GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 607366
Possibly threading problem in hamster-applet >= 2.28.2
Last modified: 2010-01-21 22:05:35 UTC
As the maintainer for hamster-applet in Fedora I recently started getting several bugs that possibly indicate a threading problem in hamster-applet. The problem appears to first have started in hamster-applet 2.28.2 and is apparently still present in 2.29.5. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it myself, but there are users on the Fedora bug that can most likely help out. See this bug for more information and stack traces: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544344
not sure about the 64 bit and what could have possibly caused it. but regards comment 15 in the redhat bug - could you please let him know that the file has not been blown anywhere. Database has moved to ~/.local/share/hamster-applet to match freedesktop specifications.
The problem should now be fixed in git master. Could you please verify and reopen if it is still crashing?
The fix has been verified. Thank you very much.
btw the fix was also pushed to 2.28, so you can roll another mid-stable for f12 too :)
hah, was trying to see how come that things broke in 2.28.2 - actually figured the offending commit. well - who would have thought: http://git.gnome.org/browse/hamster-applet/commit/?h=gnome-2-28&id=a139d3648bff6d76c0d2a4809444f5e489ba9e00 i would suggest updating to the most recent stable though as it fixes many annoyances, most prominently, flickering popups and bars not appearing on some machines.
Will you be rolling a new 2.28.x release soon or should I just pull it from git?
the roadmap does not list any further 2.28 versions so i guess pull from git
