Stuck at "Retrieving list of available localizations for Firefox ..."

Version 4.7.0

After waiting for a long, long time, without having network activity, I pressed Control-C and got this:

Retrieving list of available localizations for Firefox ... ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 1254, in <module> bs.start() File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 281, in start fi.start() File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 308, in start self.install() File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 699, in install self.getLocalizationList() File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 381, in getLocalizationList self.locList = self.util.getSystemOutput(executionstring="w3m -dump ftp://" + mirror + self.options.package + "/releases/" + self.releaseVersion + "/linux-i686/ |grep '\. \. \.' |grep -v 'xpi'", numlines=0) File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 107, in getSystemOutput returncode = p.wait() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1123, in wait pid, sts = os.waitpid(self.pid, 0) KeyboardInterrupt

What can I do? :confused:

Info: I don't have a proxy.

hmm, well first question - did you try it again, and did the behavior repeat?

Thank you for answering my plead.

As for your question, yes, I tried several times running Ubuntuzilla. Sorry, I should have said it in the first post.

I tried in the command line: ubuntuzilla.py sudo ubuntuzilla.py sudo ubuntuzilla.py -g ubuntuzilla.py -g

Rebooted and repeated the above. Same thing happens all the time. The message after Control-C is always the same.

Prior to installing Ubuntuzilla, I installed: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 libnotify-bin

Semi-noob here, but eager to learn. :D

The same thing is happening to me. Here's what I get when I hit CTRL+C:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 1254, in <module>
    bs.start()
  File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 281, in start

    self.getLocalizationList()
  File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 381, in getLocalizationList
    self.locList = self.util.getSystemOutput(executionstring="w3m -dump ftp://" + mirror + self.options.package + "/releases/" + self.releaseVersion + "/linux-i686/ |grep '\. \. \.' |grep -v 'xpi'", numlines=0)
  File "/usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py", line 107, in getSystemOutput
    returncode = p.wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1123, in wait
    pid, sts = os.waitpid(self.pid, 0)
KeyboardInterrupt

Tried multiple times.

I get that same error. Documented in the Failed Install.. thread just below this one.

hi guys

this particular problem seems to be caused by w3m waiting indefinitely to connect to the mozilla releases server.

what happens when you run manually the following command:

w3m -dump ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.2/linux-i686/

I'm going to try one thing - i'll change the mirror list, since the releases.mozilla.org main mirror has been known to give occasional trouble.

i'm attaching an ubuntuzilla.py with the changed mirror list, give it a try and see if that's any better?

just unzip the file to somewhere, and run ``` python /path/to/ubuntuzilla.py

**UPDATE: this bugfix is now incorporated in the latest release of ubuntuzilla. No need to use this file anymore. Get the latest release from ubuntuzilla project site.**

That worked beautifully! :D

graaant said: That worked beautifully! :D

awesome! :)

don't know where the other two posters are from, but it could be that releases.mozilla.org doesn't play nice with non-us locations...

Well, if the other guys confirm the same, i think i'll just have to make a new point release with the new mirror list.

Really keen to hear how they go. You're doing a great job, thanks for the efforts! :)

@nanotube

Worked on the first try. THANK YOU.

I was running Ubuntuzilla from Portugal. Perhaps this happened because of a faulty/slow local mirror?

Keep up the good work. Best wishes.

great!

i think i'm convinced :)

i'll make a 4.7.1 release with a new mirror list in a bit.

ok, just made a fresh release on sourceforge should show up in a few minutes. :)

Hi nanotube, I'm having the same issue... I downloaded the zip file you posted earlier and extracted, but I'm not understanding what to do next. When I run the code you posted, the error message says: can't open file.. ..no such file or directory

Hi ubunoobie

please ignore the file I posted to this thread. that bugfix has already made it into the latest ubuntuzilla release.

so just go to the ubuntuzilla project site, and download the latest release and follow the instructions. :)

I got this problem today with 4.7.4 version.

ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox

Thanks for help.

Update:

I used this to make it working...

python2.5 /usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py

Thanks. :)
