Description Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-18 08:16:19 UTC

When I start Empathy master with my tester user I get this assertion and the contact list stays greyed (no contact is displayed).

Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-18 08:34:34 UTC

The widget causing the assertion is the EmpathyIndividualView.

Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-18 09:08:59 UTC

Ok, that's because folks failed to find its TP backend so no contact was fetched. Tweaking FOLKS_BACKEND_DIR solved it.

I keep the bug opened as we still shouldn't assert if there is no contact. I think that's because the page 1 of the notebook is never displayed and so the view is not realized or something.

Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-18 09:18:13 UTC

Assigning to Felix as he's the one who implemented the notebook.

Comment 4 Felix Kaser 2010-08-24 08:20:45 UTC

most likely related to gtk+ bug #626503

Comment 5 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-27 09:55:05 UTC

The patch attached on bug #626503 doesn't help. I still have the issue.

Comment 6 Felix Kaser 2010-09-13 16:02:56 UTC

this branch should fix this, already merged to master
