Fwiw, I'm seeing this as well. Was going to raise a bug until I found this one. Me too... Damien do you need some feedback, logs or something to fix this issue? Ditto here. I have a couple of bugreports from bugbuddy to attach... Created attachment 309677 [details]
First crash report
c/o bugbuddy
Created attachment 309678 [details]
Second crash report
c/o bugbuddy... I could post heaps of these, but I won't.
do you need some more feedback for fixing this bug? I'm seeing this still in F9 but also in Fedora 10 beta. Please look at this. Cheers. is there a way I can capture this crash and provide more feedback for you? I read on the glipper mailing list glipper is not maintained anymore :( Is it possible to revert to older version of glipper? Older versions worked better and are written in C, new one is written in Python. message about glipper not being maintained anymore: http://snipurl.com/glipper [sourceforge_net] Hi, This bug has been reported in Ubuntu too, you can read it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213494 we've got some way to debugging it, but no real fix yet. Apparently inserting a delay in to the applet makes it work. My current guess is a race condition between threads reading from the history file. Thanks, James http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/index.php/archives/glipper-is-dead-long-live-glipper/ on my blog Jean-François Martin suggested using Parcellite (http://parcellite.sourceforge.net) (In reply to comment #13) > on my blog Jean-François Martin suggested using Parcellite Although I agree with Jean-François this is no fix for this big, so no need eo mention it here. Could somebody please test, if the packages from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=873927 fix the problem? TIA! It looks like it is fixed, thanks Christoph! Hold the presses, it seams that it still doesn't work :( I tried logging off and logging on, that worked ok, but now that I have rebooted the laptop I still get the error :( Look at the screenshot.

error message
error message after rebooting and logging in...
Just out of curiosity, any chance you guys are using synergy as well? I've noticed some strangeness with synergy and clipboard guff recently and was thinking it might be causing glipper to crash somehow... I'm not using synergy. K. Never mind :-) This bug reproduces in F10 still, is there a build of glipper-1.0-5 for fc10 ? No, because the patch I applied in 1.0-5 definitely does not fix the problem. I have to admit that I'm a clueless here, but someone else on #fedora-devel said he wanted to look at it. Sorry I forgot who it was. :( BTW: What is with the owner of this package? Damien, are you still around? Not sure if anyone has comeup with a workaround to at-least make this applet reload when it fails completely on startup of gnome-session. I think it will be a good to explore workaround if a fix can't be developed, however even I failed to work a workaround. But for now I found an alternative app which looks to be working fine with Gnome so far, thought I'll let others know as well. # yum install parcellite Cheers ! This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
