Critical error when starting 6.32

weedfreak · 01-07-2010, 05:48 AM

I missed out 6.31 due to network issues at my end but did an update to 6.32 today. The program did seem to take quite a long time to start after the update, in fact I closed it down after a minute and retried via command line which showed this error -

Code:

** (<unknown>:2459): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
link  hasn't been detected!

Traceback (most recent call last):

URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>

The program did load and seems to be working, but checking running process' did show it was using more than previous versions ( I think )

That's not a critical error, it just means the attempt to connect to the calibre website to check for an update failed. ANd the first line is a problem with the GTK theme you're using. GTK is very liberal about what it beleives to be a critical error.
