ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack on startup

Asked by Frederik Himpe

When I start up gwibber, I get this output:

$ gwibber

** (gwibber:10893): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

Same when launching desktopcouch:

$ /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service

What could be wrong?

python-couchdb-0.7-1mdv2010.1
desktopcouch-0.6.4-1mdv2010.1
couchdb-bin-0.11.0-1mdv2010.1

In answer to the question, "What could be wrong?":

From the looks of that traceback, data[0].split does not contain a ':' to split on, so doesn't return a tuple/list with enough values to split out into admin_username and admin_password. This could quite possibly be a configuration issue.

As for how to fix, I am uncertain as I'm currently unable to replicate the issue.

Cheers,
Brett
