Re: [Qgis-user] Fetch plugins crashing

2010-03-11 Thread Richard Duivenvoorde

Hi Joe,

some things you could try:

- rename the .qgis-folder in your home, and start qgis (which will then 
make a new one. You can then see if this still happens without all the 
plugins (which qgis can't see now because they are in the renamed folder)


- if still crashing. Try removing the 'plugin_installer' plugin temporarily

- if still crashing: try starting qgis with 'strace' (if not installed, 
install first).  If you start qgis from commandline then:

strace qgis
you will have a long (!) list of messages from which the last part maybe 
shows you what went wrong...


how did you install qgis anyway: from respository or building your own?
(I'm running my from trunk compiled qgis on ubuntu 9.10 without 
problems)... what version of python do you have?


Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hello:
I am using QGIS version 1.4 on Ubuntu 9.10.
When I click on "fetch Pyhton plugins" the QGIS app disappears(crashes)
I deleted all traces of the old version before installing QGIS 1.4

I tried sudo qgis to make sure it was not a permissions issue and it still
crashed

This is what I get when I start QGIS from the command prompt:
Python support ENABLED :-) 
Loaded : fTools (package: fTools)

Loaded : Plugin Installer (package: plugin_installer)
Warning: QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments
QgsProject::writeProject(QDomDocument&) -->
QgisApp::projectChanged(QDomDocument)


Any thing I can do the solve this problem

Thanks
Joe

PS: The program works fine otherwise

Hi Geofrey,

+1 from me on this one... though I think there have been reasons given
in the past as to why this is not the case?

Shouldn't the list of found features be sorted in layer order when Identify
Features is in 'top-down' mode?

Hi,

I don't think it's related with the crash when the "fetch python
plugins" menu item is clicked.

Cheers

Re: [Qgis-user] Re: Join Attributes - no Shapefile createt (QGIS 1.4)

2010-03-11 Thread Carson Farmer
Excellent! I've changed how Join Attributes works a bit (in trunk), so
hopefully problems like this will be less frequent in the future. If
you have a chance, I'd appreciate a few tests to make sure that what
was working before is *still* working :-)

Cheers,

Carson
