Python bug

[gauchao]

I have been trying to run Yumex under F12, x86_64. It always crashes when it finishes to resolve the repositories and then the Automatic Bug Reporting tool blinks indicating a bug in python 2.6.2-2.fc12. Anyone else has seen the same bug? What have you done to solve it?

[Demz]

i would think yumex is the problem here. what if you use yum in Terminal ? any crashes then?

hve you tried doing a yum clean all in Terminal? an then try yumex

what repo's do you have? yum repolist

[gauchao]

Yum works fine in Terminal. I have the adobe-linux-i386, Fedora 12 - x86_64, livna (only for dvd playback)rpm.livna.org rpmfusion-free, rpmfusion-free-updates, rpmfusion-nonfree, rpmfusion-nonfree-updates, updates Fedora 12 - x86_64 - Updates enabled. Yum clean all followed by Yumex gives the same result...

[Demz]

well in all Honesty you should be using the Adobe Flash player 64bit not the 32bit one ..sounds to me more of a yumex Problem than anything else http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205642

try removin the 32bit Flash an install the 64bit one

[gauchao]

I am already using the alfa 64bit Flash. I have installed it from the tarball file from adobe. The repo is enabled because have installed adobe reader from it. Anyway, I could try to install a newer YUMEX from rawhide using YUM in terminal... what do you think? How do I enable the rawhide repo in yum?

Sorry for the silly question: yum --enablerepo=rawhide install yumex...

Nope, it didn't work. Upgraded to yumex 2.9.4-1.fc13, the same crash and the same bug reporting tool (python)...

[Demz]

i dunno what else to suggest but to think there's a Problem with yumex. i suppose all you can do is look in redhat bugzilla for any similar Bugs reported to see what oir if there are any fix's

[citojaso]

Have been pullin hair....my hair...trying to find an answer to my problem. Yumex crashes if it's run from terminal or menu. Auto bug report claims a problem in python. When i tell auto bug to report it never completes, it hangs on "getting backtrace".

I've reinstalled yumex, closed different repos, reinstalled python, tried different install of flash, all for nothing.

Still unable to use yumex.

[Myope-Eagle]

I have exactly the same symptoms (yumex & abrt) on an Intel 32 bits laptop after the last update run of Fedora 12.

Before the update yumex was perfectly running.

I have also discovered that even drpython is no more working.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion

[Demz]

could be a Bug in both python an Yumex

[David Batson]

Just happened to me. Was working fine earlier today, then I performed the following updates via Yum Extender and now Yum Extender crashes with a Python error.

Redhat bugzilla is also down atm.

I also have the problem with yumex after the yesterday update.
I search and I find the cause of problem:
It is the gtk2 package (gtk2-immodule-xim-2.18.5-3.fc12 ,gtk2-2.18.5-3.fc12)
I downgrade to the previous version (gtk2-immodule-xim-2.18.4-3, gtk2-2.18.4-3.fc12) and yumex work, with warning:

Yep, that works. I get a security warning though to upgrade those packages.

yum downgrade gtk2*

[citojaso]

Thanks chepioq! You came to the rescue just in the nick of time. I still have a couple of hairs left on my head.

[chepioq]

I have a new information:
The problem is only with "gtk2-immodule-xim", I remove this package and I can update the gtk2 package.
My fedora 12 work fine...
What the utility of this package?

[David Batson]

Thanks for the info, chepioq!
