[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I dont seem to have this issuse after re-installing kxdocker.

[John Anderson (john-e-anderson)]

I am seeing this bug, installed Edgy beta and it won't start. it's a pretty similar error.

[Steveire (steveire)]

I get the same output when I run kxdocker from the terminal. I'm using edgy beta too.

[Lorenzo J. Lucchini (ljl)]

I can confirm this. It still happens after the recommended package "kxdocker-data" is installed.

[Lorenzo J. Lucchini (ljl)]

I do still have the issue, even after reinstalling after a purge.

[Hagbarddenstore (hagbarddenstore)]

It's broken for me too. Think I'm gonna make a new package for it.

[Brian Pitts (bpitts)]

It doesn't crash for me, but no icon appears in kicker's tray and the dock itself never appears.

dpkg --purge kxdocker-data
dpkg --purge kxdocker
apt-get install kxdocker kxdocker-data
kxdocker

[Paulo (pauloerweber)]

We had two bugs heres.
1- There are missing config files: /usr/share/apps/kxdocker/kxdocker_conf_default.xml and /usr/share/apps/kxdocker/kxdocker_conf.xml. Actually the files exist, but they are empty! :|
2- The package kxdocker-data don't contain all the plugins necessary to kxdocker work. So even if the config files of a older version kxdocker will not load the plugins, like Brian said it above.
All this problems are caused by the packaging. Some one send a email to the package maintainer?

[wouf (woufmail)]

Same bug here.
Kubuntu Edgy Eft :

[Viegas (viegas-dev)]

I also have the same error after upgrading from dapper to edgy... kxdocker worked fine before.
Anyone have a workarround instead of compiling from source a new package?
Basically it seams we're just missing a bunch of files. Can't we get them somewhere?

[Viegas (viegas-dev)]

One more thing... this happens in the final version of edgy and not just on the beta.

[Viegas (viegas-dev)]

Been trying to set it up by hand without breaking the future upgrade process but is simply too much to copy and build.
Can we get an estimated time to release an update of the package?
I've managed to get it running but with the configurator, and a minimal plugins... not so fancy looking like it's supposed to and have to configure all by hand on the XML file! :-(

[Vítor E. Silva Souza (vitorsouza)]

There is a workaround to continue using kxdocker until they fix it, although in an much earlier version: installing DEB packages from Debian Testing repository.

See: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=294418

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

Here' s a SRU for this bug #74862
It doesn't fix the -data package though

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

And here's a fix for feisty

[Viegas (viegas-dev)]

Don't understand how the debdiff is suposed to be used in order to fix the problem.
Can anybody help?
Also, this does not solve the problem with the missing plugins and other resources like the configurator, right?
I have build a sample and working xml configuration file witch apparently is the only thing this patch does right? Please give instructions on how to use this and if this is the fix or just a temp workarround.
5 months have passed, when is an updated package be released? The kxdocker is fine the only problem is the package, please repackage and distribute in the apt-get stream.

[elakug (elakug)]

this is still not working. who's assigned to this bug?
its a great app. i really miss it.

plerk

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

kxdocker.debdiff only fixes the xml files. It could be better to report a new bug for kxdocker-package about the other issue.

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

This will be fixed in edgy when/if sru request bug #74862 is accepted.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This is a problem in feisty as well

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

Fixed kxdocker package (1.1.4a-0ubuntu2.1~proposed1) is now in edgy proposed, please test it and if it works add a comment to SRU request bug #74862

Thank you.

[eppy 1 (choppy121212)]

Can you fix the kxdocker in Feisty (now since released) as well?

I've seen Bug 105423 and Bug 89747 as dupes as this but for Feisty.

[Ateo (amoeba-x)]

I downloaded kxdocker-resources, just like it said, and it didn't install anything after installing it.

The tarball contains a plugin, theme and sound folder. The plugin folder has the same content found in kxdocker-data. In other words, it does not supply the libs it's looking for.

this appears to be an upstream bug. kxdocker (this version) should be yanked from the repositories until resolved.

Additionally, kxdocker appears dead. As of April 23, 2007, the project is now XQDE...

http://www.xiaprojects.com/www/prodotti/kxdocker/main.php?action=download

I have found that version kxdocker_0.35-2.2+b1_i386.deb of kxdocker works adequately.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

Thank you for the extended effort in attempting to resolve this issue. My apologies that the patch has not recieved revew. I've unassigned it, and set "Confirmed" instead of "In Progress", just because there hasn't been progress in a while, and at this point it needs to be fixed in gutsy before it can be fixed in feisty or edgy. I've added the patch tag in case someone else wants to respin the debdiff for gutsy. I've unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors, as the current debdiffs cannot be uploaded until it is fixed in the current development version (and may need adjustment, given the time, and possible changes in policy). Please resubscribe when a gutsy debdiff is generated to request sponsorship of the upload.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I took this to build in patch for feisty.
I think it would be a good idea to remove this from gutsy and replace with new package XQDE. I will file a bug on it and if someone want sto do it go for it.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

After looking it over i have decided to not fix this for feisty as the fix would have to be in gutsy first. there have been no upstream fixes since edgy. Please see bug #119702 for more info. Once its replaced in gutsy I will see about asking if i can backport it to feisty but one step at a time.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Nobody tested the -proposed upload and gave feedback here for more than 10 months, and I guess nobody cares about edgy universe any more, so I removed the edgy-proposed package.
