[apport] python crashed with SIGSEGV in g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID()

[Alberto Milone]

I was using the menu of SPE and SPE crashed.

Martin: this report was assigned to python-defaults, should have gone to spe first.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Matthias: This is due to explicitly calling python with the spe script name as argument, instead of directly executing the spe Python script. Assigning the former to spe instead of python clashes with other use cases of crash interception of interactive Python processes, but I'll try to find a good compromise.

 apport (0.64) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add 'login' command.
   * bin/apport-chroot: Install apport-retrace into a newly created chroot.
   * Add debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Script to install local versions
     of apport, debootstrap, fake{,ch}root libraries, and a feisty apport
     fakechroot. This works OOTB on ronne's amd64 and i386 feisty chroots. The
     script is not shipped in any package yet, but it's convenient to ship it
     in revision control and in the source.
   * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted(): When calling an interpreter with a
     script name as argument, set ExecutablePath to the script instead of the
     interpreter. Add test case. (LP: #88794)
   * apport/report.py, search_bug_patterns(): Catch all exceptions from
     urlopen(), not just IOError. Sometimes this fails with funnier errors.
     (LP: #89589)
   * bin/apport-retrace: Give some additional explanation when installing
     packages fails. (LP: #89916)
   * apport/fileutils.py, get_all_{system_,}reports(): Fix file access race
     condition. (LP: #89977)
   * bin/apport-retrace: Add option -p/--extra-package to install an additional
     package for retracing. May be specified multiple times. Document new
     option in man/apport-retrace.1. (LP: #90077)
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add a similar option -p/--extra-package and install
     those in the 'create' command and simply pass it to apport-retrace in the
     'retrace' command. (LP: #90077)
   * bin/apport-chroot: Add a -v/--verbose option.
   * bin/apport-retrace: Do not complain about missing ddebs for Arch: all
     packages.

please recheck with 2.8

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Matthias Klose:
if your reply is addressed to me I can tell you that I can't use SPE with libwxgtk2.8-0. I have even modified the dependencies of kiki, spe and python-wxglade so as to rebuild spe but SPE crashes at launch with 2.8.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I have updated my system today and I can't reproduce the error in SPE any longer.

Should you need further details, please let me know.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I managed to reproduce this error. Here is what I did:
1) I opened 5 (.py) files (so as to get 5 tabs)
2) closed SPE
3) moved the folder containing the files
4) opened SPE again. SPE showed 5 tabs (displaying the names of the files correctly) but (obviously) if I selected a tab the content of the file was blank.
5) I closed all the tabs and then I clicked on the "File" menu and I got the following error (repeated over and over):

Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_spe/Menu.py",line 188, in skip
child.statusBar.throbber.Play()
AttributeError:'NoneType' object has no attribute 'statusbar'

I can find the whole bugreport as an attach

Hi, I'm the author of SPE. This is fixed in Ubuntu Hardy package of SPE.

[Stani (stani)]

This was a bug in SPE and for sure not a bug in wxwidgets, so I close it as invalid.
