Public bug reported: When catfish is installed without locate it does not work. Instead it prints a backtrace about not being able to start locate and locks up.
If I edit locate out of the backend list, it proceeds to use the "walk" backend which works correctly. catfish/CatfishSearchEngine.py:72 - just deleted 'locate' from the default backed list. Somehow the exception from self.process = subprocess.Popen locks up the catfish "engine" into thinking the backed is still not finished running. ** Affects: catfish (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1482919 Title: Catfish will lock up if 'locate' is not installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/catfish/+bug/1482919/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
