python2.5 crashed with DBusException in call_blocking()

Yes. I got the same popup-message, only once though. I didn't experience any problems because of this. It just happened out of the blue when I was opening Synaptic. This did not seem to cause any other problems, just the popup.

This happens a lot when i have both KDE and GNOME running simutaneously.

I have a similar problem, I get the pop up quite often (if not always) on gnome startup.

I got same error but I use Kubuntu 8.10.

I confirm that I also occasionally get this message using Kubuntu Intrepid. I get this message usually just after logging in.

I also confirm this happens, in my case, everytime I log into KDE. Nothing else seems to be affected though.

Same here.

I confirm the other confirmations in the affirmative.

Same here on 8.10 alpha 6. Appeared after using the new crash handler window for reporting another bug ;-)

The same here. It appears randomly in Kubuntu 8.10 almost beta.

Not a guidance-power-manager bug.

Same bug observed on kubuntu 8.10 amd64 beta.

At the time, adept was applying updates. Guidance reported that the power had been removed, which wasn't the case and then the reported python exception occurred.

Guidance Power Manager will report missing battery/power during a hal/dbus
restart (that part is expected) and then would generally recover on it's
own.

This worked on mine
Make sure KDE Resources are properly installed & install Python 3.
No problems since

Installing Python 3 is very unlikely to help.

I suspect this is a race condition where hal/dbus/guidance don't get started
in the right order sometimes.

Well what ever it is my system is working quite well now, no crashes on
start up, (not showing last good boot in grub though)
Still having a little problem with the graphics, empty boxes where the
close, minimize and full screen icons should be.
If you want any system info let me know & what commands you want running to
get it.
 Thanks

I just experienced this on a fresh boot after updating my new Kububuntu 8.10 beta install.

After updating I've been having the same problem again!!!!
(new kernel)

confirmed on 8.10 beta.

I got this just now, while i was getting the latest updates for intrepid.

I got this again myself; about the same time I got another similar error ( DBusException in call_blocking() ) coming out of kdebluetooth. The relevant bug for kdebluetooth is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebluetooth/+bug/279983
and the debugging statement for THAT bug claims the problem is ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/kblueplugd

Wild conjecture: Either there are a lot of buggy KDE Python programs, or there's something wrong with the shipping version of Python?

The bluetooth issues are purely because bluez was updated and the current
kdebluetooth is incompatible.

Right... I have experienced numerous Python related issues on this install including the one you just mentioned. So it looks like that could possibly be the root cause (although no other issue happened in proximity to this one). I too would hate to imagine that many buggy KDE Python programs.

Thankyou,

Ray

I'm experiencing the same problem with amd64 architecture...

The DBusException in call_blocking() was a combination of HAL being late to start on boot and guidance -power-manager not tolerating that well. I uploaded a fix so GPM will just wait for HAL to start. This should solve this.

Not a python-dbus bug.

Confirming on the Kububtu 8.10 amd64 beta. This also, irritatingly, seems to keep me from running the system76 driver on my machine.

Do you still get this after installing all updates and rebooting?

this or some other bug

OK. That's exactly the case I thought I fixed. I'll look into it.

The bug is currently marked private. Please make it public and either
reassign it to guidance-power-manager or assign it to me.

dont know what happend,
i was doing the version upgrade, and it just 'happend'
