Unable to change Mythweb settings in Mythbuntu control centre

[linkku]

I am trying to change mythweb settings in MCC to work after update from Mythbuntu 12.04 -> 14.04.1

On MCC startup get an error:
Exception in applyStateToGUI of plugin Plugins
Disabling Plugin.

When I try to enable password for mythweb and press Apply and get:
No Changes found

and the text from the terminal:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre", line 383, in refreshState
    plugin.applyStateToGUI()
  File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/plugins.py", line 92, in applyStateToGUI
    self.mythweb_password_combobox.append_text("Reconfigure")
AttributeError: 'ComboBox' object has no attribute 'append_text'

I also am unable to enable/disable any of the plugins.

I am also seeing this error after upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04.1

Here is the dump of using --debug below:

I found a workaround.. Edit the file in question below (plugins.py), and comment out line 92.

File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/plugins.py", line 92, in applyStateToGUI
    self.mythweb_password_combobox.append_text("Reconfigure")
AttributeError: 'ComboBox' object has no attribute 'append_text'

After you successfully launch MCC and make some changes, you can remove the comment and it should be happy.

[Ritcheezer (ritcheezer)]

Actually.. I suggest leaving it commented out. I'm not sure this code path works at all. It looks like the Gtk.ComboBox definition may have changed between Gtk2 and Gtk3 and no longer has the append_text method. I don't know enough Python or Gtk to submit a patch.

model = self.mythweb_password_combobox.get_model()
 if len(model) > 2:
            iter = model.get_iter(Gtk.TreePath([2,0]))
            model.remove(iter)
        if self.mythweb_auth['enable']:
              self.mythweb_password_combobox.set_active_iter(model.get_iter(Gtk.TreePath([0,1])))
              #self.mythweb_password_combobox.append_text("Reconfigure")

This is confirmed broken

I've committed a fix for this. But MCC needs some beautification work
