Hmm. I don't think that this would be from an incompatibility with the new Python and/or GTK+ stuff, as my up-to-date FC5 system does not receive this error. What versions of Python, GTK+, and pygtk2 do you have? Also, does this error occur for you if you revert to the previous version of Scribes (0.2.4.3-3)? Here is the output of rpm -q for the requested packages:
python-2.4.3-4.FC5
gtk2-2.8.19-2
pygtk2-2.8.6-0.fc5.1
scribes-0.2.5-1.fc5
I have rebuilt my machine and re-installed a fresh copy of scribes but it still
won't launch. This time I get the error messages:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is different from before. I have gconf installed version 2.14.0-1. What
versions of the various packages is scribes looking for?
That's progress, I think. :) Does Scribes work again if you install the gnome-python2-gconf package? This time it worked. Kind of strange though since it worked before without this hassle. Must just have been a glitch when yum was working out the dependencies. It seems that, since I already had this package installed, I did not realize that it was a needed dependency for Scribes. I've added this to 0.2.5-2, which should hit the mirrors shortly. Thanks for your bug report! |
Description of problem: Scribes version 0.2.5-1.fc5 does not start from the menu. When started from the command line givs the following error: (scribes:30095): GtkSourceView-CRITICAL **: gtk_source_view_set_tabs_width: assertion `width > 0' failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/scribes", line 98, in ? main(argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Scribes/main.py", line 158, in main editor = launch_new_editor(uri_list, readonly) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Scribes/main.py", line 107, in launch_new_editor editor = Editor() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Scribes/editor.py", line 205, in __init__ text_view = create_text_view(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Scribes/textview.py", line 861, in create_text_view foreground_color = process_color(editor.foreground_color) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Scribes/utility.py", line 137, in process_color red = int(color[0]) IndexError: list index out of range Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.2.5-1.fc5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Normal system setup for Gnome and then a yum update. 2. Install scribes (either through yumex or yum install scribes) 3. Start scribes from the command line. Actual results: Error message as above. Expected results: Launch scribes properly. Additional info: Is this an incompatibility with the latest versions of Python & GTK+?
