Bug 55784 – giftui 0.4.1 fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description rabbitambulance 2004-07-01 05:35:51 UTC]

the newest version of giftui fails with the following error:
giftui : No host to connect /apps/giftui/daemon/host

my "solution" is to have giftui 0.4.1 hardmasked, since 0.3.1 works fine.

what versions of gift and gtk+ do you people have installed? As of right now, this is a WORKSFORME, the only difference being that I'm on ~x86 and have -march=pentium4; I'd rather track this bug down instead of masking the package.

[Comment 5 rabbitambulance 2004-07-03 02:16:28 UTC]

i'm running gift-0.11.6-r1 and gtk+-2.4.1.

[Comment 6 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-07-03 09:55:02 UTC]

could you please try upgrading to gtk+-2.4.3 and letting me know if that does anything?

[Comment 7 rabbitambulance 2004-07-04 17:21:01 UTC]

ok, upgrading gtk fixed it. i guess the gtk dependency of this thing needs to be changed.
i still get some Gtk-Warnings when running this, though:

(giftui:22395): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid input string

** (giftui:22395): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

(giftui:22395): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid input string

** (giftui:22395): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()


they don't seem to affect it running, however.
