2017-07-04 22:05:25 Hans Joachim Desserud description (more details coming. Launchpad has a hickup) Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/share/smartshine/smartshine/smartshine.py", line 469, in run Gui.put_files_to_the_list(self.fichiers) File "/usr/share/smartshine/smartshine/smartshine.py", line 366, in put_files_to_the_list im = self.pixbuf2Image(pb) File "/usr/share/smartshine/smartshine/smartshine.py", line 332, in pixbuf2Image return Image.fromstring("RGB",(width,height),pb.get_pixels() ) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2063, in fromstring "Please call frombytes() instead.") Exception: fromstring() has been removed. Please call frombytes() instead. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: smartshine 0.36-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-78.99-generic 4.4.62 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-78-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Tue Jul 4 23:50:13 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-10-24 (619 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: smartshine UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Steps to reproduce: 1. Run smartshine (preferably from a terminal) 2. Click the button to "add photos" 3. Select a random image Expected behaviour: The image is loaded and displayed in the application. Actual behaviour: The application seems to load, but never finishes. The following error message is printed in the terminal: Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner     self.run()   File "/usr/share/smartshine/smartshine/smartshine.py", line 469, in run     Gui.put_files_to_the_list(self.fichiers)   File "/usr/share/smartshine/smartshine/smartshine.py", line 366, in put_files_to_the_list     im = self.pixbuf2Image(pb)   File "/usr/share/smartshine/smartshine/smartshine.py", line 332, in pixbuf2Image     return Image.fromstring("RGB",(width,height),pb.get_pixels() )   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2063, in fromstring     "Please call frombytes() instead.") Exception: fromstring() has been removed. Please call frombytes() instead. I strongly suspect the API in PIL (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pillow) has changed, and smartshine is trying to use the old one. The image loads as expected in Ubuntu 14.04, while I get the error message in 16.04. Note that 16.04 seems to be the first Ubuntu release with version 3.x of the PIL library, 14.04 used 2.x. I also get the same error message on 17.04 and presumably artful. I just discovered this when clicking around in the application related to bug 1701648, though I have less of an idea how one might go about fixing this.
