pybootchartgui crashed with TypeError in render()

[Dana Goyette]

Binary package hint: pybootchartgui

After applying the fix in the bug report here ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pybootchartgui/+bug/512172 -- title: "pybootchartgui crashed with ValueError in get_proc_state()" ) -- I now get a different crash, as the bug title reports.

Note that the kernel I am booted is the March 23rd kernel from here ( http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/ ) -- unfortunately, it seems like these kernels have stopped being updated.

Hi,

If you upload your

/var/log/bootchart/hostname-lucid-20100331-4.tgz

then I'll have a look.

Hi,

When I apply the fix manually (by editing the file in nano). It works for me. How did you apply the fix?

I downloaded the raw gui.py file from the googlecode link and replaced my gui.py file.

[Dana Goyette (danagoyette)]

... Ah, I see now... I replaced the wrong file. I've reinstalled pybootchartgui and manually edited draw.py -- and now I'll try rebooting to see if that fixes it. If it does, then that makes this bug "invalid" due to incorrect modification of files.

[Dana Goyette (danagoyette)]

Okay, now I can confirm: this was my mistake -- now pybootchartgui works correctly for me.
