Description Jim 2011-12-19 09:03:42 UTC
Description of problem:
liveusb-creator does not run at invocation.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ sudo /usr/bin/liveusb-creator --version
3.11.6

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo /usr/bin/liveusb-creator
2. enter password

  
Actual results:
$ sudo /usr/bin/liveusb-creator   
[sudo] password for notjames: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/liveusb-creator", line 89, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/liveusb-creator", line 82, in main
    from liveusb.gui import LiveUSBApp
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveusb/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
    os.environ['LANG'] = lang
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 471, in __setitem__
    putenv(key, item)
TypeError: must be string, not None

Expected results:
The program to run... :)

Additional info:
I attempted to re-install the program via 'yum reinstall liveusb-creator --disablerepo _local, which successfully downloaded and reinstalled the program but that did not fix the problem.

I don't know Python and it would take me too long to try and learn it efficiently enough to give a patch. Besides, there might be a deeper issue.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:54:21 UTC
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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained.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:
