FretsOnFire.py crashed with ArgumentError in SetViewport()

I can confirm this bug on my 64-bit Gutsy. Frets On Fire doesn't work with Python 2.5.x.

Same here on ubuntu gutsy 64.
Il tried a « python2.4 ./Fretsonfire » in /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/game/

With the same error as the normal script :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./FretsOnFire.py", line 64, in ?
    engine = GameEngine(config)
  File "/usr/share/games/fretsonfire/game/GameEngine.py", line 166, in __init__
    self.svg = SvgContext(geometry)
  File "/usr/share/games/fretsonfire/game/Svg.py", line 78, in __init__
    self.setGeometry(geometry)
  File "/usr/share/games/fretsonfire/game/Svg.py", line 91, in setGeometry
    geometry[2], geometry[3])
  File "/usr/share/games/fretsonfire/game/DummyAmanith.py", line 42, in SetViewport
    glViewport(x, y, w, h)
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 3: exceptions.TypeError: wrong type

Exact same error over here...

Ubuntu gutsy 64. Following error using either python2.4 or 2.5.

Problem fixed in latest version of Frets on Fire (1.2.512). Please issue an upgrade.

the problem are missing song lists on the 32bit under the games/data directory. Extracting the files necessary from the tar file available at sourceforge, and adding in the location of /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/ directory, remedied the issue.

In fact, it has nothing to do with missing songs, the problem is some missing casts. a fix is available at http://<email address hidden>/msg112018.html
applying the patch makes the application start and run, but unfortunately, mostly it segfaults within the first few seconds.

This has been patched upstream and the fix is in the most recent tarball (1.2.512).
This bug will also hit debian and there are a couple of similar bugs (427115, 446713) but none in exactly the right place, I'm hoping a refresh from upstream would fix those debian bugs as well.
So, I pulled down the sid package (there don't appear to be any Ubuntu patches), used the debian/rules target to pull down the upstream tarball and remove all the non-dfsg free parts.
I dropped one debian patch that intended to fix this problem (but didn't, of course) that has been fixed and integrated upstream.
I've build an amd64 binary package that my roommate on Gutsy has installed, and I've attached the source plus signed changes here.
Attached tarball includes, dsfg-free orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz, .dsc, and source.changes.

Outside of the crash, Debian seems to be tracking the version bump as bug 454346.

Requesting Hardy package update to 1.2.512 (current stable version). Hardy still has previous version with errors which does not run in Ubuntu.

Agreed. Same issue here, will try suggested fixes, can't wait for a working install. Nice program, and cheers for any help. :)

I get problem too in 1.2.512 :

What is easy way to fix it?

Please test if the bug is still present with fretsonfire 1.2.512.dfsg-3 (in Intrepid). Thanks in advance.
