Can't click any categories or tags in overview totals about hamster HOT 26 CLOSED

As an additional note, resizing the window also seems to make things un-clickable.

from hamster.

humm, can't reproduce. try this in a console in the checkout folder:

killall hamster-window-service ./src/hamster-windows-service

this way you will see any output in console. after that try running overview and see if perhaps there are any errors printed out in the console.

thank you!

from hamster.

I encounter the same problems. Additionally clicks on days do not work either.

I followed your suggestion and started "hamster-windows-service" manually, but unfortunately there was no output at all. Any other suggestions on how to debug this problem?

from hamster.

try opening a console and run "hamster" - it will pop up the todays view. then pick "overview" from the menu.
thank you!

from hamster.

On running hamster:

$ hamster
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster/today.py:119: GtkWarning: _gtk_accel_group_attach: assertion `g_slist_find (accel_group->acceleratables, object) == NULL' failed
  self.window.add_accel_group(self.accel_group)

On opening "overview" from the menu

"overview" from the menu/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster/configuration.py:156: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_accel_label_set_accel_closure: assertion `gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (accel_closure) != NULL' failed
  ui.add_from_file(os.path.join(runtime.data_dir, name))

No other outputs where generated.

from hamster.

ah sorry, i forgot to mention to try hovering over the non-clickables, but perhaps you did that, hmmmmm

from hamster.

same for me with gnome 3.4.1 and git checkout.

from hamster.

well we need somebody to track this down proper
@dreeh - could you perhaps check out hamster experiments (https://github.com/projecthamster/experiments) and see if hello.py works for you? It should work as noted in the tutorial - see this screenshot

if it doesn't then there must be something going on with the underlying libs and lib/graphics.py would need adjustments

from hamster.

mhh. now, i've downgraded to gnome2 branch. there are the same error messages mentioned above, but its working (withing gnome 3.4.1).

from hamster.

hello.py is working

from hamster.

good that hello.py is working - that means the problem is some place more easy to find.

re gnome2 branch - that would be rather random, i don't see anything that could have caused it breaking there
from the original report the bug seems to be erratic and not 100% reproducible, which would make me think that you perhaps just got lucky?

in any case i'm not sure what i can recommend doing from here except going into the code and digging out the issue (as i can't reproduce it myself i won't be able to track it). for any testing keep in mind that all windows are called indirectly via the dbus hamster-windows-service service. so for testing you will have to kill that and start it in the /src/ folder in checkout

killall hamster-windows-service
./hamster-windows-service

from hamster.

i'm happy that there is a workaround to access tracked data :-)

• hamster-service is always started by hamster itself
• the error messages are the same with master and gnome2 branch:

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hamster/today.py:119: GtkWarning: _gtk_accel_group_attach: assertion g_slist_find (accel_group->acceleratables, object) == NULL' failed self.window.add_accel_group(self.accel_group) /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hamster/configuration.py:156: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_accel_label_set_accel_closure: assertiongtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (accel_closure) != NULL' failed
ui.add_from_file(os.path.join(runtime.data_dir, name))

• with master no tracked data are shown, no data in overview
• some more error messages after minimize or resize window:

from hamster.

oh yay, looks like you found it! i'll take a look

from hamster.

@dreeh - looks like your bug is a separate one and rather introduced by me a few days ago. could you try pulling now? - fixed the missing imports. the rest was just a huge domino failure

from hamster.

btw those "GtkWarning: _gtk_accel_group_attach" are just warnings

from hamster.

great. its working with master now.

from hamster.

Thank you for the report @dreeh!

To summarize - this fix does not solve the original report by @bendavis78
Ben - would be awesome if you could try hamster experiments as per this comment #46 (comment)

from hamster.

Hi,

Just tested hello.py. Works as expected on my system.

I also updated hamster to the latest GIT version (59f643c). No change in behaviour. Most elements are still not clickable and do not respond to hover.

Additional information to the initial report:
I noticed that the clickable elements on a screen change. E.g. initially only one bar is responding to the hover and click events. Two cases:

1. Clicking on the element can remove this ability from the element and other elements are "suddenly" clickable. That way you can play hide and seek to extract the requested information.
2. After resizing the window, most of the times the contained elements do not respond to hover or click actions at all. I only had a few rare cases where a single element was clickable after resizing the window.

HTH

from hamster.

I have the very same issue and they manifest in the exact same way as @WBTMagnum described them.

Latest git version, just checked out.
hello.py works fine.

If that matters at all I'm running lubuntu/openbox but a colleague next desk to me has it on ubuntu/gnome.

This is quite frustrating so I'm willing to spend time helping you figuring it out, just tell me what other information I can provide and so on.

from hamster.

would be awesome if you could try hamster experiments as per this comment #46

from hamster.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Will try "experiments" as described when I have a chance.

from hamster.

I'm seeing this problem on my work machine with ubuntu quantal; can't reproduce on my home machine (ubuntu precise), even with several different versions (going back to October 2012).

I will test the experiments / hello.py on quantal tomorrow or Friday.

from hamster.

On Quantal, experiments/hello.py works as expected, but hamster is broken as described in the original report. I've tested latest master (fdc01fa), 1.02 (97f8e2c), and an early post-rename version (4222d81); all behave the same way. A fresh install of precise (in a VM) doesn't show the problem.

This suggests to me a library change or bug. Any hints on how to isolate the changes the introduced the problem?

My Quantal install has gnome 3.6.1-0ubuntu1 (as reported by aptitude); Precise has 3.0.2-2ubuntu7.

In addition to the problems described in the original report, the "[-]" button in the upper-right corner of the week calendar is affected: on quantal it appears when I hover over the calendar, but I don't see a finger icon when I hover on it and it doesn't respond to clicks.

Apologies for these piecemeal reports -- I'm reporting as I learn.

from hamster.

I have the same issue. Downgrading libcairo2 to the version in Precise (1.10.2) fixes it for me.

Upgrading libcairo to 1.12.12 (version from Raring) also fixes the issue. Seems like a bug in cairo that has already been fixed.

from hamster.

Same issue here, on Debian wheezy (libcairo 1.12.2 amd64). I compiled and installed libcairo 1.12.14 and the issue is fixed.

from hamster.

the switch to gtk3 should clean the slate for this guy. killing
