Porthole-0.5.0 released

Maybe you could try to run it as root (fully), configure it (the browser can be configured in the preferences dialog), save the settings and close.

Then -maybe- it will work. Or maybe not, I haven't tested.

that doen's change anything, because as root, the preferences are set for the root.
And it cannont open ephiphany, firefox, or whatever, because there is not X root session launcher

but that's not a big problem but I think it's a bug (the fact that even with sudo and the good password, package.* files are not updated, but you still can emerge/unemerge).
So I just say it there for dol-sen

I just did some testing on the -0.5.0 version. It seems that I am not able to open a webbrowser using the python default webrowser setting, but if I edit the preferences, check the custom webrowser box and fill in a browser command it will work.

porthole stopped working here.
After startup the GUI just freezes and i have to kill the process.
When start it as user the warning msg about root-privileges still appears but then it freezes immediately as well.

This is the output when i start it from a xterm:

Please run it again from an xterm with the -d flag to turn on debug printing. Then post the last 10 lines or so, not the whole thing.

That didn't reveal much to help. There have been a number of things that were deprecated in gtk, but nothing comes out in the debug info. The other thing is that it seems to be stopping at the callback that the db thread is done then gets joined back into the main thread. That seems to imply a python problem rather than a gui/gtk one.

Here is a snipit from mine just now

It seems like it might be a gtk issue then since the progress bar is not working. I am updating my machine to the latest glib, gtk, pygtk and test. I am at work now, but will report back again later.

Well I've updated all gtk related packages to the same as yours, logged out, and back in and all is working fine for both -0.5.0 and the cvs version.

Yes, i had re-logins and a reboot since then.
I also updated my config files.

Well, sooner or later mine will work again or yours will stop to do so as well :-)

Hi Brian,

I'm getting a string of these errors when clicking on a category.

dol-sen · Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2007 2:11 pm Post subject:

Those errors are because portage was changed from an ebuilds files/digest file to the MANIFEST file in the ebuild directory.

I have it changed in CVS, but I've been too busy to get it completed for a new release. It was unfortunate and somewhat discouraging for -0.5.0 to get hard masked for so long. By the time it was no longer hard masked it was already going out of date with changes in portage.

The CVS version, while not installable yet is quite stable, some new features are not completed. There are some display bugs to clean up still, but nothing major.
I'll post a new thread for cvs testing.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is a minor issue as far as I'm concerned and I'm happy to wait for a fix. As it stands, the new version of porthole rocks as it is.

Great job!

Hy!
I have a problem with porthole.
I can't see the compile messages in the terminal, only the line numbers counting up, but with empty space after.
Sometimes it flickers some part of the messages on the last line, but it disappears quickly.
The wget and any other messages are visible, and this only affects the process tab.

It's looks like this:

Something has changed in the gcc output. It no longer adds a cr + lf. I have it working sort-of in cvs by not looking for both.
What I really need to do is sort thru the detailed output (including control characters and set the code to trigger new lines properly again. I hope to get enough time to devote to fixing it properly now that Christmas is over.

Fine! Thank you for your reply! For now at last I known it's not my fault

Hi dol-sen,

great to see you find time to work on porthole again! etc-proposals is in the official tree now, so it would be great to have the plugin for it in the next release. Hopefully, I will find some time for that on the weekend ;-)

Yours, Björn
