App fails to load (or work) if ~/.config/lookit.conf is not present (or blank)

[Drew Burden]

App loads no problem if I create the file manually before launching.
However, it won't save prefs since I created a blank file.

Shell output:

burdenwa@ubuntu:~$ lookit
Unable to load prefs
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 227, in <module>
    app = LookitApp()
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 67, in __init__
    if f:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'f' referenced before assignment

Fixed in the PPA release of 0.2 as well as the trunk branch in bzr

Does lookit currently remember it's previous server settings upon restart?

When I fill in the SSH server information and restart lookit the boxes are blank and it doesn't seem to upload any new shots (or produce an error).

In fact, restarting lookit seems to take the config file and return it back to its default state. IMO, it should save the config file so server information does not need to be re-entered upon every restart. Is this a bug or by design?

[Zach Tibbitts (zachtib)]

it *should* work, let me test

bluuuuh, yeah, it's crazy broken. expect 0.2.1 in an hour or two. the
breakage is on load, so if you don't start the client again until you've
updated to 0.2.1 it *should* retain your settings.

(also, please keep in mind this project has been out for under a week, and
don't hesitate to report bugs!)

Thanks a lot for the quick confirmation. Everything else looks solid.

[Zach Tibbitts (zachtib)]

I just pushed 0.2.1, which should fix this issue, along with a few other
issues that were pointed out to me this morning

Can confirm .2.1 fixes the issue where the config file was not being saved. Thanks a lot. Upon restart the fields are still filled in.

I installed lookit 0.2.2-0 today in KDE. When i try to launch it, i get the followign error message:

jan@jantop2:~$ lookit
Ubuntu One support not found
Unable to load prefs
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 217, in <module>
    app = LookitApp()
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 72, in __init__
    'gtk-icon-theme-name')
ValueError: could not find setting
jan@jantop2:~$

The file .conf/lookit.conf looks like this:
(dp0
S'version'
p1
(I0
I2
I2
tp2
s.

Any hints?

[Zach Tibbitts (zachtib)]

I haven't done any testing in KDE, but have you tried the 0.3 beta?

[Jan (jan-wiele)]

yes, mostly the same error:

jan@jantop2:~$ lookit
Ubuntu One support not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 236, in <module>
    app = LookitApp()
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 79, in __init__
    'gtk-icon-theme-name')
ValueError: could not find setting
jan@jantop2:~$

[Zach Tibbitts (zachtib)]

ok, it's just not finding your gtk-theme correctly, which makes sense, since
you're on KDE let me see what I can do

I just pushed a potential fix to my git repo, can you grab it and try?
should just need the lookit script itself, which you can download and run
without installing

Thank you,
lookit starts, captures and uploads the image, but doesn't copy the url into my clipboard (tried CTRl + V and middlemousebutton).

Logs:

jan@jantop2:~$ lookit
Ubuntu One support not found
Warning: Couldn't detect gtk theme
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 141, in capture_area

  File "/usr/bin/lookit", line 208, in upload_image
    os.path.join(self.prefs['savedir'], image))
KeyError: 'savedir'

[Zach Tibbitts (zachtib)]

have you gone into the preferences dialog and set everything up? it might be
having a problem with an empty configuration

Yes, also checked the is.gd button and filled out everthing in 'Upload'.

I've yet another problem:
When i capture a screenshot, i cannot use the taskbar till i see a notification that the upload is complete (it does not respond to my mouseclicks).

[Zach Tibbitts (zachtib)]

Can you click on *anything* before the notification? Or is just the taskbar
affected?

Just the taskbar is affected. Firefox etc respond normally.
