Already in breezy, but would be great for hoary (without adding the breezy rep. to hoary)

I just noticed that this has been backported.

I get the following error trying to run it:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/serpentine", line 52, in ?
app = SerpentineApplication ()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serpentine/__init__.py", line 59, in __init__
self.__preferences = RecordingPreferences ()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serpentine/preferences.py", line 72, in __init__
self.__update_speed ()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serpentine/preferences.py", line 102, in __update_speed
assert speed > 0
AssertionError

strange... I don't get that.

Anyone else can reproduce this?


In any case, I'm holding this back from 6/3 promotions.

I get the same error.

For me it's working ;)

Seems to be some check whether your cdwriter supports speeds faster than 0 (without looking at the code... just an assumption)

Do you have one and can you access it as the user you run serpentine with?

[ow50]

Do you have one and can you access it as the user you run serpentine with?
Yes, I have a CD-writer. I should be able to access it as user. Running serpentine as sudo causes the exact same crash.

[ow50]

It could well be that the problem is that serpentine doesn't recognize my burner. It took quite many versions of GnomeBaker as well before my burner was recognized. Either way this is probably not a packaging problem, just an early development stage app with bad exception handling. So, jdong, feel free to move this to stable if works for others.

From the Serpentine homepage http://s1x.homelinux.net/projects/serpentine/

Note: if you use Ubuntu you just need to install the package python-gnome2-extras, just search it and install it with Synaptic under System/Synaptic Package Manager or through the command line

This doesn't seem to fix the problem for me, but should this maybe be in its dependency list?

FWIW, I grabbed this last night because I needed a burner for my FLAC files, and I had no problems with it. Though the rough edges in the program are still evident, it did not crash on my box.

well, if it needs that package aswell, shouldnt that package be in the depends?

I still get the error...running as sudo or as normal user makes no difference,
installed the suggested package, and found out it was already installed...
gnomebaker, works, k3b works...but serpentine..doesn't...

can I change the preferences.py ?? and so what should be changed...

Hello there folks,

Serpentine 0.6.1 fixes that problem.

[RaymondQE]

I was having the same problem with serpentine 0.5 but when I changed the default_speed using the Gnome configuration editor (apps->nautilus-cd-burner->recording_speed), I stopped getting the error. This might be a good workaround until the latest version is packaged.


Anyways, great program cogumbreiro. I love that you can load any gstreamer compatible music file and are able to burn it to a cd.

I get the following error message:
<code>Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/serpentine", line 2, in ?
import gtk, sys, gobject, gnome, os
ImportError: No module named gtk</code>

what could the problem be?

[wouaren]

Same problem here

vincent@ubuntu:/usr/bin$ serpentine
