Gaphor doesn't start

[jon latorre]

When I try to start gaphor it complais about some imported modules. The startup log is atached. I tried it in Ubuntu Dapper PPC

[jon latorre (moebius-etxea)]

gaphor startup error

[Loic Pefferkorn (loic)]

Confirmed on x86 too.

[MoMaT (momat)]

New release of gaphor 0.8.1 from http://gaphor.sourceforge.net/download.php doesn't work in Dapper due to demand of newer python-diacanvas libs (0.14.4 available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/diacanvas):

Module 'diacanvas' found.
  Checking key 'diacanvas.diacanvas_version' >= 0.14.3... Failed (0.14.2)

Config failed.
The following modules can not be found or are to old:
  'diacanvas'

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

I don't get the above error but I do get an error that is should be using gnomecanvas module and not gnome.canvas

[Sean Farrell (rioki)]

I do not know if you are refering to the same bug but here is the diagnosis output if gaphor before dying.

(It seems that there are different problems and it may be that the actual bug is in diacanvas...)

[Aldo Nogueira (aldo-nogueira)]

System: Dapper i386 32bits

I've tested gaphor 0.7.1 and 0.8.1 downloaded from sourceforge. The same problem described above of no attribute 'CanvasGroup'.
I've tried diacanvas2 0.14.3 and 0.14.4 with the same result.

Finally i've tested gaphor 0.7.0 (same as breezy version) and the result now was:

File "/home/aldo/tmp/gaphor-0.7.0/utils/msgfmt.py", line 91, in generate 0, 0) # size and offset of hash table
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

Who am i to blame: Gaphor or diacanvas?

[Aanjhan Ranganathan (aanjhan)]

Yes I am also able to reproduce it on my Dapper up-todate system on x86.

[lmierzej (lmierzej)]

Is this only Ubuntu related bug? Anyone managed to launch Gaphor 0.7.1 or 0.8.1 on other linux distro?

Confirmed for edgy amd64. Though I get a segfault here... (sorry, no debugging symbols here).

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

Just downloaded 0.9.1 and it ran fine on an Edgy machine using the included run-gaphor.sh script. There was an error loading the one diagram file I tried, but creating a new diagram seems to work fine. That is more than Gaphor has been able to do in the last two Ubuntu releases for me.

I'm agree, thank you, I have seen.

[Pedro Sousa (pasousa-isr)]

In Ubuntu version 7.04 the bug continues, as the "0.8.1-5.1ubuntu1" version is still provided.

Is there any repository with a 0.9.0 compiled version package for Fiest Fawn. And for the new version, 0.10?

Yes. I have it working locally, but the package isn't finished yet. Should be done by the end of the month.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

There is now effort under way to release a gaphor 0.10 (with gaphas) in Debian, so the upload of 0.9.2 is being deferred in hopes that a 0.10 release will be included in the next Ubuntu release.

[Martin Kaffanke (martin-kaffanke)]

Why can't we have 0.10 right now in ubuntu feisty (or any getdeb.net release) for all the people which cannot work with gaphor in the current state?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Once the package is worked out for Gutsy (and it's still a work in progress),
there will be a backport request for earlier releases.

But it's interesting that a

works. So we have a working gaphor. The only thing is, that the files are not registerd in apt.

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

Gaphor 0.10.4-1 is now in Gutsy. Does this version resolve this issue? Obviously that doesn't help the Feisty users but it would be nice to know that the issue is at least resolved.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gaphor: Depends: python-gaphas but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Thanks for the update. I'm requesting python-gaphas be synced from Debian
now.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

or rather I'm not because someone else already did it. See Bug #133356.

I've got the same problem as DoomHammer, but to get to this point I had to install python-setupttools, which seems to be a missing dependency.

[John Shaffer (jshaffer)]

Zope does not support Python 2.5. Gaphor works when run with Python 2.4.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

John Shaffer schrieb:

which is wrong. zope2.x doesn't support python2.5, zope3.x does.

[Jan Claeys (janc)]

I can confirm the traceback posted by Piotr when using python 2.5, wile Gaphor works when run as:

python2.4 `which gaphor`

I suspect the zope (sub)module that it uses is part of zope2 then?

[Ali Sabil (asabil)]

The error message says it all, gaphor depends on zope3, and zope3 installs its packages/modules for python 2.4, and not python 2.5, while gaphor is installed with python 2.5

[Marco Matijevic (matijevic)]

I confirm Tantrik's error message for Ubuntu 7.10. I think that's a missing dependency in gaphor's installation file.
After installing python-setuptools 0.6c6-1 modules /usr/lib/python-packages/pkg_resources.py and /usr/lib/python-packages/pkg_resources.pyc appeared and Tantriks's error message vanished.

Instead of Tantrik's error message I got CyberK's Traceback.

There is a directory component in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope .
The directory /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/zope is almost empty besides a directory interface provided by package python-zopeinterface for both python2.4 and python2.5

Ali Sabil is right. The zope3 3.3.1-3build2 package provides files for python2.4 but none for python2.5

[Marco Matijevic (matijevic)]

@CyberK: Try this:

cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
sudo mv zope zope.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope ./zope

I just did a plain apt-get install gaphor on gutsy as well with the following result:

edb@lapedb:~$ gaphor

gaphor 0.10.4 works with python 2.4.
I patch /usr/bin/gaphor file.

I change the first line

#!/usr/bin/python

to

#!/usr/bin/python2.4

It work for me.

[Tim Caswell (tim-creationix)]

Changing the python version doesn't work for me, I'm in Hardy updated to 2008-01-03

[Tim Caswell (tim-creationix)]

Although installing python-setuptools as noted above did help, still in Hardy and using python 2.4, python 2.5 still complains about zope dependencies.

[jonny (jonny-jonespenarth)]

Summarizing the above, I can confirm that the workaround for 7.10 AMD64 is as follows:

1. Manually install the missing dependency python-setuptools
2. Edit /usr/bin/gaphor and change the first line to #!/usr/bin/python2.4

Gaphor then appears to run properly, although I haven't yet used it in anger.

This bug was fixed in the package gaphor - 0.12.4-2ubuntu1

gaphor (0.12.4-2ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Updated Maintainer Field
    - Added Build-Depends-Indep to fix FTBFS
  * Force use of python2.4 to match zope3 (LP: #30344)
  * Block use of ez_setup and build-depend-indep on python-nose

gaphor (0.12.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * This time, really upload to unstable ...

gaphor (0.12.4-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release, upload to unstable
      Closes: #444864 -- Version in debian is too old
      Closes: #415970 -- A new upstream version is available
  * No more use diacanvas2, but depends on gaphas

      Closes: #423515 -- gaphor segfaults after upgrading python-diacanvas2
