Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: font-manager
Dear Folks,
I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and have the font-manager
package version 0.5.6-1 installed. Every time I try to start it up it
crashes with the following error below:
----------------------------------------------------------
INFO : Verified /home/nandu/.fonts.conf
INFO : Font Manager is now starting
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 104, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 95, in main
Main()
File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 90, in __init__
self.objects.load_core()
File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 398, in load_core
self.data['FontManager'] = core.get_manager(self.data['MainWindow'])
File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 739, in get_manager
MANAGER = FontManager(PROGRESS_CALLBACK, parent)
File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 121, in __init__
fonts.Sort(self, self.progress, self.parent)
File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 289, in __init__
self._sort()
File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 412, in _sort
obj = self.cache[name]
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shelve.py", line 122, in __getitem__
value = Unpickler(f).load()
cPickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '/'.
----------------------------------------------------------
A similar problem is reported on:
http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/issues/detail?id=30
but as far as I know it is not related to a font problem as said in the
post above. Furthermore, it is marked as fixed hence, my reason for
starting a new bug report.
I have also deleted the files .fonts.conf, .fontconfig and .fonts
created by the package and reinstalled the package several times but the
problem persists.
Please do let me know if any other information is required.
TIA
Cheers,
nav
