Running on NetBSD 6.1 i386 compiled from pkgsrc-current.

Window manager: xfce4 4.6.1

Video card: ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TR (AGP) 16MB

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When attempting to launch 'awn-settings', I get this error,

** (process:393): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (process:393): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

ImportError: /usr/pkg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/desktopagnostic/desktopagnostic.so: Undefined PLT symbol "pydesktopagnostic_register_classes" (symnum = 4)

I'm not certain how to proceed. There is no core file being generated.

Thanks in advance,

Is this a dead project? I've been hoping to get some assistance with this issue.

Hi Steven,

Yes, the project is almost dead at the moment.
Fact is that we have to make awn compatible with the last vala version.
Some of us started working on it but apparently time is hard to find.

As far as I remember this was caused by an obsolete python and libdesktop-agnostic -related package. I think it is fixed in recent testing PPA packages. Thus closing as fixed. Feel free to reopen if this is not the case.

Thanks!
