arandr crashes

I'm testing Jaunty Jackalope Beta on a Samsung NC10 and I can confirm this bug. I'm getting exactly the same error message. I just tried the debian package from the developers site (http://christian.amsuess.com/tools/arandr/) but it makes no difference.

this is due to the fact that the package in ubuntu is still built against python2.5, while jaunty uses 2.6. (that this becomes an issue at all might because arandr is not packaged according to the latest debian python policies, which is on my agenda but not on top of it).

nevertheless, if the current package was built again, debian bug#523903 would inevitably show up. a fix is in debian as arandr_0.1.2-1.

importing and building 0.1.2-1 for jaunty, on the other hand, would instantaneously fix this bug. thus, i'd like to request a freeze exception for this package.

as required for a freeze exception in [1], the following files will be provided:

 * debian/changelog (i don't keep an extra changelog as an upstream author yet)
 * pbuilder log (created by redirecting stdout and stderr as --logfile did not work)
 * install log

package was tested inside a virtualbox jaunty machine. tests were not too comprehensive given the nature of a virtual machine, but the changes from the last version don't affect the running app anyway.

i should add that the debian source files used were exactly those currently in debian sid, to be found at http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/arandr/arandr_0.1.2-1.dsc

In the end it was easy enough to adjust the current package to build with 2.6, so I went with that rather than bring a new release in right before Ubuntu's release.

This bug was fixed in the package arandr - 0.1.1-2ubuntu1

---------------
arandr (0.1.1-2ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add --install-layout=deb to install rule for Python 2.6 (LP: #345861)
