When hamster is run, it fails with the following error:

$ hamster

After a reboot of the system, I've a error even more scary:

 $ hamster-service 
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hamster/lib/stuff.py:25: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hamster/idle.py:24: PyGIWarning: GConf was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('GConf', '2.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import GConf as gconf
hamster-service up
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Comment 2 Felix Schwarz 2016-02-16 13:03:16 UTC
If I'm not mistaken you are using a faulty version which unfortunately made it into stable. See bug 1307253 for downgrading instructions or try hamster-time-tracker-2.0-0.3.rc1.fc23 which should be available via updates-testing.

Comment 3 lefred 2016-02-16 13:22:58 UTC
I've tired the last one (from https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-7d556fdafa) and it works !

Thank you.

Comment 4 Raphael Groner 2016-02-16 18:46:09 UTC
I fail to see any urgency but I'm happy to see the new update works for you.

Comment 5 lefred 2016-02-16 23:22:39 UTC
It was "urgent" because it created a segfault and I was not able to use this tool which is very important for my daily work ;-)

thank you for the fix.
