Description of problem: Liveusb-creator crashes with the "Unknown dbus exception:" displayed in the gui and the following output to the terminal window it was started in. $ liveusb-creator --reset-mbr Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/gui.py", line 479, in begin self.live.mount_device() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/creator.py", line 580, in mount_device self.log.exception(e) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1164, in exception self.error(msg, exc_info=1, *args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1158, in error self._log(ERROR, msg, args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1250, in _log self.handle(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1260, in handle self.callHandlers(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1300, in callHandlers hdlr.handle(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 744, in handle self.emit(record) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/gui.py", line 255, in emit self.cb(record.msg) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/gui.py", line 282, in <lambda> self.handler = LiveUSBLogHandler(lambda x: self.textEdit.append(x)) TypeError: QTextEdit.append(QString): argument 1 has unexpected type 'DBusException' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): liveusb-creator.noarch 3.11.1-1.fc15 @updates How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run: liveusb-creator --reset-mbr 2. select the iso 3. click the "Create Live USB" button Actual results: crashes and wedges with the above msg. Expected results: no crash or wedging Additional info: The --reset-mbr doesn't seem to effect the results. It crashes either way.
I made a minor tweak to the exception handling in this case. It most likely won't fix the issue, but it should hopefully make the "unknown" dbus exception more obvious. Please try and reproduce this issue with this update, which is on it's way to updates-testing: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/liveusb-creator-3.11.4-1.fc15 Thanks!
That build (3.11.4-1) made the problem disappear for me.
Can I help with any more feedback, or should this bug be closed?
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
