Description lenz94 2011-05-01 10:50:46 UTC
hey,
with the xrandr-indicator enabled, gnome3 will not start..
it tells me about an error, that is not handable by gnome.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a more useful description to this bug.
Comment 2 lenz94 2011-05-01 13:30:43 UTC
the problem is, that i don't know, how to get information about this bug, because i cannot login, if i have installed this extension. after login, i get the message, that some unhandable problem is there and then i have to log in again.
if i try to login again, the same message shows up.

i hope this helps.if not, please tell me what i have to do to get the information you need.

greetings from germany,
sebastian

> i get the message, that some unhandable problem is there

What is the *exact* error message?
Comment 4 lenz94 2011-05-01 13:47:52 UTC
The exaxt error message (it's german):
Leider ist ein Problem aufgetreten.

Ein Problem ist aufgetreten, welches vom System nicht behoben werden kann. Bitte melden Sie sich ab und versuchen Sie es erneut.

Did you mean that?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2011-05-01 14:11:09 UTC
Yes, though no idea which module that one comes from...
Comment 6 Alphazo 2011-05-01 21:13:53 UTC
I have the exact same problem. I'm sorry but no additional error message (except mine is in French).
Comment 7 Giovanni Campagna 2011-05-02 12:39:23 UTC
Ok the error is a standard fail whale, I suppose.

You need to grab .xsession-errors instead. But it is very likely that it is a known bug: xrandr-indicator requires a gjs patched for bug 634253

Comment 9 Alphazo 2011-05-06 16:12:04 UTC
Giovanni is right. This is linked to gjs "Only supporting null-terminated arrays of strings"
Comment 10 John Stowers 2011-05-31 02:18:44 UTC
This was fixed with bfd107cef010418ee8439b222e94128cfe7c3dd2 (require gjs version)

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
