Bug Description

The first time I opened Vocal it was ok. Then I added some podcast feeds, and after a reboot it won't open anymore.
If I run the command "vocal" in a terminal it gives me the following output:

[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 20:58:38.364015] Application.vala:155: Vocal version: 0.1
[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 20:58:38.364097] Application.vala:157: Kernel version: 3.13.0-43-generic
[_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL 20:58:38.447588] [Gtk] gtk_container_remove: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
[_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL 20:58:38.447633] Vocal will not function properly.
Segmentation fault

If I delete the folder ~/.config/vocal it works again, but with no feeds added.

Thanks! A few others have reported the same issue, but I haven't been able to reproduce the problem so far. I'll try those feeds and see if I can get it to break.

Hey! I think I have fixed the issue. The update is out, but you may have to reset Vocal. See this post for more info: http://www.vocalproject.net/blog/2015/1/31/some-growing-pains

Please let me know if that did the trick or not.

Cheers!

Hi! I'm so sorry for taking so long to give you an answer. My computer had some problems and it took me a long time to be able to fix them and test it.
Anyway, I followed the steps in your post and Vocal is working perfectly now. Thank you so much!

Hey @wreeetch, I'm going to re-mark this as Fix Committed. The fix is in trunk (and therefore the daily PPA), but we haven't actually issued an official release with the fix in it.

Cheers,
