Could you try adding this ppa https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/daily and installing contractor from there?

[hexa- (mweinelt-deactivatedaccount)]

Installation contractor from there works, but it does not seem to be related to eidete crashing.

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

Did you also upgrade your granite?

[Andreas Raster (rakete)]

I just had the same problem and uprading libgranite0 with the version from the elemtary-os ppa solved the issue.

[Silvio Grosso (grossosilvio)]

Hi,

I suppose I got the same problem on my Pc :-(

I have installed Eidete through this ppa package: eidete-daily ppa (develoment version)

I run VirtualBox 4.1.12
Windows 7 - 64 bit is the Host whereas Ubuntu 12.04 - 64 bit (Precise Pangoline) is the guest
I have tried to update && upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 system but this crash always occurs....

Eidete always crashes when I try to start it from my Terminal.

Too bad, because I wanted to test the most recent Eidete's features :-)

Here is the backtrace:

I didn't notice eidete still requested valac-0.14 instead of valac-0.16. Maybe it is solved now.

Unfortunately, this crash always occurs :-(

Today, I have updated and upgraded my Ubuntu 12.04 - 64 bit system.
Before upgrading I noticed there was an update from the eidete-daily ppa (68 kB).
After installing this new upadte the crash showed up, at usual, at the start up.
No chance to try Eidete so far :-)

The backtrace is always the same (I have already pasted it in my previous post):

(eidete:2389): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `EideteEideteApp' is smaller than the parent type's `GraniteApplication' class size
etc etc

From the post of Andreas Raster (rakete) I gather I should add a new ppa from the elementary project. Is it so?
Which ppa I am supposed to add to solve this crash (can you suggest it to me)?

Thanks a lot indeed for your support!

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

Well, if you have the elementary-os/daily ppa already added, everything should work just fine...

Sure :-)

As already pointed out, I run Ubuntu 12.04 - 64 bit (Unity Desktop) - through Virtualbox.

Needless to say, I am 100% available for further testing.... :-)

Thanks a lot!

[Silvio Grosso (grossosilvio)]

This crash is solved for me at last

I have removed the "older" ppa and I have added this new ppa to my Ubuntu 12.04 system:
ppa:shnatsel/eidete-daily

As explained, Eidete does not crash anymore :-)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for Eidete because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[FlashBuster (flashbuster)]

Still have the bug for version Version: 0.1-0~r90+pkg8~precise1 from shnatsel daily.
