Bug 147802 – media-video/kino opens with a blank window

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Lane Phillips 2006-09-16 05:56:34 UTC]

I try to run Kino and it opens a blank window (with a few grey patches).  In the console it does print out a bunch of messages that look like this:

(kino:12343): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_entry_magic k_end_activate'.

(kino:12343): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_spinbutton_ magick_end_value_changed'.

et cetera.

Which version?

> Which version?

*  media-video/kino
      Latest version available: 0.7.6
      Latest version installed: 0.7.6

[Comment 3 Denis Dupeyron (RETIRED) 2006-09-16 06:25:44 UTC]

Could you please re-emerge libglade and check if that solves it ? If that doesn't, could you then please try emerging another version of kino (0.8.1 and/or 0.9.0) ?

Denis.

[Comment 4 Lane Phillips 2006-09-16 06:48:23 UTC]

Re-emerging libglade didn't work.  Emerging kino-0.8.1 and kino-0.9.0 did work.

Thanks.

[Comment 5 Denis Dupeyron (RETIRED) 2006-09-16 06:54:01 UTC]

Please, do not close the bug, as there still is an issue. We may have to stabilize a more recent version of kino. I'll look into this ASAP.

Denis.

[Comment 6 Jeff Hansen 2006-10-29 21:17:05 UTC]

I had this same problem with a blank window showing up.  It seems like the old kino (0.7.x) doesn't jive with the latest stable versions of gnome/glade/gtk/glib. 

Anyway, after upgrading to 0.9.2, everything works fine again.  I did have a problem with the video not playing well (in 0.9.2), but it started working perfectly after I deleted my ~/.kinorc file.

[Comment 7 Grant Edwards 2006-11-14 12:41:35 UTC]

Same here: kino 0.7.6 just creates a dead, empty window on two systems I've tried.  

The "testing" version (0.9.2) works fine.

[Comment 8 Luis Ferreira 2007-01-05 11:22:25 UTC]

kino-0.9.2

Compiles and works fine.

This obviously isn't the same issue. Please try the new ebuild for kino-0.9.5 (the one I've just committed today), and open a new bug if this doesn't fix your issue.

Closing this now that 0.9.5 is stable on all architectures.

Denis.
