Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Natty Narwhal. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

Natty Narwhal is still in Alpha release as of this writing so it is still undergoing a lot of coding. Once the Beta is released, please verify this bug and report any issues you may encounter here. Thank you very much for your support.

I'm adding a number of duplicate bug reports here. This thing is hot! :-)

[Drew Dormann (drew-pobox)]

These are the details I can provide when I get this bug.

STR:

Open Ubuntu Tweak
At any time, click the "Compiz Settings" icon on the left panel
Crash report occurs, but Ubuntu Tweak itself doesn't crash.
The expected main panel is not shown. Instead, a simple "This Module Encountered An Error While Loading" panel.

(Reproduction rate is 100%)

All other panels in Ubuntu Tweak seem to work as expected.

[lance j. misner (celeryman90)]

That is exactly what happens. Any workaround for it? Thank you. And if I'm
not supposed to reply to these just let me know. Thanks again

[jtlb (jt-lb)]

this bug occurs in the function "UnityLauncherAutoHide" of file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/compiz.py" which is called from line 351.

if you do not require this specific feature, you can replace the code line 350 to 351

if system.CODENAME == 'natty':
    self.launcher_autohide = None
else:
    self.launcher_autohide = None

by this single line: self.launcher_autohide = None

[jtlb (jt-lb)]

here is a solution to fix this bug. Indeed, the property name changed. Just had to fix it along with it's associated logic.

[jtlb (jt-lb)]

Oops, just forgot to say that this patch invalidates the first workaround I published

[Mihir Mone (monemihir)]

This bug still exists...I am using the daily build of today i.e 19 Apr 2011 and just encountered it.

[JarekJ83 (jarekj83)]

yep, its still exist, ladies and gentls, we have just few days to world premiere, and u gonna put this out with such a big bug?

[jtlb (jt-lb)]

does my patch work for you both ?

[JarekJ83 (jarekj83)]

^but if i add this patch, launcher will not autohide anymore? if yes i dont want to try it:)

The solution that worked for me on python 2.7 bug was to edit, as root,
line 351 of "/
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/compiz.py"leaving
the value to "None". I tried it on different computers.

You can check the bug thread and that's the way to go.

[Jake (client-alive)]

As of today, we're only days from the release of Ubuntu 11.04 (it isn't alpha any more) and I get this same bug/ error when trying to run compiz settings in Ubuntu Tweak. I thought maybe ccsm, having been on the machine also, was the problem - so uninstalled it and then restarted computer. When I tried to run compiz settings again in UT I got a prompt to install advanced settimgs so I did. Then the screen in the window was just blank (no settings or anything to see in it). I restarted UT and when clicking compiz settings again I got the same error message. It is the same error message as the one at the top of the page (the bug).

Btw: I went back into Synaptic after all was said and done and saw that ccsm is installed again. I guess that's what was installed when I accepted the prompt to install advanced settings in UT (described above).

Thanks

[Jake (client-alive)]

I see posts 17, 21, and 25 and I followed the link in post 17. Unfortunately, for me, seeing something like that is about like coming face to face with an extra terrestrial from mars! I wouldn't know what to do with something like that if my life depended on it. Guess I'm stuck with it the way it is for now. Sure hope it gets fixed. I just don't know if UT updates automatically or what I would have to do to get the update I'd need once it is fixed. I don't see any way to access that in UT and get it to look for an update.

HI,

Here is a "one line command" to apply the previously supplied patch file.
Applying the patch file will restore the full featured version of ubuntu-tweaks for Natty (i.e. with the "panel autohide mode" control feature)

command line:

wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/69480996/compiz.diff -qO - | sudo patch /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/compiz.py

This is the file attached to the thread

:)

[JarekJ83 (jarekj83)]

^it is workin, when u fix line 351 as stated.

[Randall Lozano (randall-lozano)]

Will this be automatic? No more manual tweak? Thank you.

What do you mean by "automatic" ?

This command will "automatically" apply the "manual tweak" to get everything working back on the Natty version.
Btw, you won't have to edit any file manually !

[El Microvio (el-microvio)]

The solution that worked for me on python 2.7 bug was to edit, as root,
line 351 of "/
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/compiz.py"leaving
the value to "None". I tried it on different computers.

You can check the bug thread and that's the way to go.

this bug occurs in the function "UnityLauncherAutoHide" of file
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/compiz.py" which
is called from line 351.

if you do not require this specific feature, you can replace the code
line 350 to 351

if system.CODENAME == 'natty':
    self.launcher_autohide = None
else:
    self.launcher_autohide = None

by this single line: self.launcher_autohide = None

I see posts 17, 21, and 25 and I followed the link in post 17.
Unfortunately, for me, seeing something like that is about like coming
face to face with an extra terrestrial from mars! I wouldn't know what
to do with something like that if my life depended on it. Guess I'm
stuck with it the way it is for now. Sure hope it gets fixed. I just
don't know if UT updates automatically or what I would have to do to get
the update I'd need once it is fixed. I don't see any way to access that
in UT and get it to look for an update.

Hello Chou,

Thank you for covering the issue with Compiz in Ubuntu Tweak.
After upgrading Ubuntu Tweak through its testing ppa Compiz currently
works good with it.

However, there are NO EMERALD effects with compiz in Ubuntu 11.04.

Thank you once again.

Sincerely,

Alex.

i experienced this error after removing unity software from my system...
but was able to fix it by following one of the above stated workarounds:

        this bug occurs in the function "UnityLauncherAutoHide" of file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/compiz.py" which is called from line 351.

        if you do not require this specific feature, you can replace the code line 350 to 351

        if system.CODENAME == 'natty':
            self.launcher_autohide = None
        else:
            self.launcher_autohide = None

     by this single line:
          self.launcher_autohide = None

->the only difference i saw was that this code occured on line 353 for me; copy and paste above code, and restart Ubuntu-Tweak
