Democracy fails to start - dbus_bindings
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:05 EST
Description of Problem: Democracy-0.9.5.1-8.fc7 fails to run on a fresh install of F7. Bombs out with a dbus_bindings problem: Additional Info: $ democracyplayer /usr/bin/democracyplayer:81: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is deprecated and will go away soon. dbus-python 0.80 provides only a partial emulation of the old dbus_bindings, which was never meant to be public API. Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2). If you need additional public API, please contact the maintainers via <dbus@lists.freedesktop.org>. import dbus_bindings /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus_bindings.py:5: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is deprecated and will go away soon. dbus-python 0.80 provides only a partial emulation of the old dbus_bindings, which was never meant to be public API.

problem is sent upstream. waiting for feedback.
0.9.5.1-10 should fix this problem. any anybody verify this?!
I am also having this problem, Ubuntu has a thread on it too. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/democracyplayer/+bug/81798
Thorsten, it seems to be working just great now - thanks. It did take a couple minutes to upgrade the db from the previous version before the GUI popped up, though. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=7820
would love to test but where do i find the 0.9.5.1-10 version?
just found it it works

Still broken for me with Democracy-0.9.5.1-11.fc7 and everything else fully updated. Please reopen.

Ignore my previous message. My problem appears slightly different and is already assigned as bug #244889.
