SparkleShare 1.2 doesn't start on openSUSE 13.1

[digulla]

I tried to SparkleShare 1.0.0 and 1.2.0 on openSUSE 13.1 without any success. When I start the executable, it just hangs.

Running it with strace, I see:

I'm using mono-core 3.0.6, gtk-sharp2 2.12.10, webkit-sharp 0.3

Any ideas?

It hangs in the very same futex call when I run mono /usr/lib64/sparkleshare/SparkleShare.exe --help

[hbons]

any output on "sparkleshare start"? and what version is the output of? (strace on mono apps doesn't give a lot of usefull info.)

[digulla]

Thanks for the quick answer.

As I said, it's SparkleShare 1.0.0 and 1.2.0.

"sparkleshare start" doesn't output anything. It just hangs. It doesn't even get to creating the SparkleShare folder.

--help prints the help and then hangs.

[digulla]

As you can see from the log above, it tries to access the log file (probably trying to create it the first time) and the config files and then hangs.

My guess is that the log file is accessed via a framework, so you probably have no idea where that's happening but you might know where in the code it tries to access /home/user/.config/sparkleshare for the first time.

[hbons]

could this have something to do with using mono 3.0?

[hbons]

still the same thing with 1.4?

[digulla]

I can't get 1.4 to compile: No notify-sharp 3.0 and no webkitgtk-sharp ...

Closing as this is quite old now and flatpak should fix this.
