Bug 28703 – Gnomemeeting 0.98.0 problem

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Geoff Wright 2003-09-14 07:07:45 UTC]

I have emerged gnomemeeting 0.98.0 on Gentoo1.4 (kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6). The
emerge completes without reporting any errors. However, when I start GM, it
returns the following message.  

"It appears that you do not have gnomemeeting.server installed in a valid
location. Factory mode disabled."

Despite the message it starts up anyway but when I try to connect to another
user, I am unable to and the message "user not found" is returned.

The following file does indeed exists after emerging gnomemeeting:
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/gnomemeeting.server


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gnomemeeting
2.gnomemeeting (at command line), returns messages "It
appears...gnomemeeting.server....etc." and starts gnomemeeting
3.tools->address book (ils.seconix.com), click on a user and a message appears
reporting "User not found"

Actual Results:  
It fails to connect to user and returns the message "User not found"

Expected Results:  
Connect with the user.

I have tested Gnomemeeting 0.96.1 on Mandrake 9.1 on the same machine and there
does not appear to be any problems with it.

first try the latest one in portage (0.98.4)

and a summary isn't supposed to be 3 lines

and do not compare to mandrake or whatever distro with another version even. Ofcourse there's something wrong. It's like saying 'hey i can edit text in windows, yet vi always crashes'

[Comment 2 Geoff Wright 2003-09-14 15:27:16 UTC]

I agree that the summary was overkill - I won't do it again.

As for the comparison with GM under Mandrake, the information was intended for no other reason than to allow NAT/Firewall issues to be ruled out.  

I have tried the latest release in portage (0.98.4) and experienced the same problem.

did you recently upgrade libbonobo, and do you still have bonobo-activation floating around anywhere ?

[Comment 4 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-09-17 14:45:24 UTC]

on a little bit of a hunch, can you try re-emerging libxml2 without -funroll-loops and -fprefetch-loop-array in your CFLAGS? 

i just want to rule out overoptimisation caused by the CFLAGS as we've seen in bug #26320

reporter, please reopen if you have more information.
