gnome-do crashes with unhandled exception

[Luis Carlos Cobo]

Gnome-do runs for a while the crashes. On reloading it, it crashes right away:

luisca@magina$ gnome-do

If I uninstall gnome-do-plugins it runs fine. I believe this may related with to the tomboy plugin (which I use a lot) since the other plugins are simple ones (session manager, terminal, screenshot).

Hm. I was sure I'd seen this error before, but googling doesn't bring up any hits that aren't this bug.

I'll poke around a bit. This seems likely to be a DBus# bug.

This is really killing me. Gnome-do integration with Tomboy notes was my productivity bread & butter. Anything I can do to help provide information or debugging to fix this?

I just upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and started having this problem. x86_64.

[Luis Carlos Cobo (luiscarlos)]

Also, it's not easily reproducible, on my other machine it used to
happen but no longer, and on the first one sometimes on reboot works
fine for a while and then no more.

Urgh. The Do in 14.04 is the quite old 0.9 release. I thought I'd
uploaded 0.95! It's also using ndesk-dbus, rather than the newer
dbus-sharp.

I'll set up a couple of PPAs with testing packages - one with a simple
rebuild against dbus-sharp, and a 0.95 one. The simple rebuild might be
able to be added to 14.04 as a stable release update, which an upgrade
to 0.95 would be more chancy.

[Randy Syring (rsyring)]

@Luis: fwiw, I can reproduce it consistently. The only time it doesn't happen is if Tomboy notes is closed or the Tomboy plugin is deactivated. My workaround was to quit Tomboy notes, start Do, deactivate Tomoboy plugin in do, and then I can use Do and Tomboy but, obviously, without the notes in Do.

@Chris: I'm happy to help tests once you get those PPAs setup.

[Randy Syring (rsyring)]

Are there any workarounds to this? Are their libraries I could manually update that might solve this issue?

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Thanks for the ping.

Sadly, Do 0.9 doesn't build in 14.04 (I really should have stayed on
top of that a bit more);
https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/ubuntu/14-04-do-testing has a
0.95.1 package that would be good to test.

[Luis Carlos Cobo (luiscarlos)]

This 0.95.1 package seems to work fine.

The testing package also works great for me, thank you so much! Can I buy you a beer or book, gittip, or something?

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