Notices

Forgive me, I'm not sure if you would prefer this as a bug report.

On my fresh n900 (nothing migrated from my n810) after installing gpodder from extras-testing and trying to launch gpodder for the first time it loads up' gives the "please wait/loading settings" then crashes after a moment.

I tried gpodder-backup --purge but the behavior remained unchanged.

trying from the command line I get:
~ $ gpodder
Error detecting libnotify server.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gpodder", line 153, in <module>
from gpodder import gui
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gpodder/gui.py", line 93, in <module>
from gpodder.gtkui.desktop.sync import gPodderSyncUI
ImportError: No module named desktop.sync
~ $

Please let me know how I can help provide better info.

Thanks,
ashes

i dont like the way it handles opml files b/c when i add one and subscribe to podcast from it clears directory so i have to type in opml file again to subscribe to another.
apart from that its a great application
if you don't understand what i mean add the below opml and try subscribe to multiple podcasts from it without having to type in opml multiple times.

You have to start it with the "--fremantle" switch, like this:

The list for the OPML import is a multi-selection list. Select all the podcasts you want *before* clicking on "Subscribe"

~ $ gpodder --fremantle

is there no way to save OPML directory so I can go back at a later date to subscribe to more, it would be a most welcomed feature.
i want to add i love gPodder and i'm not complaining just trying throw ideas about, even if it was never upgraded ever again i'd still be more than happy with it

Ah, so you want to enter an OPML URL and then have a kind of "recent history" of OPML URLs you have entered? Makes sense. Could you add this as a feature request to https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gPodder? Thanks

Sounds like you don't have proper permissions on ~/.config/gpodder/database.sqlite or the file is opened by someone else. Please check - maybe another gPodder instance is still running? Also, try to remove ~/.config/gpodder/ (backup any existing data in case you need it later) and start gPodder again.

Ah, thank you very much. I rebooted my n900 for good measure, rm -rf ~/.config/gpodder/ then it launched correctly.

Is there a Christian podcast for the N900? I tried to search in gpodder but couldn't find one.
