yep vino is always crashing when you try to share the desktop with empathy. both of my test machines where running the live image of maverick beta i386, so using plain stock setup. this bug means that desktop sharing on maverick is currently broken.

[Guillaume Desmottes (cassidy)]

If it crashes when trying to share that probably means Vino was not running
previoulsy (according to the trace, it crashes when trying to register the TP
client which is done when starting Vino).

Could you try to start Vino manually first and see if that helps? Use
"VINO_SERVER_DEBUG=tube /usr/lib/vino/vino-server" so you'll have some debug
output.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug seems to be due to the indicator changes, Ken could you see what is wrong since it's you who got those reviewed and uploaded?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

easy way to get the bug:
* run /usr/lib/vino/vino-server on a command line
* run empathy
* right click on a contact and share your desktop with the contact

the command line has those errors

""(vino-server:3173): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_new_valist: object class
`VinoTubeServer' has no property named `display-status-icon'

** (vino-server:3173): CRITICAL **: vino_server_init_from_screen: assertion
`screen != NULL' failed

Comment from Guillaume on the upstream bug

"This sounds wrong. VinoTube Server inherits from VinoServer which implements
this property."

The code copy for the indicator probably needs to be updated to match upstream changes

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system

kenvandine gave me a hint that all that's left to do on this one is to fix the issue of not having the name in the menu

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

vino (2.31.91-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/12_app-indicators-only.patch
    - Fix crasher in (LP: #628967)
    - Introduces a regression, but at least fixes the crasher, we can't lookup
      the contact's alias at the time the menu is created.
