Vineyard's Nautilus "property page" causes Nautilus to be unusable

[Mateusz Stachowski]

If I have both vineyard with its python-wine and python-nautilus installed I can't run Nautilus.

Starting from terminal gives this error:

(nautilus:7190): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

and starting using as root (sudo natilus) gives that error:

Initializing nautilus-dropbox 0.6.7
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
Initializing Wine integration: Property page

after that nothing happens there is no Nautilus window showing up.

There is also a huge consumption of RAM by dbus-daemon from 150 to even 360 MB also CPU usage 6%.

I've tried to run vineyard-preferences --debug=debug but that doesn't give any output and vineyard-preferences either (window doesn't show up).

I'm using vineyard from the Testing PPA.

I can't reproduce the error on my machine under Ubuntu Maverick. Can you give more details on your system? Versions of python, nautilus and pygtk specifically.

Note that there seems to be an error in Ubuntu Natty currently that keeps Vineyard from running on that system.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat [32-bit] not Natty Narwhal.

Those are the versions of packages that I have installed on my system:

- python [2.6.6-2ubuntu2]

- pyhon2.6 [2.6.6-5ubuntu1]

- nautilus [1:2.32.0-0ubuntu6~ppa160] (it's from nautilus elementary PPA)

- python-gtk2 [2.21.0-0ubuntu1] (there is no pygtk package so I think that's the one you asked for)

- python-nautilus [0.6.1-1]

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

Hmm, those are the exact same versions as I have installed on my development machine so the error can't be because of them...

What do you get if you run:

vineyard-cli --list-confs

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

Unfortunately I don't get any output in terminal when running this command.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

In GNOME System Monitor I can see two running instances of vineyard-indicator. Although there is no icon showing on the panel.

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

Two instances is a bit odd, but not seeing an icon is normal - it only shows up when you run a program.

Could you try killing those two instances of vineyard-indicator and see if vineyard-preferences wants to run then?
Also, does Nautilus run if you un-install Vineyard?

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

Killing those two instances of vineyard-indicator didn't change anything.

I can ran nautilus if vineyard and python-wine are uninstalled. Nutilus requiers restart to show up after removing those.

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

Okay, let's get down to the root of this then...

Could you post the output of this command?

python -c "from pprint import pprint; import wine; pprint(dict((k,v) for k,v in wine.common.ENV.iteritems() if 'VINEYARD' in k or 'WINE' in k or 'XDG' in k))"

Also, thanks for helping me out on this.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

This is the output of that command:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wine

Vineyard and python-wine are not installed

I'm using wine from Christoph Korn PPA (https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/ppa). It's compiled with PulseAudio support.

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

Ah, I should probably have mentioned that you should install at least python-wine for that command to work, sorry.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

I don't get anything in terminal (python-wine installed).

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

I still can't figure out what causing this error, but since I've updated the packages for both python-wine and vineyard, could you try and see if it works now?
