Galaxium 0.7.2 Chat Window is empty/blank #199

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
After installing the latest Galaxium Version from the Ubuntu Repository
(8.04), the Chat Window isn't shown anymore.

It is a empty window with nothing inside, practically blank, just one color.
No Interaction nothing.
I attached a picture, so that you can imagine what i'm talking about

I installed it today through the Ubuntu Repository on a Hardy Heron machine

Well that makes no sense, there is barely anything actually being executed on 
that
method. Paul, why are line numbers not showing again in Deb releases? We need 
those
line numbers for ALL release IMO until 1.0 :P

i don't understand what you mean.
Is it a general problem of galaium or is it just me with this error?

So far you are the only person who has reported this problem. I can open chat 
windows
in all protocol types right now in SVN. I have also updated my regular chat 
client
version to 0.7.2 and am able to chat on MSN there.

The error is saying that it is finding a NULL object and trying to use it. This 
is in
the initialization of the MSN chat widget. Which does not do much. It passes on 
most
of its tasks to the basic chat widget implementation.

There are SOME tasks performed there, like printing out history etc, and it 
could be
there that its crashing, unfortunately, the line numbers are missing from your 
debug
information so I cannot tell what line this is happening on.

Paul needs to keep debugging details in the releases because galaxium is so new.

Try doing a clear of your config folder:

# rm ~/.config/Galaxium -rf

or if you run Galaxium from MonoDevelop:

# rm ~/.config/GalaxiumDebug -rf

The debug info is present in the debs, but the startup script doesn't run mono 
with
the debug flag by default. To get the more detailed output you'll need to run
galaxium with:

MONO_OPTIONS="--debug" galaxium

after running it with MONO_OPTIONS="--debug" galaxium, i get this error message:

2008/06/24 09:32:41 [ERROR] [ContainerWindow.AddConversation] Error 
initializing chat
widget
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at Galaxium.Protocol.Msn.GtkGui.MsnChatWidget.Initialize () [0x00000] 
  at Galaxium.Client.GtkGui.ContainerWindow.AddConversation (IConversation
conversation) [0x00000]

After deletimng the config folder, it worked!
Then i disabled the logging and it wasn't working again, so i enabled logging, 
closed
galaxium, restarted galaxium and it worked.

SO the Problem must be somewhere with the conversation logging

Great troubleshooting. so the window doesn't show up when the logging is turned 
off?

This is fixed. It will be resolved in 0.7.3 release. Just going to apply the 
changes
(sort of) into 0.8 svn as well.
