Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-control-centre

Hi,

I changed to the xubuntu role and i got this error in my terminal:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/core.py", line 838, in apply_pressed
    call_applicator(self,to_install,to_remove,to_reconfigure)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/core.py", line 825, in call_applicator
    apply.commit_changes()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/changer.py", line 210, in commit_changes
    self.process_configuration()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/changer.py", line 355, in process_configuration
    self.configure_autologin(autologin,autologin_user)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/changer.py", line 522, in configure_autologin
    os.chown(home + '/.dmrc',uid,gid)
TypeError: an integer is required

The progress bar is now stuck at "Configuring Automatic Login". It would seem to me that "uid" and "gid" should be substituted with a real UID/GID.

Was this launched as root, or via sudo/gksu/gksudo/kdesu?

I ran mythbuntu-control-centre as normal user and was prompted to enter a password in a GUI window. AFAIK ;)

mythbuntu-control-centre (0.6-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  [ Michael Haas ]
  * Add support for mythweb htaccess.
  * Update german translation.
  * Introduce debconf support.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Catch errors for broken apt cache.
  * Make sure that when generating new lircrc configs, the old config
    is *moved*, not copied. This prevents double listing configs.
  * Remove support for using ubuntu-mythtv-frontend.
  * Don't correct uid/gid unless they are numbers. (LP: #139591)
  * Don't allow changing artwork settings unless at least one
    {,k,x}buntu-desktop package is installed.
  * Don't allow changing artwork settings if automatic login
    is enabled.
