gtk-sharp 2.12.42 causes crash somewhere around Mono.Addins when loading plugins #34

Closed alex-ter closed 7 years ago

alex-ter commented 7 years ago

Just noticed that when working on bgo624002. Maybe our copy of Mono* DLLs is too old and needs updating.

Version 2.12.38 works ok though.

As a workaround, please do not use any newer GTK# versions available for download on the Mono website. Version 2.12.38 is still available (though not listed) for download using this direct link: https://dl.xamarin.com/GTKforWindows/Windows/gtk-sharp-2.12.38.msi.

I'm also attaching a downloaded file just in case they remove it. You need to remove the ".txt" extension and leave only the ".msi" one, that was added because GitHub does not allow me to attach an MSI or even MSI in a ZIP file.

gtk-sharp-2.12.38.msi.txt

The exception looks like this:

Added a note to the installation wiki page linking to this issue - the note should be removed when the issue is fixed: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy/Installing/Windows

I've prepared an MSI with the fixed version, which contains newer Mono.Addins: https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy/releases/tag/1.15.7-rc1.

Per my initial testing, everything works fine, however I'd be grateful for some testing help, to make sure we check it out in various environments before a full release.

As usual, it would make sense to backup your notes before testing, or using a clean VM or something similar. The only visible side effect I've noticed is that enabled/disabled add-in list got reset to default, however addin preferences themselves are untouched.

@stevedipaola, if you're up to that testing, feedback from you would be quite valuable, as you've had the same issue in #37.

sorry swamped with other things, and am not currently using tomboy after a quick initial look. Might get back to it later - but back to evernote (which has a cheap wikiwords linking trick I use) for my notes/todo for the short term, for a bit at least.

No worries, thanks for letting me know.

alex-ter commented 7 years ago

Ok, as there are no problems coming up in my tests and I haven't heard from anyone here - I'm moving on with the use of new Mono.Addins to fix the original issue.
