<div dir="ltr">I am unable to launch the record activity in my sugar development environment due to the following (as seen in the log): ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject) ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (HippoCanvasBox) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/broot/sugar-build/<div>build/out/install/bin/sugar-activity", line 164, in <module> main() File "/home/broot/sugar-build/build/out/install/bin/sugar-activity", line 122, in main module = __import__(module_name) File "/home/broot/sugar-build/activities/Record.activity/record.py", line 48, in <module> from model import Model File "/home/broot/sugar-build/activities/Record.activity/model.py", line 38, in <module> from instance import Instance File "/home/broot/sugar-build/activities/Record.activity/instance.py", line 6, in <module> class Instance: File "/home/broot/sugar-build/activities/Record.activity/instance.py", line 8, in Instance keyHash = util.sha_data(key) File "/home/broot/sugar-build/build/out/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sugar/util.py", line 48, in sha_data sha_hash.update(data) TypeError: must be string or buffer, not None Exited with status 1, pid 6433 data (None, <open file '<fdopen>', mode 'w' at 0xa163cd8>, '00ff052bdf454798f5c949c07f1ec80b985eaeba') </div><div>As far as I have traced the error, it is due to the null value in key in line 7 in record/instance.py which in turn is due to no os path in line 87 in sugar-build/build/out/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sugar/profile.py, I saw the path it was set to /home/broot/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub whereas no such path exists when I look through the terminal, the correct path where the owner.key.pub is /home/dotsugar/default/owner.key.pub , I changed the path to this in line 83 of profile.py but still the condition of not os.path.exists(key_path) exists is true and its returning None because of which activity not launching. Other activities are running fine. I also looked into env.py there the follows the path through line 46 to 48, that is path = None condition is true. <div>Can somebody please tell me why am I not able to launch record activity ? why is it giving such an error.I am on ubuntu 12.04</div> </div></div>
