blueproximity is not working

[Gabor Toth]

I have installed blueproximity in Ubuntu 14.04. It installed without a problem. When I tried to start it nothing happened. No GUI comes up, no error message, no crash report, nothing. I manually triggered this report.

I have all updates installed. Bluetooth working properly.

When starting from terminal I get this:

"Using config file 'standard.conf'.
/usr/share/blueproximity/proximity.py:186: GtkWarning: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
  self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile)"

Have to Ctrl+C to get out of there an nothing else shows up. Not sure what this means.

Running it on Dell Inspirion 17R with 8GB RAM.

Cheers,

Gabor

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I found a solution that is quite easy to implement that makes the UI appear, after getting a hint from this page https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/spinbutton-adjustment-warnings

Oops, added the reverse patch, this one should be the proper one.

Exact the same error message appears in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS...

[Preston Carman (preston.carman)]

Just wanted to add the same error message appears in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
