** Summary changed:
- mugshot produces python errors
+ [SRU] Mugshot fails to start for some users
** Description changed:
- Ubuntu 14.04.1
- mugshot version: 0.2.3-1
+ [Impact]
+ Because of incomplete logic for collecting user details, Mugshot 0.2.5 may
+ fail to start for some users. As of version 0.2.5, user details are pulled
+ from several sources including LibreOffice, passwd, and GLib. In this way,
+ the following critical errors are avoided.
- When I try to start mugshot via the About Me icon in the xfce4
- settings panel, nothing seems to happen.
-
- If I try to start it from a terminal it says:
-
- devil:~$ mugshot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py, line 252,
in init_user_details
first_name, last_name = name.split(' ', 1)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'name' referenced before assignment
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/bin/mugshot, line 35, in module
mugshot.main()
File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/__init__.py, line 45, in main
window = MugshotWindow.MugshotWindow()
File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot_lib/Window.py, line 50, in

File /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/MugshotWindow.py, line 254,
in init_user_details
first_name = name
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'name' referenced before assignment
+
+ [Test Case]
+ If you have an LDAP-configured account...
+ 1. Start Mugshot.
+
+ Otherwise...
+ 1. Set your account name to A.
+ 2. Start Mugshot.
+
+ [Expected Results]
+ Mugshot should start successfully.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None. This new release adds several safeguards to prevent future similar
issues.
