Start-Up Manager

[Chinello Cybernético]

Hi, to use it, I had to this:

- edit manually the option "vga" in the /usr/bin/startup-manager.py (I put 791)
- insert the color name "blink-red" on 'color_dict' vector in the 'convert_color' method, in startup-manager.py
- insert the color label "Blink-red" two times in the /usr/share/startup-manager/sum.glade

Now I will reboot for test my new conf

There seems to be something wrong with the script, at least in my case.

When trying to start Start-Up Manager from the menus, it just blinks on the screen and then closes. Starting it from the terminal gives this:

$ sudo /usr/bin/startup-manager.py
Password:

(startup-manager.py:10556): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Volume monitoring will not work.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/startup-manager.py", line 649, in ?
    sumGui = SumGui()
  File "/usr/bin/startup-manager.py", line 642, in __init__
    self.update_widgets()
  File "/usr/bin/startup-manager.py", line 568, in update_widgets
    self.timeout_spinner.set_value(Config.timeout)
TypeError: a float is required

Any hints?

New version attached(sum_0.9-4_all.deb).
This new version should be able to properly handle the "blink-" option.

Why did you need to specify 791 for vga?
And where(which line) did you specify it?

Hm, either you have a corrupted "timeout" line, or it has some value which I have not thought about.
Please post your /boot/grub/menu.lst

There is something called reporting bugs. Do you feel like doing so?

I solved the case by myself: I had commented out the timeout line at some point, so that must've been it. Without the # Start-Up Manager starts up just nicely. Can this be considered as a bug report of some sort?
