Freespeak 0.1.1 is old and unmaintained upstream. Debian has packaged the 0.3.0 version.

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

Thanks for that, still: I installed it through gnome-app-install. I have all intrepid reps in /etc/apt/sources.list. I do not get prompted for an upgrade, so it is a bug. I will now try to use version. Thanks a lot for that!

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

BTW, need a debdiff?

Cheers,

Thomas

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

Hi there Luca, I am having trouble with the install. I cannot find a single debian rep. I don't want to start adding backports. The config make make install stuff all works. I just get: intltools autdated, while in fact it is not installed in 8.10. I will try to install all the dependencies manually and see if that changes anything. If not, I will try the unstable git clone thing. I will get back to you, any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Thomas

BTW,

here is an strace.

[Luca Bruno (lucabru)]

I said it's been packaged in Debian, so you won't find it on Ubuntu.

1. Remove the old installed freespeak
2. Do a ./configure && make && make install
3. killall -HUP gconfd-2
4. Wait some seconds
5. Run freespeak as non-root

Anyway, this is not the right place to discuss about. Mail me for further information. This bug should be blocked by #303539.

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

Okido,

sorry, our messages crossed.

So one test run went fine as root:

It just hangs when closing down ...
