grsync does not start - GTK critical error

[Felix]

Binary package hint: grsync

Everytime i start grsync on a kubuntu karmic alpha 4 amd 64 machine it fails with this error. Sometimes the error is repeated a few times. Possibly as many times as profiles exist.

Deleting my config resukts in 1 error line. Using my old config the error appears 4 times. (4 profiles, default + 3 custom)

gtk_combo_box_append_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (combo_box->priv->model)' failed

gtk 0.9.1.-1

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

Same problem here.
I guess this is related to glade (judging from the results after googling the error) and that there are other applications showing the same behaviour. Can anyone confirm that?

[Tero Konnola (weetabix)]

I get the same error. Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-9, 64 bit (all updates, 6.9.09).
I don't have any config files (fresh install).
(grsync:7988): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_combo_box_append_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (combo_box->priv->model)' failed

[Christof Löwe (christof-loewe)]

Exactly the same here. Kubuntu and Ubuntu Karmic amd64, Kernel 2.6.31-9.

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

Same here

[Alessandro Crismani (alessandro-crismani)]

Same for me

[Felix (apoapo)]

changing to confirmed due to the response.

[nipponappi (nipponappi)]

also for me

[macstevejb (macstevejb)]

I too am getting exactly the same error when attempting to open grsync.

Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6

[menthurae (menthurae)]

Same problem here:

(grsync:17078): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_combo_box_append_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (combo_box->priv->model)' failed

System info:

Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) Alpha 6 (AMD64/x64)
Linux 2.6.31-10-generic

Fresh install of grsync and everything is fully updated.

[robin.nightingale (hack-cronopios)]

same with me:

(grsync:10451): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_combo_box_append_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (combo_box->priv->model)' failed

System info:
Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) Alpha 6 (AMD64/x64)
Linux 2.6.31-10-generic

A fresh install DOESENT help me

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

I've contacted the author about this. He hasn't gotten back to me yet, but I pointed him to this bug report, so hopefully he'll show up here.

[bigal (tubebender)]

I have the latest Karmic updates and Grsync won't even start and there's no error to report

[menthurae (menthurae)]

bigal- are you running it via terminal? Doing so will show any error messages. launching via a shortcut will give the behaviour you describe.

[bingo (taylansoylu-gmail)]

same problem here :(

[Tony Mugan (tmugan)]

Same here for me on Karmic beta with all latest updates.

[Tony Mugan (tmugan)]

Confirmed that replacing grsync.glade with the version posted at the link above works under Karmic Beta

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

This will resolve this bug.

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

You shouldn't update the upstream file directly in the debdif. The good way to do it is to either patch it, or put it in the debian directory and install it in the rules file.

Please put the bug back to complete when the debdiff is updated.

Thanks,
Fabrice.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Debdiff updated for seperate patch for glade.xml, and also to skip translating the patch itself as this causes a build issue with the wildcard matching.

[KrazyPenguin (krazypenguin)]

The fix doesn't work for me :-(

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Please keep discussion of work arounds etc to the forums, this bug is being addressed.

[unggnu (unggnu)]

If it is addressed why is the bug set to Wishlist and not to Triaged and has no one assigned?

[KrazyPenguin (krazypenguin)]

I don't know why the fix doesn't work , but I installed version 0.9.2 and would like to confirm that this version does work. ;-) When doing the command "make install", it has to be installed using "sudo".
(happy, happy)

So to fix this bug, Karmix needs to simply create a new deb in the repositories gsync-0.9.2.

Then it can be closed.

Thanks.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

This bug is being addressed, it is just waiting for a universe sponsor to approve.

KrazyPenguin - We dont just pull in new versions this late in the cycle, as that is more than a fix to just this bug, and could cause regressions.

Again, no more comments are needed on this specific bug besides review, the forums are the best place to talk about work arounds etc.

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

this is a cleaner diff of the glade file. You could perhaps use that as a basis for the patch.

[KrazyPenguin (krazypenguin)]

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Grsync isn't included in Karmic by default, so why couldn't a new version be introduced??
I'm not a programmer, just tested bugs and making some observations. Are you saying that all the packages in the repos are also frozen?? If so I didn't realize that all the packages that don't come with Karmic are frozen as well.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Marking incomplete until I can incorporate that diff into a new build, and create a ppa for testing.

Upstream has updated package for 0.9-2, we need to sync this

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Sync request sent: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grsync/+bug/446917. I'll close this bug report when sync happen.

Thanks for your contribution!

Same here still using 9.10 beta:

Linux nautiloos 2.6.31-12-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 7 18:42:46 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

getting the following error:

[Fabus (fabian-gebert-hh)]

I can confirm this has been fixed in grsync 0.9.2 (which I've just compiled using checkinstall)

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

Version 0.9.2 has not been sync yet, so until then, the package in Karmic will fail.

As soon as it will be synced, I will update this bug report.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Version 0.9.2 has been synced from Debian.
This bug report can then be closed
