Please update to latest libsoup 2.39.2

[dino99]

i'm a midori user, and continously get this error logged, as it flooding xsession-errors:

(midori:5132): libsoup-WARNING **: (soup-uri.c:1023):soup_uri_set_path: runtime check failed: (path != NULL)

Quantal package is 2.38-1.2 , but the 2.39 serie exist and have many fixes:

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/libsoup/2.39/libsoup-2.39.2.news

so hopes to see this new release packaged asap.

feedback testing:

got rid of that error reported above:
 (midori:5132): libsoup-WARNING **: (soup-uri.c:1023):soup_uri_set_path: runtime check failed: (path != NULL)

by installing both midori-dev & webkit-team ppas packages: 1.8.1-0ubuntu2 (webkit) & 0.46-r4934 (midori)

Hope to see these packages updated too into Quantal soon.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

They've removed API so I've asked them to bump version:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678827

I've updated the packaging in lp:~robert-ancell/libsoup2.4/update-2.39.2, and will wait to see what upstream says.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Packaging branch is actually lp:~robert-ancell/libsoup/update-2.39.2

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Upstream pointed out that the removed symbols weren't in any headers, so it's safe to keep the same version.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Thanks for the upgrade pushed into quantal-proposed. Seems working fine, excepting this warning flooding xsession-errors:

warning: ignoring zlib error: incorrect data check

by the way i does not know if its related to libsoup 2.39.2 or the newer midori daily built.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Feedback:

for testing the previous zlib error, i've downgraded midori from 0.4.6 (actual daily built) to 0.43 (actual quantal package)

result:
- zlib error still exist
- and i get back the initial error: (soup-uri.c:1023):soup_uri_set_path: runtime check failed: (path != NULL)

so better to move back to midori 0.4.6 again.

[dino99 (9d9)]

the latest gnome-menus 3.5.3 update seems have fixed this zlib error (* debian/patches/forgotten-gmenu-separator-api:)
so now xsession-errors log is clean again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package libsoup2.4 - 2.39.3-0ubuntu1

This upgrade to 2.39.* made evolution 3.5.* unusable.

lots of libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_session_send_request_async: assertion `use_thread_context' failed
when displaying HTML content, freezing evolution for good.

I had to downgrade it to the last 2.38 and it's fine again.

[Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran)]

Same here, using gnome instrospection with python for webkit, it makes unusable display a webpage.

$ dpkg -l libsoup2* | grep ii

ii libsoup2.4-dev 2.39.3-0ubuntu1 i386 HTTP library implementation in C -- Development files

This error is triggered with a only a few lines of code on python:
(webkit_test.py:13732): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_session_send_request_async: assertion `use_thread_context' failed

For example:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject, WebKit

web_view = WebKit.WebView()
web_view.load_uri('http://www.google.com')

window = Gtk.Window()
window.add(web_view)
window.show_all()

Gtk.main()

webkit uses an unstable API in libsoup, which changed slightly in 2.39. you can't use stable webkit with unstable libsoup. the current unstable webkit release will work

[Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran)]

Hi Dan, I just use the default packages shipped with Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal.

Then maybe it needs a upstream bug for syncing on ubuntu a package a more recent version of webkit or backport the stable thing for make it this work. This report WebKitGTK 1.8.0 based on webkit 3.0

[dino99 (9d9)]

on Quantal i386, using webkit 1.8.1~0ubuntu2 from webkit-team ppa (precise), i can use evolution without trouble or warning/error.

[Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran)]

I can confirm the fix with gir1.2-webkit-3.0 (1.8.1-0ubuntu2~ppwkt1) from webkit-team ppa (precise).

A workaround with easy step by step:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webkit-team
sudo sed -i 's/quantal/precise/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webkit-team-ppa-quantal.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Joseph Bisch (josephbisch)]

I am having problems with gir1.2-webkit-3.0 (1.8.1-0ubuntu2~ppwkt1) from webkit-team ppa. The following is what I get.

(webkittest.py:6664): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_session_send_request_async: assertion `use_thread_context' failed

[dino99 (9d9)]

hi Joseph,

i does not have this error, with the installed packages:
- libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 (+ -common)
- libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (+ -common)
- gir1.2~webkit-3.0

they all are 1.8.1-0ubuntu2~ppwkt1 from webkit-team/precise ppa

and its with quantal i386 logged as gnome-classic.

[Joseph Bisch (josephbisch)]

dino99,

Thanks so much I had gir1.2~webkit-3.0, but not libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 or libwebkitgtk-1.0-0. Installing both of those packages fixed the problem.

I'm running quantal i386 logged in as unity.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new version is in quantal-proposed and built on amd64 and i386, it should be copied over to quantal when other archs are built later today

[dino99 (9d9)]

webkit 1.9.2 has been upgraded here on quantal i386 running midori, and it seems working for the best.

[Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran)]

Confirmed. It works great in Ubuntu with WebKit 1.9.2 536.10

[Karen Dolan (karendolan)]

Is there any way to download/build the new libsoup2.4 (2.39.2) into Pangolin, or is the update to Quantal a required prerequisite?

Shakaran's workaround just retrieves libsoup2.4 (2.38.1-1) in Pangolin.
I'm hoping to use WebKit in a semi stable Ubuntu. Webkit is requiring the libsoup2.4 (2.39.2). So, I'm just wondering if I must upgrade the Ubuntu.

Thanks!

[dani (f-launchpad-dpinol-com)]

I'd also like to build latest webkit with Ubuntu 12.4, but libsoup2.39.2 does not compile because it needs GLIB 2.33.1
Is there any workaround?

thanks
