Shell output when running gphotoframe in the terminal

media@henderson:~$ gphotoframe 
The program 'gphotoframe' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 135 error_code 1 request_code 137 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I found this problem and answer with LTSP and another python program:

I then tried running using the variable discussed and got back the following:

Can you refer to issue #74?

Ok, I took a look at issue #74. What I found is that with python-clutter-gtk 
uninstalled that gphotoframe will start on the LTSP client.

With it reinstalled and the gconf key that you mentioned in #74 set I cannot 
start it on the LTSP client.

I have to wonder what is different as I can always start it on the server.

I think this problem is due to clutter libs or OpenGL libs on Ubuntu, not to 
gphotoframe.

Did you try it?

Did the gphotoframe show some error messages?

Hi!

I did not try the fix in 
http://code.google.com/p/gphotoframe/issues/detail?id=74#c3
It had dependency problems and wanted to uninstall ubuntu-desktop a major 
package, so I aborted the install.

The other than the error messages in the terminal that I posted before, I found 
in the messages log these:

May 23 13:36:35 henderson kernel: [22638.206889] gphotoframe[23713]: segfault 
at 6f687481 ip 02f34860 sp bfb17038 error 4 in

Thank you for your report.
But, I can not reproduce the problem.

I added a gconf key ui/disabel_clutter.
Could you try to disable clutter library support with gconf?

  gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gphotoframe/ui/disable_clutter true
