Description Elad Alfassa 2010-12-03 09:39:57 UTC 
When i try to configure the grabber, i see blinking terminal-like "cursor", instead of questions. 
 
in the terminal, i see this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 224948

  • File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ontv/assistant.py", line 352 in do_prepare 
    reaper = vte.reaper_get()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'reaper_get'

Hi,

Would like som more info so I can debug this.
Which grabber are you using?
Which version of OnTV are you using? Released version or GIT snapshot (if it's a git version, please specify which commit you checked out)
Do you have python VTE bindings installed?

Thanks for the report

the grabber is tv_grab_il, OnTV from the latest git (cloned today), and yes, i have the python VTE bindings installed.

I think you should look at Bug #320127
Debian has removed the patch that provided the API
You can look also here on Gentoo bugzilla : https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255043

I just tried installing OnTV on a Gentoo machine, and found that I have the same problem there. At least this spares me the trouble of installing a Debian VM. I will look into a workaround

Vte.Reaper is not an upstream API, so ontv should not use it.

A workaround would be much appreciated.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
