Package: variety Version: 0.6.3-5 Severity: normal Tags: help Control: found -1 0.6.7-1 Control: fixed -1 0.6.9-1
Variety versions < 0.6.8 essentially hang if you try to quit (at least, when you do so right after starting the program). If run from a terminal, Variety shows that it is killed by its own watchdog thread (force_exit) after a few seconds. I suspect that some thread is locking up due to VRTY.org being closed down[1], because the issue is gone in 0.6.8 and later (where all of this integration code was removed). However, I have *not* been able to isolate the exact cause of the freeze, and a giant patch removing a large portion of code is probably too invasive to backport. Interestingly enough, I have not been able to reproduce with 0.6.3 even more serious startup hangs that sporadically hit 0.6.7-1 in Ubuntu bionic.[2] [1]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1635912 [2]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1770187
