Hi, this bug is fixed in later versions of Kupfer, it's due to a stupid thing I did! I can't reproduce it, but it happens if the search engines plugin tries to list files in a directory that does not exist (or something similar, permissions problem)?
As a work around you can open kupfer's preferences (open by right- clicking kupfer's notification icon). If you can reproduce this crash and want to help reproducing it, can you run kupfer in a terminal in debug mode? First make sure kupfer does not run, then start kupfer with "kupfer --debug". Look for output like this: D [kupfer.plugin.google] OpenSearchSource: Found following searchplugins directories /home/ulrik/.mozilla/firefox/u7ssei2l.default/searchplugins /usr/share/iceweasel/searchplugins If you get this, please post the list of directories here and check manually if they exist and your user can read them. I'll publish fixes to kupfer's c10 branch 'cee10': branch: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/kupfer/log/?h=cee10 commit: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/kupfer/commit/?h=cee10&id=faf2d2bcb748284ddcfc44c224c7e1706df658eb The fix is just cherry-picking two patches off kupfer's main. I'm attaching the fix as one patch. It is up to Luca the ubuntu maintainer if he wants to patch the version in Karmic, I'll happily help if the fix is not good enough. ** Attachment added: "Fix mishandling of unreadable searchplugins directories" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34156120/0001-plugin.google-Fix-mishandling-of-unreadable-searchpl.patch -- kupfer.py crashed with TypeError in get_items() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458374 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
