Description Eugenia Loli-Queru 2005-04-04 05:42:05 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Arch Linux 0.7

configured and installed successfully gnome-blog, with prefix=/opt/gnome
However, it doesn't run:

I have the latest stable py* stuff on my distro installed. The applet does not
load either: The panel encountered a problem while loading
"OAFIID:GNOME_BlogApplet".

Seth, I can't reassign to johnp@redhat.com as you suggested, the bugzilla tells
me that there is no such account here.
Comment 2 Tommi Komulainen 2005-05-15 20:27:36 UTC 
gtkspell.Spell() can fail in many ways, for me it's complaining about missing
word lists.  The call should probably be guarded with try-except and gtkspell
use disabled if an exception gets thrown.
Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2005-05-19 18:56:59 UTC 
Also reported in bug 164223 comment 5, marking new. Comment 2 seems the right
way to fix this.
Comment 4 Richard Schwarting 2005-08-01 20:08:45 UTC 
Is this a dupe of #309279 ?
Comment 5 Eugenia Loli-Queru 2005-08-01 20:21:37 UTC 
Could be, I don't know. That bug doesn't give any crash details.
Comment 6 Olav Vitters 2005-08-01 20:25:17 UTC 
Bug 309279 has patch and disables gtkspell when it isn't working. This will fix
this bug.
