Activity Log Manager fails to launch

[Alexander Karatarakis]

Installed from the PPA along with Zeitgeist 0.8.0 . When trying to launch activity-log-manager i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/activity-log-manager", line 87, in <module>
    window = Window()

    pix = icon_info.load_icon()
glib.GError: Unrecognized image file format

I also checked out Bug #784067 but zeitgeist is running in my case:
[INFO - root] An existing instance was found. Please use --replace to quit it and start a new instance.

I have this issue on one box, but not on another. I suspect its a missing dependency but have been unable to determine which one at this point.

[rhpot1991 (rhpot1991)]

Temporary work around, change line 674 from:
pix = icon_info.load_icon()
to
pix = Nothing

I managed to run this by changing line 674 from:
pix = icon_info.load_icon()
to
pix = None

"None" will be in color!!!

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

A more correct fix is:

Add this line after line 23:

import glib

Change line 676 from:

except gio.Error:

to:

except (gio.Error, glib.GError):

Here's the fix again in patch form.

@cybolic

followed your described step, but still ends with error,
however the last error said this:

NameError: global name 'Nothing' is not defined

[Ghozy Arif Fajri (gojigeje)]

Just experimenting.. I dont event know how to sripct in python.

I tried to change this part again,

pix = Nothing
to this:
pix = None

and activity-log-manager can run now, in my case.
I hope you can review it.

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

Isn't the line already pix = None? It is in my copy.
Anyway, what's the status on this bug? It's been here quite some time now.

I'm closing this since Activity Log Manager has been rewritten in Vala.
