Description Tom Horsley 2010-09-05 13:13:06 UTC
Description of problem:

After recent updates the mini command line and system monitor applets I
previously added to the panel would not start at login. I let the system
remove them, then tried to add them back to the panel, but nothing happens
when I click the "Add" button after selecting an applet.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-panel-2.31.90-1.fc14.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
no applets

Expected results:
applets

Comment 1 Tom Horsley 2010-09-05 13:17:18 UTC
I've just experimented some more, and this may be isolated to just the
mini command line applet. I was able to add the system monitor back to
the panel.

Comment 2 Tom Horsley 2010-09-05 13:26:51 UTC
The gnome-applets rpm on my system is:

gnome-applets-2.31.91-1.fc14.x86_64

I don't know how any of this stuff actually fits together, but if I
run /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet in a terminal, I get a whole
panel full of multiple instances of mini command lines, and this
on the terminal output:

[tom@zooty bin]$ /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet 

(mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times

Comment 4 Jonathan Kamens 2010-09-19 09:05:41 UTC
The reason why you got a panel full of multiple instances of mini-commander is because you attempted to add multiple mini-commanders to the panel while encountering the bug, and those were all correctly recorded in your configuration, so when you finally ran the applet by hand, it found and added all of the ones you added. So that's not actually part of the bug, I don't think.

I can confirm the same with gnome-applets-2.31.91-1.fc14.i686.

Comment 6 Jonathan Kamens 2010-10-17 19:22:32 UTC
Is anybody looking at this? It would be sort of sucky to ship F14 with this regression.

Comment 7 Jeremy Eder 2010-10-29 19:57:08 UTC
Confirmed still an issue on F14-RC

gnome-applets-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64

Comment 8 Mike 2010-11-04 00:40:54 UTC
Confirmed an issue with F14 Release.

gnome-applets-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64

Comment 9 polemon 2010-11-04 04:22:53 UTC
I have the same issue as well.

I need to do a

    /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet &
    disown

in order to make the mini commander appear in the panel.

Don't re-add it to the panel, when it doesn't appear, simply run the commands in a terminal and see if it appears then.

Comment 10 H.-P. Sorge 2010-11-04 11:07:15 UTC
Same over here.

1.  After having repeated obove steps several times gnome-applet crashed.

2.  To add the mini-commander  I needed two steps:
     1- right MC, add to panel, select mni-commander, add 
     2- run /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet & 
        disown

Comment 12 Jeff Gustafson 2010-11-05 01:07:34 UTC
I am having the same problem.
Any word of a fix?

Comment 13 jan.jeseter 2010-11-05 22:17:07 UTC
Hi, 
I have the same problem with mini-commander after install F14. 
In F13 it was all OK.
Please, I need mini-commander. This is very, very useful applet for me.
I used it every day a fifty times.

Please save this applet to future! (I think Fedora is last distribution where mini-commander occurred.)

Comment 14 Rodolfo Alcazar 2010-11-07 08:00:39 UTC
Confirmed, same here. Thanks for the workaround, but it would be nice if fixed.

Comment 15 Andy Bakun 2010-11-09 08:19:20 UTC
Here's a patch that seems to fix it.  It appears to be a really odd oversight with the build process.

Created attachment 459029 [details]
patch to fix mini commander from being added to the panel in F14

I put this patch inline in a comment, but it's kind of hard to read because of the line wrapping and the long path name.

Comment 17 H.-P. Sorge 2010-11-09 14:05:52 UTC
Good job - thank you.

btw, Carlos seems to be "all over" the place :-)

The bug has just been fixed upstream, could someone with commit rights please add it to the Fedora package?

Comment 19 jan.jeseter 2010-11-16 11:29:33 UTC
Yes, very good job.
Thank you very much.
JJ  :-)

Comment 20 jan.jeseter 2010-11-17 09:26:58 UTC
Hi,
My enjoyment was previously.
Now I have problem with environment in mini-commander applet.
In .bash_profile I have PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH. Mini-commander doesn't accept this PATH (/usr/local/bin is OK; I had to make links to /usr/local/bin from $HOME/bin - it isn't practical). In F13 was all OK.
Thanks 
JJ
PS: Ought I set up new bug?

Comment 21 Julian Sikorski 2010-11-17 09:34:10 UTC
Yes, that is most likely an orthogonal issue. I would also recommend to open the bug at Gnome BZ directly given how long it takes to have any reaction from maintainers here even when fix is out there /end sarcasm.

I can confirm:
gnome-applets-2.32.0-2.fc14 on Fedora 14 testing works as expected

Comment 27 H.-P. Sorge 2010-11-19 16:37:46 UTC
-- Sorry, not quite.

$HOME/bin is included in PATH, 
however the $HOME/bin is not being searched.

Commands have to be prefixed with "bin/".

gnome-applets-2.32.0-2.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
