Description Takayuki Ogawa 2010-11-26 06:31:39 UTC
Description of problem:
gnome-applets crash sometimes in startup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-panel-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64
gnome-applets-2.32.0-2.fc14.x86_64
dbus-1.4.0-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
sometimes.
Japanese desktop and log on immediately after log out is more frequent.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log on to the GNOME desktop.
  
Actual results:
Various kinds of applets are not loaded.
The messages in the dialogues are "The panel encountered a problem while loading ~" and "Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?".


Expected results:
Applets are loaded correctly.

Additional info:
These messages are retrieved by the follwing command. (I translated these message because they are written in Japanese.)
% startx 2> error.log

Comment 1 Filip Pytloun 2010-12-08 12:32:55 UTC
This bug appeared on my system, too. It's very annoying.
Sometimes gnome-panel will load ok, then it won't load the applets while using "pkill gnome-panel" to reload it.
Strange is that I can still manually add the crashed applets to panel.

~/.xsession-errors is the same as Takayuki's one:

** (gnome-panel:12625): WARNING **: Failed to load applet NotificationAreaAppletFactory::NotificationArea:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.panel.applet.AppletFactory' on object at path /org/gnome/panel/applet/NotificationAreaAppletFactory

etc. depends on crashed applet.

I have no idea how to fix this bug or what to do with that :-(

A similar problem with the clock applet.

$ rpm -q gnome-panel gnome-applets dbus
gnome-panel-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64
gnome-applets-2.32.0-3.fc14.x86_64
dbus-1.4.0-2.fc14.x86_64

In my ~/.xsession-errors:
...

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.panel.applet.AppletFactory' on object at path /org/gnome/panel/applet/ClockAppletFactory

This bug is now closed (unresolved). But I use the Main Menu applet like in this bug:

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 20:21:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
