GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 504319
CORBA error
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:57:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: On startup, GnuCash runs exceedingly slowly. Once it finally starts (after ~45 seconds, were 2.2.0 took ~10 seconds), I was presented with a message about gconf and the following details: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 Steps to reproduce: 1. Start GnuCash 2. Wait Actual results: Get the error. Program does not function correctly (opening my data file hangs the application). Trying to create a new file sort of works, but the new accounts Druid never starts, and the accounts tree view never loads. Expected results: Program should start without any errors. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Running Vista x64. The slow startup and inability to open/create files issue happened with 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. I have been using 2.2.0 since July, as the newer versions are literally unusable.

@Travis: Oh, wait, did you encounter this problem with today's 2.2.2? That's, err, bad, because the point of bug#363648 comment#98 is that in 2.2.2 this should be fixed. Sigh.
Yes, I downloaded 2.2.2 today and got this error. Overwriting files in the bin folder with ORBit2-2.13.3 solved the issue (I updated the GnuCash wiki/Windows with this info, too). Should we reopen?
I am sorry to say that, but the current GnuCash 2.2.2 win32 build does NOT contain the right ORBit2 DLLs. Please wait a while, we will keep you informed.
May you please download once again and try the updated setup.exe?
I uninstalled and reinstalled with the new 2.2.2 binary posted at Sourceforge. GnuCash started up and loaded my books without issue! Nice work. What was the resolution?
You will find the complete history of the solution at bug 363648. As said in comment 4, there was a small mistake when building the setup.exe that was online yesterday, so that the unpatched ORBit2 v2.14.10 DLLs were included. This has been fixed now.
