I have the same problem with Weather plugin...

You need to have Docky autostart with the '--debug' flag. Most likely you will have to edit the launcher in /usr/share/applications to do that.

Then Docky will spew a bunch of debug output to ~/.xsession-errors after you log in and it starts. Wait for the Gmail/weather to fail loading and then give us *all* of the Docky output (please trim non-Docky output).

@martincasc: ok then this bug is up to you, we need that log information.

Please repeat this log collection process (with reproducing the bug), but wait several minutes (5?) before collecting the log and posting it here.

Basically, I suspect that gmail/weather should eventually time out and when they do they will dump an error.

:/ for now I'll just delay the startup of docky by 9 seconds with a script since the problem seems to be that it can't connect be started while the wi-fi is connecting.

script:

sleep 9

same problem here. I connect on the internet through the university network, so I have to open a browser, type in my details and only then am I connected. Therefore just delaying the start of docky would not work for me. I will try and run it with --debug to see if it produced anything in my case.

I want to provide you information, can you explain more in detail how to do this, "You need to have Docky autostart with the '--debug' flag. Most likely you will have to edit the launcher in /usr/share/applications to do that." Because I do not have a clear idear of how to do this....

Fixed in rev 1701. Please test it and let me know if it does not work.

Note that while in general it should work fairly well, there might be a slight delay after your network connects before they actually are able to update gmail/weather. This should be no more than 2 minutes.

How can I get rev 1701 (I assume it is an improved version?)? I have no clue about this.

Thanks.

yup fix worked perfectly for me :D thank you!

@rave-me If you are you using the dev ppa in ubuntu just running an update in synaptic or with the update manager will install this version. If not you might want to consider adding the dev ppa :P (even though I think that this bug only affected the dev branch anyway :/)

Commenting on a bug thats over a year old (and that was fixed) will get you nowhere. There is an open bug regarding the new problem with weather gmail etc. If you want to give input (and none is needed there, we know exactly what the issue is) please comment on that bug.
