Menubar Gone

[Alvaro Ortiz]

In some cases the menubar is gone, this is not a deditor issue but a wxPython issue.

Original Description:
"When I open the programme the main menu don't appear.

I'm using Ubuntu Linux and I installed the programme with the deb package."

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

Does this give any error if you run it from the terminal?

it's very awkward, I"m using ubuntu maverick to test everything,

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

Kruptein

No there is no error shown in the terminal as you can see from the screen shot attached.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

Hm I will have to investigate this more as I can't reproduce this error.
My first guess it is a problem related to wxPython and not to deditor, so I will have to contact them first.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

Okay can you try to run this, it's just a little app with only a menubar

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

*Also can you please give your version of
a) python
b) wxpython => import wx ; wx.version()

[Alvaro Ortiz (kirtash1197)]

No, any error. I attached Screenshot.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

Sorry for the imensive load of comments :p

You can access the deditor class from the python shell,
if you do:
self.menu.isShown()

does it give True or False?
if it gives False, can you try doing:
self.menu.Show()
self.Layout()

[Alvaro Ortiz (kirtash1197)]

I use python 2.6.6. Do I must test it with python 3.1?
wxpython:
>>> import wx ; wx.version()
'2.8.11.0 (gtk2-unicode)'

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

No not use 3.x at all :D

you have the same wx version :f I use python 2.7 though but that shouldn't matter
can you do the other things I asked to?

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

No menu on menutest.py

Python version is 2.6.6-ubuntu1 (the default in maverick)
wx is the same as alvaro

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'MenuBar' object has no attribute 'isShown'

that is the traceback I get from self.menu.isShown()

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

Ah found the issue it should be a capital I on isShown now it shows true.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

How you get no menu on menutest.py? then it definately is not a deditor problem but a wxPython problem.
I've in meanwhile contacted the wxpython irc, and there was no know issue with it, I'm going to look after this more :)
(I'm going to change it from high to low because it only affects a limited number of people and has nothing todo with deditor itself)

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

I meant, Wow :f :D

[Josh Leverette (coder543)]

Umm... this affects me too. I think this is more widespread than you think, but it might not be.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

It's something that I can't fix, because it's a bug in wxPython's code.

I hope you all are gnome-users, because kde might be the reason that it broke.

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

Kruptein.

I have a feeling the issue here is you're running a no standard developer version of maverick where as we are all using a default version.

Try firing up a clean maverick VM and seeing if it works then from the LP ppa. It may just be a packaging issue or a .dev file that you have that is making the difference.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

Wow you just said: LP ppa, there is indeed a ppa from deditor on lp, but
that is outdated and is from version 0.1.1 or something,
I hope you didn't use the ppa?

I used the 2.2 version at the top, which I'm assuming is in a ppa and also how you are told to get the package from the OMG!Ubuntu review.

[Kruptein (darragh-ssa)]

Okay if you downloaded from that page no problem :) and that's not a ppa ;)
but nevermind, I was yesterday on the #wxpython irc channel to ask about the
problem, and some of the devs opened his ubuntu VM karmic and tried it and
it worked and he had a menubar, so I don't think it has something to do with
my computer setup, because the ubuntu VM had a basic setup. Also the fact
you couldn't run the menubartest.py is a sign that problem is somewhere else

[Josh Leverette (coder543)]

No, this is a logical fallacy. The VM should be Meerkat, as Karmic is no longer the latest release. Just because it used to work has little to do if it does work.
