This is an upstream problem that should be resolved in recent versions. Could you please try with gnome-blog-0.9? Thanks.
Yep, version 0.9 fixes it.
Both version 0.8 and 0.9 fail to start when started as described in this report. Version 0.8 can be added to the panel where as version 0.9 can not. emerge --info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.7.1 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, May 2 2005, 15:29:43)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dfx 3dnow X aac aalib acl acpi aim alsa apm audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo calendar cdparanoia cdr chroot crypt cups curl dbus dga directfb divx4linux doc dvd dvdread edl eds emacs emboss encode esd ethereal exif faad fam fastcgi fbcon flac flash font-server foomaticdb fpx ftp gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm graphviz gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile hal icms icq imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jabber jack java jbig jikes jpeg jpeg2k junit kde kerberos lcms ldap libclamav libg++ libwww lzo mad mikmod mime ming mono motif mozcalendar mozdevelop mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg msn mysql nas ncurses nis nls nntp nptl ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcmcia pcre pda pdflib perl plotutils png portaudio posix postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline real recode ruby samba sasl sdl silc slp soap speex spell sqlite sse ssl svg svga tcl tcltk tcpd theora threads tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf xamin xine xinerama xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xosd xpm xprint xsl xv xvid xvmc yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Bart, could you please attach the output from running gnome-blog-poster from a terminal (both versions)? Thanks.
When I try to add gnome-blog-0.9 applet to gnome-panel, the panel outputs this (if run from terminal): ** (gnome-panel:12074): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1240: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_BlogApplet: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applet_1/prefs;background=none:;orient=down;size=x-small;locked_down=false Also, when gnome-blog-poster is run from terminal, it outputs a bunch of messages saying that gtk.TRUE and gtk.FALSE is deprecated; True and False should be used instead. I hope this helps.
Rouslan, The gtk.TRUE and gtk.FALSE messages are warnings, not fatal errors. Does the applet fail to load? Bart, Please attach the information requested on comment #4.
(In reply to comment #6) > Does the applet fail to load? Yes, the panel applet for version 0.9 fails to load, sorry for being vague. I don't really see how to go about debugging this thing. Since gnome-blog-0.9 application works (for me), pdb would be useless. I tried strace on gnome-panel, but it just gave me a LOT of gtk-related events, with one of them being something like "print ** (gnome-panel:12074): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1240: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_BlogApplet:..."(just like the message I posted above). I don't know if gdb is going to help, since gnome-panel itself does not fail(as it seems), only the gtk-binded python applet does. So, Leonardo, if you have any ideas on how I can provide more information, feel free to suggest it.
can you try to re-emerge gnome-applets to see if that fixes the OAFIID problem?
the application works flawlessly now. the applet fails to load because of missing python module gnome.applet. The module has been moved from gnome-python to gnome-python-extras, which is not in portage. An ebuild is proposed in bug 93504 -- http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93504 . I am afraid it is impossible to see of gnome-blog applet works without that package. Can someone change the severity of that bug to "blocker", please?
I have installed gnome-python-extras 2.11.2 using an ebuild from bug 93504. Gnome-blog application works, but gnome-blog applet fails to load with the same error as before. Am I the only one experiencing this problem?
the .server file has an incorrect path set.
(In reply to comment #11) > the .server file has an incorrect path set. thanks, any quick way to fix that?
Thanks for the hint foser, I've committed a fix for this. Rouslan, could you please test gnome-blog-0.9 again? Make sure to update your tree and check that the fix's been propagated.
Everything works very well now. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
