I just emerged gnome-panel 2.4.2 after emerging libbonobo 2.4.3, but when I start gnome-panel in fluxbox ,it gave error like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo-activation server. The error code is: 3 The panel will now exit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, my stardict startup also has error like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** (stardict:600): CRITICAL **: file bonobo-activation-activate.c: line 370 (bonobo_activation_activate): assertion `ac != NULL' failed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the error report, I guess the problem maybe on libbonobo?

try running the bonobo-activation-server by hand/in gdb see if you can get some more ouput.
Sorry, but I don't know how to run bonobo-activation server by hand, can you explain it clearly ? I run bonobo-activation-run-query, the output shows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- root root # bonobo-activation-run-query ** (process:5781): CRITICAL **: file bonobo-activation-activate.c: line 276 (bonobo_activation_query): assertion `ac != NULL' failed NULL result failed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- And when I run nautilus system gave the same error .
I have the same problem using gnome-panel 2.6.0. running bonobo-activation-run-query once solved the problem for me. However that shouldn't be necessary right?
no it shouldn't, but there's always someone somewhere who has such a problem once for whatever unknown reason. Gonna close this non-reproducable.
(In reply to comment #4) > no it shouldn't, but there's always someone somewhere who has such a problem > once for whatever unknown reason. > > Gonna close this non-reproducable. > I had a similar problem, it was caused by a parsing problem in servers files, located in /usr/lib/bonobo/servers . Try execute " /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server --register-server " it will say to you if thare are some parsing problems and in what file. If it indicates a .server file remove or update the associated app. It will probably be incompatible with your current bonobo version. Hope it helps.
