desktopcouch-service crashed with RuntimeError in find_port__linux()

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #442120. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Fixed in
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-control-tower/ubuntu/karmic/desktopcouch/release-0.5.1

Source-package branch proposed for merging here:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-control-tower/ubuntu/karmic/desktopcouch/release-0.5.1/+merge/16433

Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04
root@LeftGuest:~#
Alpha 2 Lucid Lynx ix386.iso

Patch looks fine, please get it uploaded to lucid and karmic-proposed.

Chad: There isn't a release tarball for 0.5.1, can you publish one?

Ken, There's this:

https://edge.launchpad.net/desktopcouch/+milestone/0.5.1-stable

i don't know why that isn't visible on the desktopcouch project page.

This was fixed in 0.6.3

this bug still affects me on Lucid Daily Devel from April 16th, 2010

April 17th. Tried to open gwibber from me menu through (Set Up Broadcast Accounts). Failed to open gwibber and reported error, and then gwibber error in bug #539781

Made New and release blocking. Note that gwibber did open the settings window eventually. Account info was synced, so only passwords needed to be entered.

on boot, 10.04 beta 2, latest updates

I'm also being affected in a Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 updated today, 19/04/2010.

I'm also being affected in an Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2. The notice was shown to me just when I opened Gwibber.

Making this New again, it looks like people are still affected by this.

If this is still happening, I want a new backtrace, please.

RuntimeError: Unable to find listening port

Notes:

/etc/couchdb/default.ini and /etc/couchdb/local.ini have 0660 permission.

Crash seems to occure when /etc/couchdb/*.ini are not user readable. At least on Gentoo.

Maciej, yes, that's exactly correct. "eacces". We must be able to read the system INI files. I suggest 0664 perms.

ok thanks

(Partial transcript from online chat)

D: I don't really think setting 0664 on /etc/couchdb/local.ini is a very good idea, since that may have the admin password in it.

Chad: desktopcouch is sending these parameters, for me: -a /etc/couchdb/default.ini -a /etc/xdg/desktop-couch/compulsory-auth.ini -a /home/cmiller/.config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini

Chad: the couchdb bootstrap script in the PATH adds more. (namely /etc/couchdb/local.ini)

Chad: so, either 1) user must put auth in another file and load it with -a, and make others readable, or 2) we reimplement /usr/bin/couchdb and ship our own, or 3) we patch it and get upstream not to do that.

I don't think this is valid any more. There are no recent complaints since the Gentoo packaging problem of unreadable couchdb config files. Please create discrete new bug reports for continuing problems.

I don't have access to this computer anymore, and it has been upgraded many times since this. can close this bug for me.

Karmic has long since stopped to receive any updates. Marking the Karmic task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
