Subject: [Bug 205163] Re: failed to create disk partitions under vmware
Thank you for your bug report.
Actually, this crash is a crash of the crash reporter (apport) itself.
Please attach the crash file for the vmware crash itself to this bug
report here. Hopefully it's in /var/crash/.
Now analyzing..
This is similar to bug 84196, which had been fixed for Feisty (bzr revno 566).
But in bzr revno 979 this appears to have regressed. It does not check for attribute "splitlines" anymore, but if it has no attribute "gzipvalue" and is not binary data.
Given a tuple, this does not have an attribute "gzipvalue" and depending
on its values, _is_binary will return False.
The code in question (in Ubuntu Hardy) is:
# string value
if not hasattr(self.report[key], 'gzipvalue') and not self.report._is_binary(self.report[key]):
lines =
self.report[key].splitlines()
for line in lines:
QTreeWidgetItem(keyitem, [line])
if len(lines) < 4:
keyitem.setExpanded(True)
else:
QTreeWidgetItem (keyitem, [_('(binary data)')])
And _is_binary, which should probably check if the given data is actually a string?!
def _is_binary(self, string):
'''Check if the given strings contains binary data.'''
for c in string:
if c < ' ' and not c.isspace():
return True
return False
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
Status: New => Triaged
** Summary changed:
- failed to create disk partitions under vmware
+ Regression in apport-qt: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'splitlines'

Regression in apport-qt: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'splitlines'
