moblin-panel-* applets do not appear on panel. Renders Moblin completely useless.

[Dylan McCall]

Binary package hint: moblin-session

This is my first time really playing with Moblin (since it's so nicely packaged in Lucid I couldn't resist!), so forgive me if this is being filed against completely the wrong package.

Installed moblin-session and all of the moblin-panel-* packages it pulled in. I logged in to the Moblin session through GDM using both a new account and my existing account. However, nothing happens. It has the Moblin wallpaper, but otherwise no interaction. Pressing the Super key causes the Moblin panel to appear, but it only has three items: A clock, Zones (the task switcher) and "Network" on the right. When I click Network, a white panel appears with the text "Loading panel", but again it never gets anywhere.

Started up a terminal from inside Mutter by logging in to a vterm, changing the display variable and running gnome-terminal. ps -A | grep moblin reveals that all the necessary moblin-panel applications are running. (They had been launched before Mutter, from /etc/xdg/moblin/xinitrc).
I tried killing the currently running moblin-panel-myzone, then ran it again in the terminal. Again, no functionality although the program continued running without crashing. I did the same for moblin-panel-media and moblin-panel-status.

I logged in to a bare xterm session and ran Moblin's xinitrc. This gave me a whole pile of information. Hopefully it's useful!
Note that I had recorded output from various individual components, but the stuff from xinitrc has all of it and in the correct order. If you would like smaller snippets, they are available, too :)

I have the exact same experience: just the wallpaper, and a panel with the clock, "zones" and the network item in it upon hitting the top edge. Have you made any progress on this?

Same here, will we see moblin up and running in 10.04 betas?

I'm facing the same issue on 10.04 beta2 as well, hopefully someone will fix this soon.
