[Python-apps-team] Bug#562069: [startupmanager] Fails to run (cause: missing RANDR extension?)

[Roman Mamedov]

Package: startupmanager
Version: 1.9.13-4
Severity: normal

After just being installed with apt-get install startupmanager, does not run
with this error message:

-----

$ sudo startupmanager
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0".
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0".
RandR extension missing
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/startupmanager", line 54, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/startupmanager", line 51, in main
    SumGui()
  File "/usr/share/startupmanager/gtk_frontend.py", line 166, in __init__
    self.resolution = utils.get_resolution()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/bootconfig/utils.py", line 159, in
get_resolution return matches.group(1) + 'x' + matches.group(2)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

------

It runs fine on another machine, where the RANDR extension is present in the X
server. However, as far as I know this extension is not mandatory and should
not cause a fatal error and inability to run the program.
