MythBuntu Control Center Plugins Tab Issue

[Jack Deslippe]

Whenever I attempt to make a change in the mythbuntu plugins tab I get a pop-up error

The terminal displays:

$ mythbuntu-control-centre
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre", line 360, in compareState
    plugin.compareState()
  File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mysql_configuration.py", line 121, in compareState
    if self.mysql_service and self.enablemysql.get_active_text() == "Disable":
AttributeError: 'ComboBox' object has no attribute 'get_active_text'

Here are my installed packages

ii mythbuntu-common 0.73 all Mythbuntu application support functions
ii mythbuntu-control-centre 0.64.1 all Mythbuntu Configuration Application

I just updated from mythbuntu 12.04 to 14.04

I also see this error when I do anything in MCC that involves package management. like enabling/disabling services. The symptoms seen on the display are an Error dialog containing the message:
    Exception in compareState of plugin MySQL
    Disabling Plugin
I am launching MCC from the Applications->System menu and the terminal output described by the OP goes into my .xsessions-errors file.
This occurred on a fresh install of mythbuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso dated 4/17/2014 before and after "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" and before and after enabling the mythtv and mythbuntu updates repos.

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

According to
https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/class-gtkcombobox.html#method-gtkcombobox--get-active-text
the method has been deprecated for gtk.ComboBox

Yes it affects me too. I tried to select the Android remote option so I can use MythMote and I get the same error. As a result I can't use MythMote. I'm running the latest version of MythBuntu 14.04

cheers

Can someone verify if this is still an issue? I believe I already fixed this on a different bug report.

I haven't seen this odd behaviour by the mythbuntu control center in 14.04, so there's that.

[Caysho (caysho)]

I am able to change options now.
E.g. just changed to MythMote yesterday.

Not sure if it fits the description and errors originally in this bug. However, I do see some issues on the plugins tab with mythbuntu-control-centre 0.64.1 on recently upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I can reproduce it by clicking on the "Enable/Disable All MythTV Plugins" CheckButton.

The error reported by apport is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/plugins.py", line 133 in toggle_plugins
    if list[item].flags() & Gtk.SENSITIVE:
  AttributeError: 'CheckButton' object has no attribute 'flags'

Seems that the code expects there to be a 'flags' attribute on the object:

127 def toggle_plugins(self,widget):
128 if widget is not None:
129 if widget.get_name() == 'selectall_plugins_checkbox':
130 toggle=widget.get_active()
131 for list in get_frontend_plugin_dictionary(self), get_backend_plugin_dictionary(self):
132 for item in list:
133 if list[item].flags() & Gtk.SENSITIVE:
134 list[item].set_active(toggle)
