Created attachment 326841 [details] crash dump from Gnome Description of problem: ggl-gtk crash when starts Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.10.3-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "ggl-gtk" from shell Actual results: #ggl-gtk Not a regular file: / 4dfe624e-088f-fee9-05b474fb-38f16ccd is dumped Expected results: program starts and run successfully Additional info:
I can confirm this with both ggl-gtk and ggl-qt.
It because google gadgets needs to access some dbus services, like hal and network manager. But a security policy prevents it from accessing those resource. 0.10.3 assumes the access is always success, and will crash if it fails. 0.10.4 fixed this issue by checking the access result and do nothing if it fails. However, many gadgets relies on this feature to get system information, such as battery meter, wireless monitor etc. The best way to fix this issue is to grant access right to google gadgets.
I just upgrade and confirm google gadget working again. Thanks for the help.
Any possibility of getting an updated build in testing? This also affects x86_64 F10.

Bizarre; I'm retesting 0.10.3-2 and while I'm getting errors, it does not crash, even after I removed ~/.google/gadgets and starting from scratch: $ ggl-gtk Not a regular file: / Not a regular file: / Not a regular file: / No permission to read file. No permission to access device status. No permission to access device status. No permissions to access D-Bus. James, any specific details on which dbus services are required, so I can reassign this bug to the correct component?

I tested the 0.10.3-2 as well and it indeed does not crash anymore.
GGL requires HAL, network manager and dbus itself. Upgrading to 0.10.4 is highly recommended, because it supports some new gadgets, like GMail, YouTube and Google Docs.
