus_name = \
dbus.service.BusName('com.fluendo.Elisa', bus)
self.dbus_frontend = DBusFrontend(self, bus,ยท
'/com/fluendo/Elisa/Plugins/Pigment/Frontend',
self.bus_name)
+ except:
+ # dbus support incompatible
+ del self.bus_name
+ return
def _clean_dbus(self):
if 'dbus' not in sys.modules:
# no dbus support
return
+ try:
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
self.dbus_frontend.remove_from_connection(bus,
'/com/fluendo/Elisa/Plugins/Pigment/Frontend')
# BusName implements __del__, eew
del self.bus_name
# remove the reference cycle
del self.dbus_frontend
+ except:
+ # dbus support incompatible
+ return
------
And when we have done that, I get the pop-up, the screen becomes black,
the screen is restored and the output looks like this:
------

I know the thread looks very much like a monologue, but if it segfaults,
it's a dead-end for me :-/
Any feedback ?
