when starting gnome-pomodoro

I get error: (gnome-pomodoro:5013): WARNING **: timer.vala:391: Could not restore time

Nothing on gnome-shell, no window ....

any suggestions?

CU, Bernd

So far so good.

You have to restart gnome-shell to load the pomodoro extension: hit Alt + F2, type "r".

solettitiger commented 10 years ago

Hello, Restarted computer, but all the same. Alt F2 opens the search window for installed programs.

Have you installed version from gnome-3.10 branch?

solettitiger commented 10 years ago

Yes, I did. Shouldn't I?

You should. That's curious because I've got feedback that it works on Ubuntu 14.04...

Remove directory .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pomodoro@arun.codito.in if there is one.

If you have time to provide more info:

  1. Please run "gnome-shell --replace" in terminal. Keep in mind that closing that terminal window will also close gnome-shell, and it will be unusable.
  2. You should see errors relevant to Pomodoro, if not - try reenabling or installing the extension
  3. To close that terminal window you will need to logout or restart

Hi again,

thank you fo being so kind and trying to get it running.

Well there was no such a directory - well I now made the .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ directory ... but there is the /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pomodoro@arun.codito.in

When I run gnome-shell --replace I get an error. Running it as root destroys the current gnome session - well not all of it, but there is at last the pomodoro - well I connot click on it and it's with 00:00.

After reboot the same issues ...

Trying to start gnome-pomodoro as root - no the same error with timer.vala:391: Could not restore time ...

Looking into the directory you mentioned: some JavaScript-Files and a JSON-file and the sound file.

Next step: deleting the files in /usr/share/ ... and reinstalling gnome-pomodoro

then trying: gnome-pomodoro

\ (gnome-pomodoro:10044): WARNING **: timer.vala:391: Could not restore time

​mh ... sorry not working :-(

CU, Bernd​

Not working for me on Ubuntu 14.04 either, using stock GNOME 3.10 (it always worked great previously!) I downloaded your 3.10 version from GitHub and followed the instructions in the README file, but when I tried to install the extra required packages I got:

"The following packages have unmet dependencies. libclutter-gtk-1.0-dev : Depends: libclutter-1.0-dev (>= 1.13.10) but it is not going to be installed"

kamilprusko commented 10 years ago

Thanks for the report. I've tried installing it on stock Ubuntu 14.04 just two weeks ago, it went fine then.

I don't have access to Ubuntu now, forgive me if the following won't work:

Try skipping libclutter-gtk-1.0-dev.

If there will be another package missing try installing it with specified version like sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0=3.8.4-0ubuntu3 Version numbers you will find at http://packages.ubuntu.com/

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hi, thanks for the message. I'll try what you suggest :)

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hi again Kamil, I tried skipping libclutter-gtk-1.0-dev as you suggested, and after that installation works fine. When I run it in Terminal, I get:

ian@COOLERMASTER:~$ gnome-pomodoro

\ (gnome-pomodoro:29050): CRITICAL **: main.vala:65: Unable to acquire bus name 'org.gnome.Pomodoro' ian@COOLERMASTER:~$

... but the application still seems to be working just fine :)

Best,

sojusnik commented 10 years ago

Is there a user friendly way of installing this wonderful application on Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome 3.10 on its way? Maybe with a Launchpad PPA?

All the best!

kamilprusko commented 10 years ago

Hi @sojusnik,

Yes, packages for Ubuntu are now available here :)

I've considered Launchpad, but for me (developer) it's easier to maintain packages through Open Build Service. I may be wrong, but OBS also seems more straightforward when updating package for older Ubuntu releases.

Best, Kamil

sojusnik commented 10 years ago

Hi Kamil,

OBS seems to work fine, just installed the latest pomodoro version with it. Thank you very much for providing such an easy way to stay up to date!

Bless!
