[Think-Free]

Binary package hint: avant-window-navigator

When I try to launch avant-window-navigator it doesn't, doing it by konsole give me :

I'm using kubuntu hardy alpha 3 up to date on 03 february 08
awn was installed by adept manager

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Thanks for the report.

Can you test with the new version in hardy ?
Do you have always this problem or it's just random crash on startup ?
It could be usefull if you can report the crash with apport.

[Think-Free (think-free)]

Well, since I've installed kate-kde4, I don't have the probleme, I think
It's a dependency problem with D-Bus because kate-kde4 install a dbus
package ...
If you need more information, tell me
Thanks

Thanks for the test. That's strange, awn depends on libdbus-1-3 and libdbus-glib-1-2, that should provide all dbus necessary stuff. Is there another dbus package installing with kate ?

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Well just looking through kate-kde4 deps, it depends on kdelibs5 which pulls down dbus-x11 which depends on dbus itself. But dbus comes with a default Ubuntu install so I can't imagine that this is the issue.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

I have a confirmation that awn need dbus-x11. I'll add it to the package.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

This patch includes the fix and some improvements for the package.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

What is the rationale for this change?
  * debian/rules
   - Only call pycentral with binary-post-install for python binaries.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

any reason why you need to depends on x11-dbus? why the dbus started by GNOME for example would not be enough?

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

@Luca
I changed the way python binaries are made by only call pycentral with binary-post-install instead of DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM=pycentral because it's is more simple and correctly made python depends for binaries (the previous way didn't).

@Sebastien
The problem appears when AWN is installed in a non-GNOME environnement. According to this error :

(avant-window-navigator:11868): WARNING **: Failed to make connection to session bus: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

it's seems to need dbus-launch which is part of the dbus-x11 package, but I didn't investigate more on this.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the depends on dbus-launch is not correct, a recommends should be used rather, the user can start dbus using other ways too

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

> the depends on dbus-launch is not correct, a recommends should be used rather, the user can start dbus using other ways too

I would be agreed if Recommends packages was installed by default. If I put on recommends, people will install the package, try to launch it, and will have the same bug report as this one, so nothing will be solve. I don't think a "normal" user will automaticly install recommends packages if he has a crash, or start manually dbus. And dbus-x11 is a very small package which only depends on dbus, so the impact is very minor.

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

Is this really still Incomplete? From the sounds of it, it seems at least Confirmed if not Fix Committed or even Fix Released. Could anyone clarify? Thanks!

[Bruce Miller (brm0423)]

I have run awn without incident under Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon using both KDE 3.5.x and KDE 4.0.x. Neither is awn's "native" environment which, if I understand correctly is Gnome, but the applications runs smoothly for me.

As I understand it, Julien (gilir) is currently trying to get a package dependency change accepted.
I've taken the liberty of changing the status and assignment as a result.
(FYI, I'm one of the upstream devs)

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Set to confirmed as I answer Sebastien Bacher about the Depends / Recommends.
Other possible fix is to make sure dbus working before launching, But in this case, this bug should be forwarded.

[Mark Lee (malept)]

I think this is a distribution-specific bug - desktops (such as KDE) should start the D-Bus session daemon when the desktop starts. I think it's fair that Awn assumes that D-Bus is already running when it starts up. I'm pretty sure several other D-Bus using programs assume the same thing. Therefore, I'm marking it as Invalid.

[Andrea Colangelo (warp10)]

Unsubscribing u-u-s, since the only debdiff here is for hardy. Please, resubscribe when something to be reviewed and sponsored is available.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Set as release, dbus-X11 is now a recommended package in intrepid
