Can't restart desklets [CLOSED]

By GorDY- (User), on Sat May 21 16:11:33 2005: Can't restart desklets [CLOSED].

Hi all, I've just install adesklets-0.4.8 and now I try to configure yab desklets. When I run yab.py for the first time the desklets start well. After this, I configure the config.txt and then I try to restart it and i've got this message.

python: Modules/gcmodule.c:231: visit_decref: Assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs != 0' failed.
Abort (core dumped)

Info:
Fedora Core 3
X Window System Version 6.8.1
gcc version 3.4.2 20041017
Python 2.3.4
imlib2-1.1.2-3.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
imlib2-devel-1.1.2-3.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm

Any ideas??

Thx you all!

By modifying the configuration file?! Does it reverse back to normal behavior if you move away your custom configuration?

Code:


mv config.txt{,.bak}

Would you share this file with us?

I moved my config file to .bak and then I restart yab.py. That work fine but when I try to restart yab (without modify anything) it doesn't work anymore.

diff config.txt config.txt.bak
85c85
< id6 = {'bar_background_1': 'AAAAAA',
---
> id0 = {'bar_background_1': 'AAAAAA',

Furthemore , I have notice that yab show me (in terminal) the same message when I close it.

Well I made my homework and I find another weird exit msg :

Traceback (most recent call last):

I hope it will help !!

Well, I do not think by seeing all this that it is specifically configuration related; erratic garbage collection errors is something adesklets Python module, by being Pure-Python, is very unlikely to provoke unless the Python interpreter is somewhat broken...

I remembered seing a similar case on slackware a couple of months back: we never pinpointed it, but it went away by itself by resinstalling Python from source...

Also, I suspect you do not start and stop the desklets correctly... Would you look at the documentation (Using adesklets chapter), as well as the FAQ if you did not already?
