New issue 77 by nomo17k: flyback does not run on Debian Lenny
http://code.google.com/p/flyback/issues/detail?id=77

I installed flyback_0.6.1_r111-1_all.deb on Debian Lenny. Unfortunately I
cannot get it to run at all. When running it with python flyback.py, I get
the following error:

(flyback.py:5646): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `orientation' for
class `GtkVBox'

(flyback.py:5646): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `orientation' for
class `GtkVBox'

not sure what could cause this. what version of python are you running?
in util.py, could you add the following:

print 'device_monitor_thread', device_monitor_thread

after this line:

device_monitor_thread = DeviceMonitorThread()

and rerun? (and give me the output?)

This is because you use python2.5 on Lenny which has no is_alive() method
on the
threading object.
On Debian SID with python2.6 it works very well.

bummer. didn't know that is_alive() is new in 2.6. (usually the docs will
hint at
such...)

googling leads me to the following fix:
if not hasattr(threading.Thread, "is_alive"):
threading.Thread.is_alive = threading.Thread.isAlive

This issue exists on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS also. The checked in fix for util.py
works
(thanks) but the latest .deb available doesn't include the fix so you may
see more
people with this issue.
