The treestore object in ubuntu 11.04 appears to be strict about the values that it accepts. Presumably this is due to a newer pygtk and/or gtk version. Similar problems have occurred with other pygtk apps; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meld/+bug/703603.

It would be nice to have a client that works on last version of ubuntu before the release

This is still failing for me with exactly the same trace with revision 1866 from bzr repository.

Am I missing something?

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

what's your ubuntu version ?

[Mario Sánchez Prada (mariospr)]

At the moment I'm not using ubuntu in this machine but Fedora 14, so I'd say versions of the dependencies would be pretty much the same (or quite similar) than in ubuntu maverick. In more detail:

 glib2-2.26.0
 gtk2-2.22
 pygobject2-2.21.5
 pygtk2-2.17
 pygtk2-libglade-2.17
 python-2.7-8

I now it's weird to file a bug in launchpad when it was reproduced in fedora, but as I got the code from the bazaar repo in launchpad I thought it was the proper place to do it, specially after finding exactly the same problem reported here.

But if you feel like this is not the proper place for me to ask just let me know and I'll do it in any other place :-)

Last, but not least, I think I could try to reproduce it in a ubuntu environment using a KVM image but that would take me more time which I'mlacking right now, so let's see if we can fix it this way first.

Thanks!
