Description of problem: gdesklets never connects to server when first run (timeout) and generates the error "Could not import tiling module!". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdesklets-0.36.1-5.fc11.i586.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run gdesklets from terminal 2.Wait for ~1 minute for "Connecting to daemon" to complete. 3.Timeout failure. Actual results: [jguerdat@toshiba ~]$ gdesklets Starting gdesklets-daemon... Connecting to daemon [ ### ] ==========================================================[04/29/09-12:50:39]=== Could not import tiling module! Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout! The log file might help you solving the problem. Log has no entries. Expected results: gdesklet startup normal with no errors Additional info:
The bug is caused by API incompatibility with python 2.6 which also affects other distributions. Upstream is investigating on it.
I'm not very familiar with the rpm packaging system, but in case fedora wants to temporarily fix this (as downstream): - make python 2.5 devel available during build (python-devel-2.5 ?). - restrict it to python < 2.6 until a fix is out - something like the following lines in the .spec file: %install rm -rf %{buildroot} make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} for i in `find %{buildroot} -type f`; \ do sed -i -e '1s,#!.*python.*,#!/usr/bin/python2.5,' $i; \ done (not tested on fedora/redhat)
Unfortunately the fix is useless because Fedora 11 and Rawhide have not python 2.5 available, only 2.6.
Please test http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=101963 This version is patched to address python 3.6 issue until upstream releases 0.36.2
