gnome-do not starting after update

[Kayvee]

Binary package hint: gnome-do

After installing updates today (16th Dec. 2008), I had to restart my computer to apply all the updates. After restarting, my Gnome-Do was supposed to start automatically. But, it did not. I tried starting the program from Applications tree - that did not work. I tried it from the terminal using 'gnome-do' command - it did not start and I do not see any error messages either.

Thank you for your bug report. Are you using Jaunty?

[Kayvee (vkkodali)]

No. I am using Intrepid. I don't know what my gnome-do version is... the only way I know to find out version is to go to 'About' and since I cannot even start the program, I cannot use that method.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

You can find out by running "apt-cache policy gnome-do"

Just to check - is there a small, purple gnome-do icon in your notification tray? Does the summon keybinding (win+space by default) work to bring up the UI?

[Kayvee (vkkodali)]

I don't see that purple icon. And nothing happens when I press Win+Space.
I have a similar computer at home too and after installing all updates and restarting my home computer, Gnome-Do is working normally. I am not sure if this is specific to only a few types of computers... Is there a way to find out what's wrong? Like is there a command that I should give to get some error information? log? etc?

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Kayvee - Could you please try running gnome-do using a fresh user profile (or from the guest account), to see if the problem is specific to your use profile.

Thanks

Gnome-Do works now!
I tried starting Gnome-Do from a Guest account and it worked there. So, I restarted the computer and logged on to my account and noticed that Gnome-Do started automatically as it always used to do.
Sorry, it was a false alarm.
