Closed depau closed 12 years ago

depau commented 13 years ago

I use gnome-pie form a previous version. I choosed Unity theme. Now i upgraded gnome-pie and I'm not able to change the theme, because gnome-pie crashes. Terminal output: *> [19:43:49:112269 MESSAGE] Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Hey Davide,

you may try to reset all options in gnome-pie. To do this type in a terminal:

gnome-pie --reset

But of course this is a bug. Are you using 0.2 now? This looks like a bug which should be fixed. If the above command does not do the trick, we'll have to investigate further...

Greetings, Simon

Hi,

I'll try it, but is there any way to back up the pies first? I don't want to lose all my customized commands... Where can I get gnome-pie's version? I tried this...

$ gnome-pie -V

[16:51:32:065538 MESSAGE] Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [16:51:32:130204 WARNING] Opzione -V sconosciuta

is camberra-gtk-module very important? do I have to install it?

Schneegans commented 13 years ago

Hey,

all settings of Gnome-Pie are stored in ~/.config/gnome-pie/. (this is a hidden directory in your home folder) There are two files storing the settings --- pies.conf saves your pie configuration, gnome-pie.conf your other settings. The command gnome-pie --reset actually deletes these two files. You can move them somewhere else, or check the content of pies.conf in order to fix the error.

But I'm not absolutely sure whether this will solve your problem! But I hope so... just give it a try!

Greetings, Simon

[edit]

Concerning canberra-gtk-module --- I never heard of it. I think it's related to your Gtk configuration... this is probably printed in the terminal for each gtk-application you launch?

i don't have canberra-gtk-module anymore, but i still can't change the theme; i can change it only editing the settings file, but i have to restart it before seeing changes.

the output is the same... there are some italian words: "Argomento non valido" means "not valid argument" and Annullato means "canceled".

I hope you solve this issue... if you need more information please ask... this is gnome-pie's version, i found it with synaptic: 0.2-2ppa0~oneiric0

I have really no idea what's going on here... I just installed the very same version of Gnome-Pie, took your config files --- everything works as supposed!

Did you download and use the source code of Gnome-Pie once upon a time? Did you install some other themes? What folders are in /usr/share/gnome-pie/themes? Is there a folder in /usr/local/share/gnome-pie?

What icon theme are you using? Can you please try another and check whether this changes something?

As you can see: I have no idea whats'o'ever :D But hopefully we'll get it nailed down...

homeofpoe commented 12 years ago

I am using Ubuntu 11.10. I just installed gnome-pie from Launchpad, and receive a similar error;

GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during 'Invalid argument': pthread_setspecific. Aborting.

This happened after installing gnome-pie, starting it for the first time, and going to preferences to change the theme. It does not matter which theme I try to change gnome-pie to. I have tried different icon themes for my desktop (Faenza, Faenza-Ambiance, ubuntu-mono-dark, and 'Gnome (default)'). No difference.

Package: gnome-pie Architecture: i386 Version: 0.3-2ppa0~oneiric0

depau commented 12 years ago

i tried both faenza and ubuntu-mono-dark, but it still crashes... i use oneiric i386; i think that the problem is the themes' liststore: i have many problems with it when i program python, but maybe it's the same with C.

i'll try to downgrade it to the previous version: i don't need the new turbo mode

Schneegans commented 12 years ago

I just discovered that a friend of mine suffers from exactly the same issue. So fortunately I'll be able to check what's going on at his computer!

Stay tuned!

Schneegans commented 12 years ago

I tested it today at his computer. After some research we discovered the problem:

He's got a weird version of GLib (2.31.3+git20111126.4ce5a11d-0ubuntu1~11.10~ricotz0)! He installed some software from ricotz' testing PPA (https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing) and obviously there are binary conflicts in this version. There were some other issues he suffered from, which may be caused by the same problem: For instance applications often crashed when he opened folders in a file-select-dialog!

We then purged this PPA (which is not easy at all) and now Gnome-Pie runs perfectly.

Which version of libglib2.0-0 do you have installed? Mine is 2.30.0-0ubuntu4.

homeofpoe commented 12 years ago

Package: libglib2.0-0 Source: glib2.0 Version: 2.31.0-0ubuntu1~oneiric1

Tested again to be sure, and I'm still having the crash.

Schneegans commented 12 years ago

From where do you have this version?

It seems to come from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but for some reason it's not in there anymore...

depau commented 12 years ago

2.31.0-0ubuntu1~oneiric1 it is from the "Ubuntu Desktop Team ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com" it's not from a ppa... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20762508/syn1.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20762508/syn2.png

i have gnome 3 ppa, but i need it to upgrade epiphany-browser... maybe i can force the downgrade with synaptic...

edit: if i try to downgrade it i need to remove lots of packages, including unity; it's needed from ubuntu-desktop too, so it's the original one.

offtopic: is the slider in your website's homepage open source? i need something like it for bash!karaoke's website, it needs a more beautiful look...

Schneegans commented 12 years ago

OnTopic:

Well, I don't know much about the magic of linking executables to shared objects, but as far as I can tell there are some downwards incompatibilities...

Gnome-Pie from the PPA is linked against libglib 2.30 (done by launchpad). I have libglib 2.30 installed and everything works as supposed. Both of you have libglib 2.31 and it does not work. Is it a bug Glib then?

OffTopic:

Yes it is. I modified the wordpress theme Minimatica (http://www.onedesigns.com/wordpress-themes/minimatica-free-wordpress-theme) to suit my needs. And this theme

is released under GPL. Feel free and encouraged to use, modify and redistribute it however you like.

depau commented 12 years ago

i don't know... maybe it is... you should contact glib's team...

offtopic: WOW! it's perfect! thanks!!

Schneegans commented 12 years ago

Does this problem still persist for you? Someone told me, that this problem magically disappeared for him... maybe due to an software-update...?

homeofpoe commented 12 years ago

I don't seem to have this problem anymore, actually! I'm not sure what change fixed things, but it's all better now!

depau commented 12 years ago

No, it works very well now. The only problem I have is that the indicator is now a simple tray icon (with a light blue background) and the settings dialog doesn't use anymore GTK3 black toolbars... But I can change the theme without any problem...

Schneegans commented 12 years ago

The change of the indicator icon is a feature, not a bug --- Gnome-Pie used to use two different icons, one for the application and one for the tray. But this was not as good as I thought, since the look of those icons should depend on the current icon theme. In other desktop environments (E.g. Gnome-Shell) the indicators are not supposed to be monochrome...

But what's about your toolbar issue? On Oneiric (Your distro, isn't it?) the settings dialog should use GTK3...

depau commented 12 years ago

Now I use Precise, not Oneiric. If you put something like this for the toolbar (i write python code, I don't know C) if platform.dist()[1] == "oneiric":

method to use gtk3 toolbar

try to detect the version (e.g. 12.04) and use bigger than or equal to. But someone said that you can use GTK3 toolbar anyway, even if you are using GTK2... For the icon, look at Nuvola Player's code: Nuvola Player detects if Sound menu is present. If not, it detects if you are using Unity or an indicator applet, and shows an indicator. If you are using GNOME Shell, it detects if you installed a music extension. Else it shows a tray icon.
