Thread: [Fwd: Re: Bug#278855: cannot start pgadmin3 with non-C locale]

Hi Andreas,

here is another one... I forward it because it is not fully solved by
beta3. I have warnings with the particular locale zh_TW.Big5

Can you try to identify the exact place for this bug ? Although it seems
that glib is complaining it may be something badly treated by pga3 or
wxWidgets ?

Regards,
Raphaël

I fully confirm this one :(
It seems linked to this particular locale as I tried it with some other
ones like fr_FR.UTF-8@euro and it ran well.
It is partially solved upstream. I've just tried the 1.2.0 beta3
recently released and the GUI launch with warnings like these instead of
freezing:

(pgadmin3:3665): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL)
class pointer

(pgadmin3:3665): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gsignal.c: line 1925
(g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE
(instance)' failed

I'm gonna forward this bug to pgadmin-hackers so that we determine the
exact place for this bug: pga3, wxWidgets or gtk/glib...

We keep in touch,

Raphaël
P.S. If you want to try 1.2.0 beta3, add this line to your sources.list
deb <postgresql mirror url>/pgadmin3/beta/debian (testing|unstable) pgadmin
Example for debian/testing in France:
deb ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/beta/debian testing pgadmin

Example for debian/unstable in France:
deb ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/beta/debian unstable pgadmin

pgAdmin doesn't touch gtk directly. I can't check this, but AFAIR I've
seen comments about a broken locale on wx-dev, so I believe it's not
even a wx problem but zh_TW.Big5. gsignal.c is a gtk file.

mmh yes, I've seen some thread concerning zh_TW.Big5 on others lists
too. But what I don't explain is why 1.0.2 freezes where 1.2.0 beta3
runs with warnings ? Any hint before I ask for help at d.o. ?

Absolutely no idea.
