The AppIndicator freezes at "1" when trying to record a video (in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat)

[Alin Andrei]

This is occuring ever since I've tried using Kazam in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat: the Kazam appindicator freezes at "1" when recording a video (well, I'm not actually recording any video since that doesn't work in Maverick for now but anyway).

See the attached screenshot.

This does not occur in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

[Andrew (and471)]

Could you please open a Terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal)
and type in:
kazam
Then click Enter, and then take whatever steps it requires to
reproduce this problem. Then when you encounter the problem, please
paste the output in the Terminal onto this bug report so I can see
what the issue is :)

Thanks

Please unmark this bug as a duplicate of #630991. I can now record a video but this issue still occurs!

[Andrew (and471)]

Okay Alin, could you please follow the instructions above again, and paste the output of Terminal here so I can see if there is a different issue now. Thanks :)

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

Here you go, the terminal output from Maverick:

[Andrew (and471)]

Hmm, it must be those error messages before the ffmpeg output, however I don't know what they mean. Maybe it is an indicator-applet problem?

[Andrew (and471)]

Indicator guys, could you take a look at the error messages in Comment #6 ?

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

The "`menu_proxy_module_load': /usr/bin/python: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load" thing is definitely not what's causing this, I get that when launching any app.

I'm guessing it has something to do with this:

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kazam/frontend/indicator.py:43: GtkWarning: Failed to load type module: (null)

  self.menu = gtk.Menu()

[Andrew (and471)]

Hi Alin,

To check whether it is the indicator causing the problem, could you change line 77 in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kazam/frontend/indicator.py from:

    import appindicator
to:
    import nonsistant

This will force Kazam to use a gtk.StatusIcon instead of the indicator applet and we cna see what is causing the problem.

Thanks for your patience in this :)

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

I did what you asked and the correct icon showed up, it no longer freezes at "1".

So this is an appindicator issue.

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

This bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat after the appindicator updates today and yesterday.
