GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 577649
deskbar-applet crashes because of GnomeURLopener in deskbar.core.Web on x86_64
Last modified: 2009-05-01 18:06:28 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. run /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w -d 2. you get an error on x86_64 about 'Argument out of range' 3.

Other information: Installed on a x86_64 Slackware based distro (BlueWhite64). When compiling the same GNOME 2.26 related packages for 32bit deskbar-applet seem to work.
I can't reproduce this bug on Ubuntu x86_64 (deskbar-applet version 2.24.1)
The exception occurs in deskbar/core/_userdir/__userdirsmodule.c when the value given to g_get_user_special_dir is out of range. Maybe PyInt_AsLong does something work on 64bit machines? Unfortunately, I currently don't have access to a 64bit OS.
I spent some more time on this problem and i figured out that if i run "xdg-user-dirs-update" manually after a fresh install and for a newly created user then the deskbar-applet works fine. This will create the default "User" directories like "Downloads", "Documents", "Public" and "Templates". If i remove all these directories again deskbar-applet fails to start again. It looks like that i only need to create the "Templates" directory (or any directory specified in the ".config/user-dirs.dirs" configuration file for XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR) and deskbar-applet works. This is weired since on x32 systems i do not have these directories and it works. On x64 it only works when i have a "Templates" directory, the other directories are not required.
I have to add that i can run /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w -d and i get that window for the deskbar-applet now but i cannot add deskbar to the panel: it fails to load. Not sure if that is related to the same initial error. Using GNOME 2.26, deskbar-applet 2.26.0, Python 2.5. No logfile shows any errors related to deskbar-applet.

Using the command line /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w will bring up the icon/window and i can use the deskbar as a window.
Created attachment 132069 [details] [review] Check value of get_xdg_user_dir in has_requirements method Could you please try if this patch works for you?
This patch does work for me when using the command line method (deskbar-applet -w) to start the deskbar-applet: No complaining about a missing Templates directory or "ValueError: Argument out of range" error anymore. But i still cannot load the applet to the panel on x86_64 only but that might be a different problem. Thanks for the patch.

Thanks for the patch. > Try the following: - Remove all instances of deskbar-applet from the panel - Start deskbar-applet from the command line with "-d" switch - Add it to the panel as usual You should now see debugging output in the terminal.
I have set log level in the deskbar script to "DEBUG" and redirected the log messages to a file but besides the messages below i do not see any reason for why the the applet does quit unexpectedly. All i get is the dialog that will ask me if i want to reload the applet. 04-05 14:43:46 deskbar DEBUG Data Dir: /usr/share/deskbar-applet 04-05 14:43:46 deskbar DEBUG Handlers Dir: ['/home/user/.local/share/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible', '/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible'] 04-05 14:43:52 deskbar DEBUG Data Dir: /usr/share/deskbar-applet 04-05 14:43:52 deskbar DEBUG Handlers Dir: ['/home/user/.local/share/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible', '/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible'] 04-05 14:43:52 deskbar.gtkexcepthook INFO Using GTK exception handler 04-05 14:43:53 root INFO Starting Deskbar instance: <gnome.applet.Applet object at 0x12eeaf0 (PanelApplet at 0x1347000)> OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.Keybinder INFO Binding Global shortcut <Alt>F3 to focus the deskbar 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.CoreImpl INFO Successfully binded Deskbar to <Alt>F3 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.ModuleLoader INFO Loading module 'Computer Actions' from file /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/gdmactions.py. 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.ModuleLoader INFO Loading module 'Templates' from file /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/templates.py. 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.ModuleLoader INFO Loading module 'Files, Folders and Places' from file /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/files.py. 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.Utils WARNING Icon devhelp Load Error: Icon 'devhelp' not present in theme (or Icon 'devhelp' not present in theme) 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.Utils WARNING Icon `stock_unknown' is not present in theme 04-05 14:43:53 deskbar.core.ModuleLoader WARNING Class DevhelpHandler in file /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/programs.py has missing requirements.

If you start deskbar-applet from the command line first and add it to the panel afterwards it works, right? If that's the case the file /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/Deskbar_Applet.server might point to the wrong executable.
No... start deskbar from the command line and add it to the panel afterwards does not work. This is what i have done: 1) kill all instances from deskbar-applet 2) /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -d 3) Add deskbar-applet to the panel 4) deskbar-applet icon is on the panel for about one second 5) deskbar-applet disappears 6) Dialog window pops up "Applet has died unexpectedly! Reload it?" I would like to give more info but there are no other messages (except the messages in comment #11 ), neither when launched from the command line nor when trying to add it to the panel using "Add applet" dialog. The bonobo server file includes the correct path to the executable. If deskbar-applet would be an executable i could give a gdb backtrace but i don't know how to do that for a python script. The odd thing is that when using "deskbar-applet -w" deskbar is working well in a window...
Actually, you can use gdb: $ gdb python (gdb) run /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet It might be difficult to get a meaningful stacktrace, though.
Created attachment 132142 [details] backtrace from deskbar crash on x86_64 As you mentioned before a backtrace does not show any helpful info except that i got a SIGSEGV. I tried that on two different systems and the only difference is the module that was last loaded before the SIGSEGV was received. I just recompiled GNOME 2.24.3 with deskbar-applet 2.24.3 on a fresh install of the same x86_64 system and i do not get any errors. I recompiled deskbar 2.24.3 on GNOME 2.26 and there this version will fail to start also so i think it's not a problem in deskbar, but a change in one of the other GNOME related packages... the odd thing is that this only affects my x86_64 systems...
I saw the same stacktrace already at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deskbar-applet/+bug/333608 I guess it's some bug in pygobject, maybe related to bug 566571? Adding Paul Pogonyshev to CC to get some insight.
the ubuntu comments suggest it could be due to the twitter option
Confirmed: If i remove the twitter modules on x86_64 i can add the deskbar-applet to the panel. Removing the applet, copy back the twitter files and then add back the deskbar-applet back to the panel and deskbar will crash again.
From the stacktrace on launchpad it seems that importing deskbar.core.Web causes this problem. Could remove everything but that import from twitter.py and try again please? Btw, thank you so much for helping me out. Unfortunately, I can't test this myself.
Or maybe just using python's interactive shell and typing in "import deskbar.core.Web" will do it. What's super weird is that it actually works in window mode.
Created attachment 132236 [details] Logfile from python import deskbar.core.Web When running python and just do a import deskbar.core.Web then python just exits without any message displayed. If i use python -dv and then try to import deskbar.core.Web i can see that some files get imported (see logfile) but after gnomekeyring python exits without any errors... And yes... i tried again using "deskbar-applet -w" and the window pops up and i can use the search.
I forgot to add that if i type in a search with twitter module enabled the search suggested to post a comment via twitter when using "deskbar-applet -w". So the twitter module really works in window mode.
Does python crash when you import gnomekeyring directly, too? Could please get stacktrace with gdb --args python -c "import gnomekeyring"?
I am the reporter of stacktrace with twitter module in Ubuntu launchpad. I find out the way to crash deskbar-applet in window mode. It's a little strange, but anyway. From Alt-F2 "Run" I launched /bin/dash with "run in terminal" marked. From the terminal I'm running /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w It crashes each time, so it is reproducible 100% on my computer. It doesn't crash with bash, though. From this shell I launched python and tried import gnomekeyring and import deskbar.core.Web. Both are working just fine. I would be glad to offer help and do more tests, just tell me what to do.
gdb --args python -c "import gnomekeyring" works for me. I do not have dash, only bash, csh and zsh and when using ALT+F2 + [bash|csh|zsh] in Terminal mode line described in comment #24 everything works well in window mode, no crash here. But as i said, i do not have dash. I added some extra logging.info lines to the deskbar-script and python does execute the deskbar-script until the last command (gnomeapplet.bonobo_factory). Another logging.info command behind that is not executed anymore. If i add a logging.info on top of the Web.py script but behind the "import gnomekeyring" i get another logfile entry so the deskbar goes atleast til here and gnomekeyring was just the last import that worked. I'm not a python programmer so i don't know where to add the next logging.info entries that might be helpful.

This is just awful to debug. The only thing that seems to be a little bit out of the ordinary is the class GnomeURLopener that inherits from two classes.
gdb --args python -c "import deskbar.core.Web" produces the same SIGSEGV as in the stracktraces already reported. In twitter.py i added more logging.info entries just before and behind the import of deskbar.core.Web. The logging.info command behind "import deskbar.core.Web" is not executed anymore. So when loading the applet to the panel and when twitter gets loaded it chrashes while doing the import of deskbar.core.Web.
The only thing I can think of right now is to remove one class after another from deskbar.core.Web and check each time if the import still fails.
To be precise I can only be either AccountDialog or GnomeURLopener, because the all other classes don't inherit from a pygtk or pygobject class.
It segfaults in Web.py line 236 proxies = get_proxy() if I comment out the whole __init function for GnomeURLopener, it works uncomment this line - segfault
Hmm, nevermind my last comment, it still crashes, even with __init__ commented out.
Removing FancyURLopener from declaration like this class GnomeURLopener (#urllib.FancyURLopener, gobject.GObject): makes the crash go away. Any further ideas?
Does it work when you only inherit from urllib.FancyURLopener, too? Make sure to comment out gobject.GObject.__init__ (self) in __init__.
Yes, it does. It looks like problem with using multiple inheritance and GObject together. Migrating to single inheritance+delegation should help, IMHO.
Created attachment 132271 [details] [review] Don't make GnomeURLopener a GObject Could you please try this patch. Make sure you still can post to twitter/identi.ca if you have an account. It works at least for me.
Yes, it works for me too. I registered account and my posts from deskbar appeared in twitter. Thanks!
Ich have tested the patch also and even with twitter enabled the applet loads to the panel now. Thx a lof for the patch!
I think I am too late with this information, but for the record: When I set the logging configuration on DEBUG in line 46 in /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet, I can add the deskbar-applet to the panel and can use it without problems.
I committed the GnomeURLopener patch to svn trunk and it will be part of 2.26.1. I'm still waiting for string freeze break approval for the templates patch. Thanks a lot for all your help!
The patch solves an intermittent bug on Fedora rawhide x86_64 that has been occuring on and off for a while. I'll post an update if the breakage reoccurs -- rather weird that it never caused a problem on 32-bit systems.
I committed the patch for the crash in the templates module as is to master and a slightly modified version to gnome-2-26 branch to avoid breaking string freeze break.
