Bug 274852 – gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.26.1: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_CPUFreqApplet"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jrdemasi 2009-06-20 21:44:52 UTC]

After performing a recent upgrade to the unstable branch, GNOME wasn't able to run the CPU Frequency Scaling Applet in my panel.  I stopped XDM, re-merged gnome-applets, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-panel, and gnome-power-manager, but the error still occured.  I ran rm -rf /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/*.rr;revdep-rebuild, and the error was still present.  Finally, I ran fix_libtool_files.sh, but the error is still not fixed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xdm
2. Login using GDM Login manager
3. Add the CPU Frequency Scaling Applet to your panel

Actual Results:  
I get the error output, "The panel encountered a problem while loading 'OAFIID:GNOME_CPUFreqApplet'." and the CPU Frequency Scaling applet doesn't load.

Expected Results:  
GNOME Panel should have loaded with my CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet in the notification area.

The same error occurs when I try to add Battery Charge Monitor applet.

I upgraded to gnome-applets 2.26.2, and the error is still present.

hey, the original reporter tried to close this but bugzilla's timing out on him. he thanks you all for your efforts :)

he says the problem is no longer present in newer versions so this bug can be closed.
