#623 closed defect (fixed)

Do not write timestamp when not managed to connect

Reported by: skierpage Owned by: erikos
Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer Milestone:
Component: Sugar Version: 0.84.x
Severity: Blocker Keywords: r+
Cc: Distribution/OS: Fedora
Bug Status: Resolved

Description

I booted recent Rawhide-XO on my XO off SD card. After logging in to Sugar, after the cursor got chunky but before the Home view appeared, the screen went black and the Gnome spinning cursor returned.

I looked in Sugar's shell.log and saw:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sugar-session", line 173, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/sugar-session", line 157, in main
    home_window = HomeWindow()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/homewindow.py", line 57, in __init__
    self._mesh_box = MeshBox()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/meshbox.py", line 755, in __init__
    netmgr_observer.listen()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/meshbox.py", line 654, in listen
    settings = network.get_settings()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/model/network.py", line 312, in get_settings
    load_connections()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/model/network.py", line 365, in load_connections
    timestamp = int(config.get(section, 'timestamp'))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'None'

I guess Python won't turn 'None' into an int, so the code needs to handle this. I looked in older shell.log files and it happened another time. I don't know whether this is the reason my Sugar session didn't start. If it is, it seems all this networking code should be in a try-catch block -- a network failure shouldn't stop the Sugar desktop from launching.

It actually is in a try block.

If a setting does not have a timestamp it will be caught by ConfigParser.Error. Can you paste the content of ~/.sugar/default/nm/connections.cfg ?

Ok, I see now, the file you are reading from must be corrupted. Will handle corrupted files in an upcoming patch better.
