Bug Description

checkbox-gtk fails to launch in oneiric with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/checkbox/reactor.py", line 74, in fire
    results.append(handler(*args, **kwargs))
  File "/usr/share/checkbox/plugins/user_interface.py", line 54, in run
    interface = interface_class(self.title, self.data_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/checkbox_gtk/gtk_interface.py", line 83, in __init__
    color = Gdk.color_parse("#F0EBE2")[1]
TypeError: 'Color' object does not support indexing

After some investigation, it turns out that in natty the output of such a command is:
(True, <Gdk.Color(red=61680, green=60395, blue=58082)>)

while in oneiric is:
<Gdk.Color(red=61680, green=60395, blue=58082)>

Hence, to fix the problem in oneiric the following line:
    color = Gdk.color_parse("#F0EBE2")[1]

has to be replaced with:
    color = Gdk.color_parse("#F0EBE2")

Marking as confirmed due to bug 840376, and importance: Critical, since checkbox doesn't start at all and being able to test the system is something a lot of Ubuntu users will want to do.

Changed in checkbox:
importance: Undecided → Critical
status: New → Confirmed

This is caused by an API-breaking change in PyGTK:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653462

"
Change Gdk.color_parse() to not return a tuple, instead just
return the created color or None if it wasn't possible to parse
the name into a color.

This keeps compatibility with PyGTK but breaks the current API.

See bug 842235 for a report on the underlying PyGTK problem, maybe not to be solved, but to warn others about this problem.

Hi Daniel, I maybe a little confused, so what's the solution to this bug?
Shall I upgrade checkbox to a new version which should be built against with new pygtk or something?

Hi Ray,

Apologies, I realize everything thus far has been just technical discussion.

A fix has already been submitted for checkbox and is awaiting review and publishing to Oneiric. As a subscriber to this bug report you will be notified when the fix moves to Fix Committed and Fix Released. I expect that checkbox 0.12.6 will be available as an update for Oneiric in a couple of days.

If you care to look at the updated code, it's available here:

https://code.launchpad.net/checkbox

Revision 1027 contains the specific fix for this problem.

Changed in checkbox:
status: Confirmed → Triaged
status: Triaged → In Progress
assignee: nobody → Daniel Manrique (roadmr)
milestone: none → 0.12.6
