Bug 284750 – app-crypt/seahorse-2.22.3: seahorse-agent dies on startup

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andrey Vihrov 2009-09-13 11:25:04 UTC]

seahorse-agent dies immediately after being started by gnome-session. Moreover, gnome-session doesn't wait on it and seahorse-agent process becomes a zombie.

Running seahorse-agent from command line outputs "** Message: Another GPG agent already running". Starting Gnome with empty home directory behaves the same.

The system affected is stable amd64, in particular, gnome-base/gnome is 2.24.1 and gnome-base/gnome-session is 2.22.3-r1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge Gnome
2. Start Gnome session

Actual Results:  
seahorse-agent dies.

Expected Results:  
Should function as designed.

please attach .xsession-errors and reopen.

[Comment 2 Andrey Vihrov 2009-09-13 12:49:21 UTC]

Created attachment 203928 [details]
.xsession-errors as produced by starting Gnome with empty home directory

Doesn't look so suspicious... If only the "1252845429.160951 Session manager: disconnected..." line.

[Comment 3 Andrey Vihrov 2009-09-13 12:51:05 UTC]

Reopening.

Could you log into a console before starting your graphical session and start seahorse-agent by hand, if it dies, please start it in gdb and provide a backtrace [1]

I don't know about the original poster, but I was also seeing this behavior on the same configuration (amd64, gnome 2.24, seahorse-2.22.3).  I debugged it down to the same problem as bug #281729 (improper initialization of gpgme 1.2.0).  The patch attached in that bug fixed this problem for me.

The patch fixes the problem indeed, thanks.
