[apport] displayconfig-restore.py crashed with ImportError in <module>() - ixf86misc

[Robert Wohleb]

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

I am running Feisty -> AIGLX -> Beryl -> Aquamarine -> KDE on an i915 chipset. Attempting suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk both cause crash.

Related to or dupe of bug 55361?

[Robert Wohleb (rwohleb)]

Within an interactive python session, 'import ixf86misc' works, but 'ixf86misc.GetGamma(0,0)' segfaults. This is consistent with bug 55361, but does not explain the ImportError.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Setting to high based on the large number of duplicates.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

The comment about GetGamma (3) is unrelated to this bug. displyconfig-restore.py does not use that ixf86misc function. It is only called from xf86misc.py.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

If this problem recurs (or if it just happened to you and you are reading about this bug on LP), please try the following:

Open a Konsole window (K menu -> System -> Konsole)
In the window that opens, type:

python

That will show you something like this:

[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

After the >>> type the following lines:

import sys
print sys.path

The output will look something like this:

['', '/usr/lib/python25.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages',

Please copy and paste the entire thing (starting with Python 2.5.1c1 (release25-maint, Apr 12 2007, 21:00:25) - or whatever version you have) into a response to this bug.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Thanks for the inputs. I don't think we need any more.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

I don't need a zillion me too responses, but is anyone who experienced this problem before running Hardy and if so are you still experiencing this problem?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Marking incomplete due to lack of confirmations in Hardy.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Apparently so (given additional dupes).

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Does this happen in 8.04.1 anymore? No new bugs seem to be filed after 8.04 launch.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Since apport automatic crash reporting is disabled after release, I
wouldn't make to much of the lack of post-release reports. The frequncy
seem to be way down, but I don't think this is fully resolved.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Marking won't fix for kde-guidance since it's been removed from Intrepid.

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

I'm closing this bug as the information requested by Timo has not been provided.

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

Hmm.. based on the large number of duplicates, this should be set to incomplete instead. Please reopen if you still encounter this issue.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Displayconfig isn't part of guidance-power-manager, so closing as invalid.
