Description of problem: Starting orage for the first time on Fedora9, no windows ever appear, it just sits running seemingly doing nothing. I'm seeing this behavior on two different Fedora9 systems. If I start it from a terminal window, I see the following output: ######### $ orage ** Message: Orage **: Too small icon size, using static icon ** Message: Orage **: Build alarm list: Processed 0 events. Found 0 alarms of which 0 are active. (Searched 0 recurring alarms.) ######### Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): orage-4.4.2-3.fc9.i386 How reproducible: 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. run 'orage' 2. no windows ever appear Actual results: no windows ever appear Expected results: orage window with calendar appears
Odd. It sounds like orage is having trouble talking to your mcs-manager process. I assume you are in a Xfce session when you run it? (It requires xfce-mcs-manager running). If you start it, logout (saving session) and login again does it start working? I will try and duplicate here.
Yes, I'm logged into an XFCE session on both systems. I do have an xfce-mcs-manager process running (since I logged into XFCE back on Aug 15). I left orage running, logged out of XFCE, then back in, but nothing has improved or changed.
Sorry for the delay here in getting back to you. ;( Several things to try: 1. Does this happen if you create a new user and login as them? 2. Do you have a systray in one of your panels? Orage wants to appear in a systray. 3. As as last resort, Can you try doing a 'strace -o /tmp/trace.out -f orage' and attach the trace.out file? orage comes up fine for me here, so I am not sure whats going on. ;(
Oddly, it works now. Marking fix-unknown.
