System Preferences do not open

[brummbrum]

Thanks for taking the time to submit a bug report! Please include the following information:

What operating system are you using?

Raspian Buster

What version of Tartube are you using?

v2.4.065

Installed via pip3. Tried both with root privileges as well as without. Fails with the same type error at the same line 2407 in config.py (see below). As you can see, currently installed without root privileges in the home directory.

What happens when you run Tartube from a terminal window?

==========================================

PS: First tartube would not update yt-dlp or download anything. Since I was not able to get into the system preferences, I edited settings.json manually: changed "ytdl_update_current" from default to "ytdl_update_pypi_path" and ""ytdl_path" from default to "~/.local/bin/youtube-dl". Now tartube works fine, but it is very inconvenient to change all the detailed settings manually rather than via System Preferences. Thanks!!

Fixed in v2.4.069. You found a bug in which one of the checkbuttons did display the correct internal value. i don't know why it produces Python errors for you but not for me; changes to the Gtk graphics library probably.

You should be able to update using Pip.

Thank you for the incredibly speedy response! I upgraded via pip3 to v2.4.069 but it still does not work - still getting the same error:

TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value

Checking the terminal again I realized that I had overlooked a gdk error right at startup and a few harmless (?) warnings from gio.py (sorry! Full terminal output below):

(tartube:6266): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 09:50:06.444: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed

I figure this may be the root cause for it failing later in config.py. I am on the latest Raspian Buster long term stable release and cannot try an upgrade to Bullseye for a bunch of reasons. Not sure which libs I could try to update, but this seems to run deeper.... any ideas?

Everything else is running totally fine in tartube, only inconvenience is that all setting changes have to be done manually in the json.

===========================================
Here is the complete terminal output:
~ $ ./.local/bin/tartube

playsound is relying on another python subprocess. Please use pip install pygobject if you want playsound to run more efficiently.

It's the same category of error, try updating from Pip again.

You are faster fixing than I can try :-)
I just upgraded to 2.4.077 (rather than 2.4.072 referenced in this specific fix) and System Preferences works now. Nice!

On initial startup I got a weird message that the database was already in use by another process. Quit tartube. Open again - same message. Decided to ignore and load anyway - et voila everything is working now. Also, upon relaunch of tartube, no weird message regarding the database anymore. Just wanted to let you know about it, does not seem to matter, maybe some odd stuff happening on my Raspberry pi which is running continuously (no reboots since last time testing tartube).

Thanks!

EDIT: Haha, just checked what else you changed and it seems the mechanism/flags used during database load may have had the wrong state and caused the message that I saw. Anyways, it is self healing, i.e. as I said no more message after first occurrence.

Great!
