glib.GError: Type mismatch: Expected `string' got `int' for key /system/proxy/secure_port

[Anthony Batchelor]

Binary package hint: guake

When a proxy is set up in Gnomes Network Proxy app, guake fails to start with the following error...

$ guake

Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10

I expected Guake to open, instead it crashed.

How often can you reproduce it ?

[Jean-Marc (jean-marc-redhat-bugs)]

 Any time as you want .
 I cant load guake anymore at this time.

 I can do test if you want

[Pierre-YvesChibon (pierre-yveschibon-redhat-bugs)]

It seems that you are using a proxy, somewhere is defined
port: 8080
could you try to put there port: '8080' ?

[Pierre-YvesChibon (pierre-yveschibon-redhat-bugs)]

hm actually I think that would be bad.

I think I found the bug, I attached the patch here

[Pierre-YvesChibon (pierre-yveschibon-redhat-bugs)]

Created attachment 440308
Retrieve the proxy port as int

[Jean-Marc (jean-marc-redhat-bugs)]

 i did :

* gnome-network-property
* select 'no proxy'

 works perfectly now.
 I can make other tests if you want to

[Pierre-YvesChibon (pierre-yveschibon-redhat-bugs)]

Actually, if you could come back to the previous situation and test the patch that would confirmed its effect.

Thanks

Turns out there is a fix released upstream: http://labs.alfaiati.net/guake/ticket/246 with a one line patch.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thanks for your report. I can't reproduce the error in Maverick. Is it still an issue with the final version of Maverick ?

[Anthony Batchelor (toeknee)]

It seems to be working now

[Felix Zweig (f.zweig)]

Actually, it stopped working for me a few days ago.

This is fixed in natty.

I have same problem in Ubuntu 10.10, guake package version: 0.4.2-2ubuntu1.

Will it be fixed for 10.10?
