Greetings,
Can someone enlighten me on this? (most versions should be obvious from
the text) This is the 1st time I've seriously played with anything using
python, so its probably something dumb.
I have managed to get 1.7.6.1 (from debian packages at
http://debian.geole.info/) working through alot of hacks and horrible
things, so I'm trying to get 1.8.2 to run cleanly from the unpacked
tarball, or at the very least, installed its own directory.
I eventually got to:

lots of KILL and INT etc. signals being sent after here, so it looks
like its already decided to shutdown.
How did you install freevo? Have you got all the deps installed for
it? It looks like a broken install or several missing critical parts.
I am running it straight from a unpacked tarball.
Hmm, well the wiki has suddenly changed - it used to say you could do
this in the install instructions (and was the reason I chose freevo over
mythtv)...
Anyway, I did take a shot at installing it once (via `python2.4
./setup.py --prefix /opt/freevo`). I think it did pretty much the same
thing though - the python/zope crash thing, not the buggy silent exit thing.
strace output is rarely helpful; much better is the log with debug
enabled. This is done by adding to local_conf.py:
DEBUG = 1
LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
More than likely there is a configuration problem and the easiest way to
determine this is:
# freevo prompt
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Feb 11 2007, 17:31:10)
[GCC 3.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import config
>>> config.FREEVO_LOGDIR
'/var/log/freevo'
>>>
If there is an error it will show during the import. There will be a log
file created called /var/log/freevo/prompt-0.log (actually the name will
vary depending on your set-up.
Will you report back what you see?
Ah hah! Good thinking...

Ok, so you were right, Duncan, and it hasnt loaded the local_conf.py I
was editing (/etc/freevo/local_conf.py).
I noticed the version number was wrong in
/var/log/freevo/prompt-<myuid>.log, so I guess it was loading parts of
the old systemwide installation. I removed that, and tried again. This
means I'm now stuck with using the newer kaa libraries that crash it,
although the prompt command still works ok. It did the exact same thing,
and here's what was in it the log the 2nd time:

Not amazingly helpful. Any more clues?
That looks like a known bug in a version of kaa-base. I think this may
have been fixed recently, can you update to the latest svn and try it
again? If that doesn't work you'll have to downgrade to the last
released version of kaa.
Make sure you do the following to clear out the old installation files
(adjust as your paths may require)
rm -rf /kaa/base/build
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/kaa*
python setup.py clean
python setup.py isntall
It is possible that this is kaa related but it could be an install
problem or a config problem. The log looks funny, I would expect it to
look like this (timestamps removed so that it is a bit easier to read:

Are you sure that you do not have a local_conf.py in
/home/surge/.freevo/? This is often a problem.
If there is a tool to re-indent python code, that comes with Python-2.5
and works fine with Python-2.4, If there are syntax errors in the
local_conf.py this will show them up. You simply type:
# svn export \
svn://svn.freevo.org/freevo/branches/rel-1/freevo/contrib/developer/reindent.py
# python reindent.py /etc/freevo/local_conf.py
Another common problem is as John says old installs causing problems,
python is reading an old library module and this causes strange effects.
To check where freevo is getting its python modules you can use:
# freevo prompt
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Feb 11 2007, 17:31:10)
[GCC 3.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo', '/usr/lib/python24.zip',
'/usr/lib/python2.4', '/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload',
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric',
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL',
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode']
>>>
The directories to clean up are in the above case:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo
/usr/share/freevo
/usr/share/doc/freevo
There is a locking problem in 1.8.2 and earlier releases that causes
freevo to lock-up when printing WARNING messages. Attached is a patch
that fixes this. If this is the problem then I'll release 1.8.3.
