[Bug 705856] Re: ccsm crashed with TypeError in _Read(): value is of wrong type for this column(when opening animations)

 

Seems similar to Bug #192389 (info also posted there).

Still crashes after "hiding" the config file.

lent@BlueUbuntu:~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig$ mv config .config

Before the crash, the program rebuilds the config  rebuilds as a shorter
config file:

lent@BlueUbuntu:~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig$ diff -c .config config
*** .config	2011-02-03 09:17:55.121334860 -0500
--- config	2011-02-17 11:10:56.429666595 -0500
***************
*** 1,7 ****

  profile = 
  
- [general]
- profile = 
- integration = true
- 
--- 1,3 ----
lent@BlueUbuntu:~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig$ 

So r_u: 's solution doesn't work. And anyway programs shouldn't crash on
bad config files. They should spit out an error messages somewhere (with
enough information) and die in a controlled way.  Even a message a log
file helps. Rant over :-)
