Crashes every time I connect my blue tooth headset

[jc00ke]

So I'll have naturalscrolling running (love it!) but when I connect my Motorola S305 blue tooth headset, naturalscrolling crashes. I can't seem to copy the output from the app crash program so here are some screenshots.

I select Leave Closed and naturalscrolling continues to work correctly. o_O

Thank you @jc00ke for having reported that issue.

It will be hard to fix it as I don't have any bluethooth things, but based on your screenshot I know how to fix it. So the only way to fix it is that you help me:

• I will do the fix and push it
• You will have to try it and give me feedback

If that's okay for you I will fix it :-)

[jc00ke]

Yes, I will be happy to help. Can you provide instructions on updating, or if you update the ppa I can just update via aptitude.

[zedtux]

Hey @jc00ke, I need the traceback section sorry.

[jc00ke]

@zedtux how can I get it to you? I don't see it in the screenshot above. Is there a crash report somewhere else?

[zedtux]

@jc00ke you can quit naturalscrolling and re-start it from a terminal or in your screenshot, there is a collapsed traceback section.

[jc00ke]

Yeah, duh Jesse :wink:

[zedtux]

Great! That's enough for me to do the fix! :smile:

[jc00ke]

:+1: :shipit:

[zedtux]

@jc00ke could you please test my fix by following the step Fetch code sources from our wiki page ?

[jc00ke]

So this time naturalscrolling did not crash when my headphones connected but it did when they disconnected

∴ ./bin/naturalscrolling 
Traceback (most recent call last):

[zedtux]

Alright try again please :smiley: .

This time you just need to do a git pull instead of git clone.

[jc00ke]

No crash! :shipit:

∴ ./bin/naturalscrolling 

(naturalscrolling:10567): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent.

[jc00ke]

Did this get pushed out to Launchpad? I can clone and run locally, but I would prefer to stick with the ppa.

[jc00ke]

PPA never updated for me. Was it pushed?

[zedtux]

You're right I forgotten to produce the package in the PPA.

The code is automatically imported to Launchpad, I just have to update the debian/changelog and start the production of the package.

As soon as it is done, you'll have to install the naturalscrolling-testing instead of naturalscrolling. When you'll have tested it then I'll update the naturalscrolling package.

[zedtux]

The package production is ongoing...

[jc00ke]

Sweet! I couldn't wait, so I run it off HEAD now, but I can install -testing and give it a whirl.

[zedtux]

Packages are now ready. Please test and let me know :-)

[zedtux]

Any news?

[jc00ke]

Sorry, been slammed at work. I'll test it as soon as I can.

[zedtux]

Don't worry we have time :smile:

[jc00ke]

naturalscrolling-testing works!

[zedtux]

Nice. I will then do a merge of the production branch and produce packages.

[zedtux]

Packages have been built and published :smile:

[jc00ke]

I just got a crash when turning off my bluetooth headphones :frowning:

[zedtux]

Hi @jc00ke,

Is this happening often ? Is it happening since a long time ago ?

[jc00ke]

I don't think I connected my bluetooth headphones for a while, and the first time I disconnected them I got that error.

[zedtux]

Is it still raising error or working ? (I will handle this case I just want to know if it's a really issue or maybe just wrong saved data)

[jc00ke]

I packed up my bluetooth headset while I moved, so I won't be able to test it. I don't quite understand what you mean by "if it's really a issue or maybe just wrong saved data" but I'll try to help out where I can.

[zedtux]

My bad... I didn't read carefully enough the error message. Anyway I will handle this case in order to no more have crashing.
