Description Jes Sorensen 2008-03-18 19:36:43 UTC

Description of problem:
Pidgin fails to start after upgrade to FC8

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pidgin-2.4.0-1.fc8

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start pidgin
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
[jes@mini ~]$ pidgin
libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error.
  (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files


Expected results:


Additional info:
After upgrading my Mac Mini from Fedora Core 7 to Fedora Core 8, I am now
getting the above strage error message when I try to launch pidgin.

I do not run Network Manager on this box as it is assigned a static IP address
and I am unable to get that working with NM. NM itself crashes when I try to add
a new connection as a regular user. However it's beyond me why pidgin cares
about network manager in the first place.

Comment 1 Stu Tomlinson 2008-03-18 19:48:52 UTC

That error message is harmless, simply indicating that NetworkManager is not
running.

Please install the debuginfo packages (with "debuginfo-install pidgin") and get
a backtrace as described on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces

Comment 2 Jes Sorensen 2008-03-19 06:58:09 UTC

Ok, this is the weirdest I've seen.

After installing the 250MB of debuginfo packages, I am suddenly able to start
pidgin again. No idea whats changned, but I'll close this one for now, and
reopen if this happens again.

Thanks,
Jes
