Thanks,

That is interesting.

There are a couple more commands that I would like to output
of if you could, sorry for not asking for them the first time.

dpkg -S /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/bootconfig
readlink -e /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/bootconfig

I see that you had the backport of startupmanager installed,
and so I think that may well be the source of the problem,
I will investigate that area further.

> I am also experiencing gnome-applets crashing

You should find the package which provides the
crashing applets and report a bug on that. Are you
getting crash notification for them? That would
be the best way to do it if you are.

Thanks,

James

[Philbo (phillipdaddy)]

Thanks for the response James here is the output of your requests...

>dpkg -S /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/bootconfig
dpkg: /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/bootconfig not found.

>readlink -e /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/bootconfig
/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/bootconfig

I have also attached the crash reports.

Please let me know if you require any further information

Thanks

Phil.

and received the following error report....

It still point to the upgrade issues with Python.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't think it's an startupmanager problem, but some python-support related one. What you think James ?

I'm really not sure.

Thanks,

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

Looks like an startupmanager problem. It should be fixed in 1.9.13-2 at Debian. I need someone to test it for me.
