I can conform this bug on Hardy.

[LordSavage (lordsavage)]

Same here on Hardy. Hope they fix it soon.

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

It seems fixed to me. Can you please tell me if I can close the bug or it still crash?

[LordSavage (lordsavage)]

It still crash here.

[DavidGN (davidgn)]

Still crashes for me.

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

I can't reproduce the crash and it's strange. I keep the bug open but can you look please at bug #175490 and check if your crash is more similar to that one?

[LordSavage (lordsavage)]

No, it is exactly this bug.

[Andrea Caminiti (nrayever)]

i can confirm this bug too. and my question is: why glipper doesn't have a transparent "frame" as the other applets have??

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

@Andrea: you should report a separate bug for this issue.

[Andrea Caminiti (nrayever)]

@Andrea Corbellini: i just reported it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+bug/194583

[DavidGN (davidgn)]

The last couple of logins to Ubuntu and no crashes for me.

[Andrea Caminiti (nrayever)]

glipper still crashing here, and i made this nice screenshot with an error window from glipper.

[Christian Roessner (christian-roessner-net)]

Hi,

having tested glipper today did not show any problems. So it seems it is fixed here.

What I did: I purged glipper, removed ~/.glipper and cleaned my package cache. After that I reinstalled glipper and added the applet. I rebooted my notebook several times, logged in and copied some text.

Kind regards
Christian

[Christian Roessner (christian-roessner-net)]

Sorry, today after several times of using glipper without having had problems, it crashed again. So the bug still exists here in hardy

[DavidGN (davidgn)]

It crashed again for me on login.

[sniffy (konwal1)]

The same for me too.

[Sam Williams (sam-williams)]

I am currently running Hardy Heron and just encountered this error. This is the first time I've seen it...
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

glipper:
  Installed: 1.0-1

[Andrea Caminiti (nrayever)]

hi guys:

i still have problems with glipper. this bug keeps appearing on my system. is there any way around to solve it??

nrayever

[michelem (michele-marcucci)]

I can confirm the crash on login on Hardy Alpha 6

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

Please, the bug is yet marked Triaged. Don't continue to post comments saying "me too". This can confound the developers who can close the bug.

A question: if you remove and re-add glipper to the panel (without restarting the session), does it crash?

[Olivier Six (olivier-six-amnesix)]

Seems to work.

This solution might work, but i think there is something else. This bug happens to me when i login to my laptop. Sometime it won't crash but, i got the same error pop-up to remove glipper. Hope this give you a better idea.

Andrea C: "A question: if you remove and re-add glipper to the panel (without restarting the session), does it crash?"

In the session I am currently running, Glipper crashed. I then re-added it to panel and after a couple of hours it has not crashed again.

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

So does it seem fixed to you?

[Olivier Six (olivier-six-amnesix)]

Yes. I restarted my system, gclipper is running al right. Thank you !

I close this bug, but feel free to reopen it if you still have problems.

[Matthias (m-kaeppler)]

Removing/re-adding the applet does NOT fix the problem for me and various other Ubuntu users. Please refer to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760161

Reopened as unresolved.

[Andrea Corbellini (andrea.corbellini)]

If you are working on this bug, please assign it to yourself.

[David Rahrer (david-rahrer)]

I"m subscribing as I'm having the same issue with Hardy and the current version of Glipper from Universe.

[unikuser (unikuser)]

My glipper is crashing the first boot. Adding some delay as mention in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+bug/213494/comments/17 solved my problem.

[Marco Boneff (neffscape)]

The bug is still there in intrepid. Please do something because I can't live without Glipper! ;)

[DavidGN (davidgn)]

Marco,

Try http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/ - actively developed and a better application IMHO.

[Benjamin Fogel (benjaminfogel)]

The same bug is still present in Karmic. What should I attach in order to help?

[boratsuckdev (boratsuckdev1)]

Glipper Crashes on Login in Lucid Lynx, giving the following error: [[The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Glipper". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?]].
Deleting and reinstalling, doesnt help as the error repeats itself.

[Leon (leonbo)]

I have the same problem again. The weird thing is it worked two weeks in the Maverick Beta but today it suddenly started throwing errors again.

[Svilen Vassilev (tarakanbg)]

Affirmative, this problem with gliiper has persisted for me for years with various versions of Ubuntu and it's still present in Maverick beta. The problem is the bug is inconsistent: crashes occur in approx 25% of boots. As a workaround even after a crash the applet can be re-added (as secind instance) to the panel and it will work without rebooting
