Pb for loading /etc/oblogout.conf

[drfazor]

My config:
Gentoo Linux
Python 2.6.5 (release26-maint, Aug 24 2010, 17:47:38)

Version of oblogout: 0.2

No problem found with the Installation.

=======================================

Oblogout running well, but when I click on icon, nothing appends

I've tried to launch it in a terminal :

click on reboot:
sh : reboot: command not found

click on halt:
sh: shutdown : command not found

click on lock:
sh: gnome-screensaver-command : command not found

It seems that the conf file is not readed, because I've changed those values.

=================================================
My /etc/oblogout.conf file:

[settings]
usehal = false

[looks]
opacity = 70
bgcolor = black
buttontheme = foom
buttons = cancel, logout, restart, shutdown, suspend, lock

[shortcuts]
cancel = Escape
shutdown = S
restart = R
suspend = U
logout = L
lock = K
hibernate = H

[commands]
shutdown = /sbin/halt
restart = /sbin/reboot
suspend = pmi action suspend
hibernate = pmi action hibernate
safesuspend = safesuspend
lock = xlock -mode blank
switchuser = gdm-control --switch-user
logout = openbox --exit

=======================================
info: my halt is suid'ed.

Thank you ;)

Hi everybody,

First of all, English is not my native language, and I'm not a python developper.

But in my investigation for resolve my bug, I think I've found something interresting ...
In the script __init__.py:

221 # Parse in commands section of the configuration file. Check for valid keys and set the attribs on self
222 if self.parser.has_section("commands"):
223 for key in self.parser.items("commands"):
224 self.logger.debug("Setting cmd_%s as %s" % (key[0], key[1]))
225 if key[1] in ['logout', 'restart', 'shutdown', 'suspend', 'hibernate', 'safesuspend', 'lock', 'switch']:
226 if key[1]: setattr(self, "cmd_" + key[0], key[1])

in line 225, 'if key[1] ...' browse the Rvalue of the commands section with value of the Lvalue ...
So it didn't work, and the attribs are not set to the /etc/oblogout.conf value instead of default value attributed lines [57..64]
It' will certainly work better if you change this line to:

225 if key[0] in ['logout', 'restart', 'shutdown', 'suspend', 'hibernate', 'safesuspend', 'lock', 'switch']:

I'm not python developper, and I don't know how it works, and how and where I can resolve this bug, so please, can you do it for me?

With all my gratitude

Yes, I saw the date. However, I recently compiled oblogout on Debian SID and found the same strange bug.

My setup:
---------------------
Debian SID
Openbox 3.5.0
Python 2.7.3rc2

My oblogout.conf (relevant section only):
----------------------------------------------
[settings]
usehal = true

[commands]
shutdown = sudo shutdown -h now
restart = sudo shutdown -r now
suspend = sudo pm-suspend
hibernate = sudo pm-hibernate
safesuspend = sudo pm-suspend-hybrid
lock = xscreensaver-command -lock
switchuser = dm-tool switch-to-greeter
logout = openbox --exit

The issue:
-----------
When I click on, for example "Lock", I get the message "sh: 1: gnome-screensaver-command: not found". However, it should execute "xscreensaver -lock".

Therefore, oblogout is loading the default configuration and not loading the file in /etc/oblogout.conf

Thanks.

An obvious momentary workaround until this is fixed, is to modify the source code, in:

oblogout/__init__.py

Between lines 56-65, I changed the values of the variables "cmd_shutdown", "cmd_restart", "cmd_lock", etc and then installed. In this way works fine for me.

Thanks.
