Thanks for the report could you please do the following:

- remove all the instances of the sticky notes on the panel.
- run gdb as: gdb /usr/lib/gnome-applets/stickynotes_applet
- execute run inside gdb
- right click on the panel and add the sticky notes applet to the panel

it should crash, please save that log file and attach it to the report, thanks in advance.

[Sandeep Kamath (sandeepkamath)]

I'm not able to see it in the panels, so not sure how to remove it
but I ran it with gdb. heres the output

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks Sandeep, may you please install the gnome-applets dbgsym packages with the instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and get the backtrace with the instructions posted on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace ; forget to give you the links to that on the first comment, sorry about that. Thanks for the help!.

[Andres Rodriguez (andreserl)]

Hey guys.

I've managed to get the stickynotes applet icon added to the bar, however it fails to add new notes. The way I've managed to add it was by removing the previously created $HOME/.gnome2/stickynotes_applet file. After it has been removed, I added the applet and the icon was shown there and no error displayed. However, when trying to add a new note, the error was showed again.

I did the following and got the attached output (the output was given to me when trying to add a new note):
- I installed the gnome-applet-dbg package.
- remove all the instances of the sticky notes on the panel.
- run gdb as: gdb /usr/lib/gnome-applets/stickynotes_applet
- execute run inside gdb
- right click on the panel and add the sticky notes applet to the panel
- right click on the sticky notes applet, and add a new note.

Hope this helps. Btw Pedro, if you have time to show me how to fix this, let me know since I would love to learn. Cheers.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The crash seems similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584985

[Jonathan Nielsen (jmnet)]

Happened for me on a new x86 install, added sticky notes to the panel and it crashed every time I created a new note. Also worthy of note is that it will not let me change the size of the default note from 0x0 in the preferences panel.

[André Barmasse (barmassus)]

Hi

Same problem on my Sony Vaio since Ubuntu Karmic Koala Alpha4. Impossible to add stickynotes to the panel. Would be nice to get it back soon, because I already have quite a lot of notes and I find stickynotes way better and compacter than tomboy (but that is just a personal note). I executed the test of Pedro Villavicencio above and I got the following:

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

I see this too. On upgrades in karmic where I had $HOME/.gnome/stickynotes_applet, then the applet does not load. If I remove the applet and the $HOME/.gnome/stickynotes_applet file, I can load the applet into the panel, but adding a new note causing a crash. If I bring up the Preferences dialog I cannot close it. I am upping the importance to 'High' since there are many duplicates and the applet is totally non-functional. Also added the 'regression-potential' tag. Please adjust as needed.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-applets - 2.28.0-0ubuntu1

[Lukas Hejtmanek (xhejtman)]

I'm still getting the crash with 2.28.0-0ubuntu1.

[Franz Dietzmann (tdk-le)]

I can confirm that the applet is still crashing.

[Hans B (chonz)]

I use up to date karmic
 Linux 2.6.31-10-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 16 01:09:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I just tried to use the applet but after doubleclick it crashed again

[André Barmasse (barmassus)]

Hmmmm, the bug is not really fixed yet. When I remove $HOME/.gnome2/stickynotes_applet I can at least add stickynotes to the panel. But when I try to open a new note it crashes with the same SIGSEGV message as mentioned above. Looking forward for a working fix ...

[liorwohl (liorwohl)]

i still have this bug. I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 daily cd from yesterday on a new netbook (with no previous home folder etc). i can add the applet to my panel and see its icon but when i try to add a new note its crashing.

[brotherquintus (gkoefner)]

i can confirm this bug, there also seems to be the same problem with tomboy. do not know if is related.

[ty_2000 (tangy)]

this problem still exist. I've upgraded a x86 system, and an amd64 system to the beta release. It still crashes.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks, will comment upstream.

[Almas (almasd)]

Confirming problem still exist. It crashing x86 Jaunty 9.04 upgrade to 9.10 beta.

[Tomáš Heger (theger)]

Hi, I can also confirm this problem on my laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 Beta (updated). Tomboy seems to work fine. Can I provide more information?

[Nastrafireblaze (nastrafireblaze)]

Hello, I can also confirm this still is the problem on a brand new Ubuntu Karmic Beta upgrade. Cannot create any new stickynotes and application will crash and ask if I would like to reload.

[Nastrafireblaze (nastrafireblaze)]

I dont know about Tomboy as I do not use it, I prefer sticky notes and last time I checked it was made by a created by a completely different programmer.

[Jonas Diaz (jonasdiaz)]

The same problem here, with a fresh installation of Karmic Beta, if you need more information I'll be glad to help...

[Giovanni Mellini (merlos)]

The bug is still here with last updates.

right the issue is that there's still some duplicates id's on the stickynotes.ui which makes it crash.

It just crashed when i updated, it crashed before such as when i installed kde, it couldn't run, but on gnome it did, not anymore though.

[toobuntu (toobuntu)]

Perhaps germane to this bug is something similar that had affected the workspace switcher applet. The spin buttons were not working in the preferences, just as with the stickynote applet (Default Note Properties, Height and Width). Here's how it was fixed:

gnome-panel (1:2.27.92-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

 * New upstream version:
...
   Wnck Applets
   - Fix spin buttons not working in workspace switcher preferences
...
 * debian/patches/16_compiz_workspace_switcher.patch:
   - updated spin adjustments in the workspace switcher to work correctly
     (lp: #423493)

[Eric Hartmann (hartmann-eric)]

I've just test the patch from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594797 in ubuntu, and I can confirm that it works, no more crash.

I hope that this will be integrated before the release.

[Tom Winterhalder (thwint)]

Me too I can confirm that this patch solves the issue.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The change will be in the GNOME 2.28.1 update next week and in karmic

[Giovanni Mellini (merlos)]

I can confirm the patch solves the issue.

Karmic beta new install today, all updates applied.
Gnome Panel 2.28.0 - so I guess that's not in the Karmic upgrades yet.
Confirmed that applet crashes on first use.
Prefs are inaccessable, with zero height and width for default size unchangable.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

As Sebastien said in his previous comment, the fix is going to land with GNOME Applets 2.28.1, please check your installed version before commenting here, if you have installed 2.28.0 then this is not fixed for you yet, please wait for the new package that is going to be released this week and if you still are facing the issue with the new one (again 2.28.1) please do comment here. Thanks all.

[Vivien (vivien-merle)]

Thank you for this information.
I've in fact a 2.28.0. G-A release.

Upgraded karmic package to 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 just now.
Same refusal to start, same size prefs inaccesibility.

[toobuntu (toobuntu)]

Nan M: you need to restart the applet after installing the updated version. You could kill gnome-panel (it will reload automatically), or log out and log back in again.

$ killall gnome-panel

After that, everything works for me.

[Nan M (mcintyre-n-deactivatedaccount)]

Thanks toobuntu, but unfortunately, any number of restarts doesn't change the bad behaviour in this installation.
Sticky notes continues to refuse to start a new note, and size can't be upped from zeros in prefs.
karmic
2.28.0-0ubuntu2

[Jonathan Nielsen (jmnet)]

Odd, it did start working for me. Perhaps change the preference sizes
manually (in gconf-editor? Don't know where they are located,
hopefully someone tracking this bug knows) and see if that works for
you.

Me too. My machine is fully up to date as I type and Sticky Notes now
appears to work completely as expected. Synaptic reports version 2.28.0.

@lotus49
Thanks too for delurking for the advice.
I think I'll stop clogging up the thread, stay subscribed, and go for a mosey around irc for some help to get familiar with gconfig, and will only return here if/when the bug is solved in my install.
Don't you just get annoyed when a fresh install misbehaves ;-)

Hi

After yesterday's update stickynotes works again like a charm. Thanks for the fix. As a reminder: please keep stickynotes as part of the desktop applets, because they are wonderfully tiny, and thus you can put a lot of them on the desktop. Don't even think about replacing them with the clumsy tomboy!!

Keep up the good work! André

Still crashes sometimes on login in Ubuntu 10.10.
