Unable to connect to listed nearby hosts

[Mathieu Marquer]

Binary package hint: vinagre

When opening Vinagre, I see the nearby hosts on a list. But double-clicking on them doesn't connect to them anymore. There is also no right click possibility on those hosts (not sure whether it was available before).

Hi, I don't have this issue here. Have you installed a modified version of vinagre? Could you try with 2.25.92 as it's the latest release at Jaunty?

[Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun)]

Bug still here with vinagre 2.25.92-0ubuntu1 . The remote host I'm trying to connect to is running Ubuntu 8.04.2.

I don't know why launchpad says that two files have been modified since I didn't use any unofficial package for vinagre (but it seems that launchpad says that for every bug I report..)

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Hi. Could you run vinagre in a terminal:
vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug

and then double click in a nearby host.

Please, paste here any output in the terminal window.

There's no popup menu when right-click on nearby hosts. It exists only in saved bookmarked host.

[Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun)]

It gives if I click once on the host name:

$ vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug

(vinagre:26312): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

And if I double click on the host name:

$ vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug

(vinagre:26216): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

(vinagre:26216): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

** (vinagre:26216): CRITICAL **: fav_panel_activated: assertion `vinagre_bookmarks_entry_get_node (entry) == VINAGRE_BOOKMARKS_ENTRY_NODE_CONN' failed

OK. I need a backtrace.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash on how to get debug packages and then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace on how to get the backtrace.

Before run vinagre under gdb, execute at the same terminal:
export G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals

[Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun)]

Backtrace attached. The SIGTRAP occurs after one click on the nearby host name.

[Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun)]

Fixed for me in vinagre 2.26.0-0ubuntu1, can anyone confirm ?

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

Yes, fixed for me too

[Mathieu Marquer (slasher-fun)]

So marking it as fixed

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

It seems the problem is present also in karmik (vinagre 2.27.5)

[Florian Schweikert (kelvan)]

confirm, problem exists also with my karmic i386 installation.

[Florian Schweikert (kelvan)]

I've vinagre 2.27.90 installed

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

Can somebody mark it as Confirmed ?

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

This is fixed in 2.27.92

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

I'm using vinagre 2.27.92-0ubuntu1 but the problem persists

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Which is the address shown in the tooltip when you move the mouse over a name in nearby hosts?

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

host: vnc://192.168.1.99

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

@miky91: from a terminal:

1) try 'ping 192.168.1.99'
2) try 'telnet 192.168.1.99 5900'
3) try vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug 192.168.1.99

paste here output of commands above.

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

I can connect to the remote machine (using "Connect" button or "Bookmarks" -> "Name-of-the-machine"), but I cannot do it by using the sidebar.

By sidebar you mean bookmarks or nearby hosts?

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

By sidebar I mean the bar on the left of the window where are listed the bookmars and the nearby hosts

Ok, will do my last try:

1) run vinagre from a terminal:
vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug

2) double-click in the nearby host that you're complaining
3) paste here the output from the terminal
