Sorry Thomas, I feel like I have newbosity all over me. I did what you
asked this time and while the trace was running I tried to set a backup
schedual, which produced this GUI warning:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.TypeError
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in
_message_cb
retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/backend.py",
line 280, in scriptedchanges
plugin_instances[instance].root_scripted_changes(plugin_dictionary[plugin])
File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu-bare.py", line 488,
in root_scripted_changes
config.set('Backup', 'db', reconfigure[subitem])
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1166, in set
self._validate_value_types(option=option, value=value)
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1155, in
_validate_value_types
raise TypeError("option values must be strings")
TypeError: option values must be strings
Here is the is the other terminal output after running the trace:
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ mythbuntu-control-centre
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$
and here is he output of the first terminal:
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo killall mcc-backend[sudo] password for daryl:
mcc-backend: no process found
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo /usr/share/mythbuntu/mcc-backend
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$
Is the following what we are looking for: (maybe more newbosity)
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ cat /usr/share/mythbuntu/mcc-backend
