Description Ralph Koroly 2013-11-26 15:58:19 CET

The "drakdisk" program crashed. Drakbug-16.0 caught it.

in Mageia Control Center I tried to "Manage Disk Partitions"

Can't call method "grab_focus" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/libDrakX/diskdrake/hd_gtk.pm line 118.
Perl's trace:
standalone::bug_handler() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/diskdrake/hd_gtk.pm:118

Please test again with drakxtools-16.1 (should be released tonight)

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2013-11-29 08:23:01 CET

I cannot reproduce as of drakxtools-16.1. I'm closing for now
Please reopen this bug report if you still see this bug with newer drakxtools.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2013-12-01 19:46:22 CET

looks valid in stage2 according to pre-beta2 QA pad, I asked the one concerned to open a new bug

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2013-12-02 07:40:55 CET

Just reopen this one instead!

Comment 5 Dick Gevers 2013-12-03 04:51:16 CET

"The one concerned" is me ;)
Looks like the fix in git will be in the next iso (prerelease 3rd round). In the 2nd round it isn't fixed yet, because that iso dates before the fix. Will reopen if needed only after next (pre-)release.

Comment 6 Dick Gevers 2013-12-07 10:18:53 CET

Sorry but 3rd prerelease round of beta2 (Live DVD Gnome 64 bits) still has roughly the same error (not a crash):

Start install, choose:
Custom disk partitioning --> next 
and then appears an error message appears reading:
---
draklive-install
Partitioning failed: Can't call method "grab_focus" on an undefined value.
Ok.
---

Press 'Ok' and one gets again the diskdrake gui, on top of the previous one. Partitions now have colour and are normal size (not one mm anymore), but there are 2 diskdrake guis on top of each visible to the user.

When you choose *again* custom disk partitioning and "next", the warning to make a backup of your data or continue appears between the top and lower diskdrake guis, but you can't get it to focus, because the latest diskdrake gui has the focus. 

Also the top gui cannot now access the disks: nothing happens. Only quitting works.

Do this a few times and then you have only one diskdrake and one can continue. But by now the average user is feeling sufficiently insecure to not continue and give up.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2013-12-07 13:45:23 CET

That's not the same bug (diskdrake vs draklive-install)

Please open another bug report.
With the exact error (with line number) from /tmp/ddebug.log or from console

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
