Bug 352466 – [gnome-overlay] net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth needs a patch to install libgnome-bluetooth-applet

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description michael higgins 2011-01-23 01:38:31 UTC]

libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0. is needed to get gnome-shell loaded


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to load gnome shell
2. doesn't load
3. errors are thrown

Actual Results:  
error about libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0.so: cannot open shared object file:

Expected Results:  
gnome-shell goodness

Here's a quick fix to illustrate, but should be patched in the ebuild, somehow, maybe?

FEATURES="keepwork" emerge -av net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth

cp ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth-2.91.5/work/gnome-bluetooth-2.91.5/applet/.libs/libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/

cd /usr/lib && ln libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0.0.0 libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0

Attach full build log.
At casual glance, if that lib is built, it should be installed too.

Seems it is, but installed in the wrong place for gnome-shell for some reason. Well, if the info helps, it helps.

What's your version of gnome-shell ? 
It appears at least 2.91.4 is required.
Attach its build log.

[Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2011-01-24 10:29:00 UTC]

As you might guess, build log with silent make is not that useful in this case,
attach log of reemerge with V=1. Post also output of ldd on libgnome-shell.

I'm starting to get the idea what could have been wrong and it's something else than you think - your own log says libgnome-bluetooth-applet is getting installed.

Could you provide the *exact* output upon the failure ?

[Comment 10 Michael Lippautz 2011-01-24 20:20:56 UTC]

As I think I get the same message as the author, so here are my errors:

$ gnome-shell --replace
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
Fensterverwalter-Warnung:Log level 16: Failed to load shared library 'libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0' referenced by the typelib: libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Fensterverwalter-Warnung:Log level 8: g_ascii_strncasecmp: assertion `s2 != NULL' failed
Shell killed with signal 11

The messages may have to do with gobject introspection failure (wrong built?) as typelib is mentioned.

I am also attaching an output of ``gnome-shell --replace --verbose''.

git the exactly same error :/

[Comment 13 Rafał Mużyło 2011-01-27 17:48:47 UTC]

First, I must state that I have no experience with gobject-introspectin.

Having sad that, it seems that the wrapper lib (typelib ?) needs to have the path to $(libdir)/gnome-bluetooth passes to at build.
Perhaps a correct --library-path option passed at build to g-ir-scanner would help ?

[Comment 14 Ben L. 2011-01-27 18:53:09 UTC]

yes, this will fix the problem:

~ # ln -s /usr/lib64/gnome-bluetooth/libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so /usr/lib64/libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0

That so called "fix" is obviously not the correct way to do it.

This just moves the problem from runtime to compile-time for us.

[Comment 18 Nirbheek Chauhan (RETIRED) 2011-02-18 06:09:52 UTC]

This should be now fixed, compilation problems were caused due to la-file removal in gnome-bluetooth.

Thanks for reporting!

[Comment 19 Damien Thébault 2011-03-05 13:34:03 UTC]

I have "*.la" in INSTALL_MASK.
Setting INSTALL_MASK="" for gnome-bluetooth solves it for me too.
