Terminator

Error starting terminator using options

Asked by B3rt

I installed trminator using source files on Ubuntu 8.04
This because the files offered using repository are older and do not offer option support.

When I start terminator all works, nut when I add an option value it does not start, I added to test:

  # This is a comment
  font = Fixed 10
  background_color = #444444
  foreground_color = "#FFFFFF" #Another comment. Quotes can be used for any value
  scrollback_lines = '500' #More comment. Single quotes are valid too
  cursor_blink = True
  custom_command = "echo \"foo#bar\"" #Final comment - this will work as expected.

  [keybindings]
  full_screen = <Ctrl><Shift>F11

  allow_bold=True
  enable_real_transparency=True

This results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/terminator", line 156, in <module>
    options.geometry)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/terminatorlib/terminator.py", line 108, in __init__
    stores.append (config.TerminatorConfValuestoreRC ())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/terminatorlib/config.py", line 213, in __init__
    ini.parse()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/terminatorlib/configfile.py", line 150, in parse
    self._line_ok()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/terminatorlib/configfile.py", line 174, in _line_ok
    raise ConfigSyntaxError(str(e), self)
terminatorlib.configfile.ConfigSyntaxError: * Keybinding name 'allow_bold' is unknown, line 12:
      allow_bold=True
    ------------------^

When I remove the both option lines it starts normally.

What do I wrong here?

I wish version 0.11 was relased for Hardy, or a version which supports real_transparant and options....

I suspect if you move the bold and transparency options above the [keybindings] section header then it will work fine.

As for getting 0.11 on hardy - please consider using our PPA[0], this will allow you to keep running the very latest version whatever it is :)
(getting a new release into hardy would be almost impossible, fwiw, the Ubuntu Stable Release Update policy is quite strict, and rightly so)
