GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 571769
tasque doesn't start properly on non-gnome desktops
Last modified: 2009-03-19 23:44:19 UTC
Please describe the problem: tasque doesn't seem to gracefully handle being started on a non-gnome desktop (specifically wmii3 in my case) that does not have a notification area. Upon running tasque, the preferences window pops up with the dropdown under "Task Management System" blank and greyed out. If you then hit Close, the preferences widnow goes away, tasque stays running, and there is no visible UI. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: vitaminmoo@moo:~$ tasque [Debug]: Tasque remote control disabled (DBus exception): Unable to open the session message bus. ** (Tasque:6416): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /usr/lib/tasque/Tasque.exe could not be loaded: Assembly: evolution-sharp (assemblyref_index=15) Version: 3.0.0.0 Public Key: 457eed85bd9370df The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly (/usr/lib/tasque/). ** (Tasque:6416): WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'evolution-sharp, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=457eed85bd9370df' or one of its dependencies. ** (Tasque:6416): WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'evolution-sharp, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=457eed85bd9370df' or one of its dependencies.

This is a packaging error, it has nothing to do with whether or not you are starting it in GNOME. What distribution are you using? They compiled Tasque with support for EDS, but then either forgot to make the package depend on evolution-sharp, or this is Ubuntu and you are using the old broken version of their Jaunty evolution-sharp package that doesn't install correctly. Marking as a duplicate of a bug we created to track the idea of making Tasque still work for other backends in a situation like this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 571378 ***
