[Bug 2054197] Re: update-manager crashed with TypeError in _look_busy(): constructor returned NULL
This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:24.04.5 --- update-manager (1:24.04.5) noble; urgency=medium * Require Gdk3, as at least one function is used that is not in Gdk4 (LP: #2054197). * Run linting tests during build time as well. [ Calvin Mwadime ] * d/control: Depend on ubuntu-pro-client instead of ubuntu-advantage-tools.

That was a short-sighted conclusion, adding the require_version to the entry point script will do. ** Merge proposal linked: https://code.launchpad.net/~nteodosio/update-manager/+git/update-manager/+merge/464333 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2054197 Title: update-manager crashed with TypeError in _look_busy(): constructor returned NULL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/2054197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

1. Testing that the other way around (3->4), I get
--->
% ./update-manager --data-dir=$PWD/data
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/nteodosio/canonical/ubuntu-pro/update-manager/./update-manager",
line 38, in
from UpdateManager.UpdateManager import UpdateManager
File
"/home/nteodosio/canonical/ubuntu-pro/update-manager/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py",

gi.require_version('Gdk', '4.0')

require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s is already loaded with version %s' %
ValueError: Namespace Gdk is already loaded with version 3.0
<---
So I think this would just introduce such error in the other direction
(4->3).
2. Actually the new_from_name constructor has different signatures in
Gdk 3 and 4.
I also couldn't reproduce the issue in an unaltered Noble beta ISO.
As such, I suggest to let this sit unattended until confirmed.

[Bug 2054197] Re: update-manager crashed with TypeError in _look_busy(): constructor returned NULL
I can't reproduce this exact error, but I do get an error if the Gdk
imported is version 4:
>>> from gi.repository import Gdk
:1: PyGIWarning: Gdk was imported without specifying a version first.
Use gi.require_version('Gdk', '4.0') before import to ensure that the right
version gets loaded.
>>> Gdk.Cursor.new(Gdk.CursorType.WATCH)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: type object 'Cursor' has no attribute 'new'. Did you mean:
'newv'?
After all the new constructor only exists in Gdk 3.
I see two possible solutions:
1. Do as suggested and require the specific Gdk version with
gi.require_version('Gdk', '3.0')
2. Use a constructor that exists in both Gdk versions:
Gdk.Cursor.new_from_name("wait", None)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find. ** Information type changed from Private Security to Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2054197 Title: update-manager crashed with TypeError in _look_busy(): constructor returned NULL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/2054197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
