GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 635052
Hamster doesn't start after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)
Last modified: 2010-12-10 14:19:49 UTC
After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) the hamster-applet doesn't appear in the Gnome Panel, nor when I run it from the Ubuntu menu. I am using the latest PPA version, 2.31.92-0ubuntu2 - full version details at the bottom of this message. When I run "/usr/lib/hamster-applet/hamster-applet -w" in the terminal I get the following error: ** (hamster-applet:7315): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' ** (hamster-applet:7315): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' ** (hamster-applet:7315): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowMoveResizeMask' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' 2010-11-16 16:26:22,494 ERROR: Introspect error on :1.217:/org/gnome/Hamster: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) 2010-11-16 16:26:22,501 ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

looks like a packaging error. also, the latest stable version is 2.32.1
I don't think it's a packaging error - names like :1.127 aren't provided by .service files so the error is probably misleading. The previous message in the log is "ERROR: Introspect error on :1.217:/org/gnome/Hamster: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" which may suggest that something goes wrong on the other side and service dies. I can't really reproduce it myself. As for the version - I'm aware of the fact that 2.32.1 has been released but what we have in maverick is actually 2.30.0 minus translations. I'm going to update hamster to 2.32.1 soon but I don't think it will make a bug go away :).
yah, well the :1.127 is a DBUS port and can be pretty much anything What it says is that it can't find service for "org/gnome/Hamster" which leads me thinking that /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ or wherever the services are is missing the hamster.service file. installing build/default/org.gnome.hamster.service as /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.hamster.service full standard ./waf install log below. look for this line: "installing build/default/org.gnome.hamster.service as /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.hamster.service" [z@z hamster]$ sudo ./waf install Waf: Entering directory

point regards the version is that one should report bugs upstream based on source code, not a distribution version
Point taken about the version, as for the org.gnome.hamster.service file It's installed in /usr/share/dbus-1/services: $ dpkg -L hamster-applet |grep org.gnome.hamster.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.hamster.service it also points at the right Exec so unless reporter have broken installation it should not be a problem. Full build log is available at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/56381378/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-i386.hamster-applet_2.31.92-0ubuntu2_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz @d❤vid seaward: Can you confirm that you have /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.hamster.service file on your system?
I have solved this problem by backing up and deleting my old hamster database. I can extract data from it myself. The fresh database works well. I did have a /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.hamster.service file Maybe the database update script failed, or wasn't applied? Unfortunately I'm not able to investigate/debug any further at this point. Fingers crossed for the next Ubuntu upgrade.
