Bug 293117 – gnome-extra/gnome-do-0.8.2: doesn't see my applications.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Diego Flórez 2009-11-13 20:35:27 UTC]

When I launch gnome-do, this error message appear on terminal: "Could not load desktop item: libgnome-desktop-2.so.7".



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. execute $ gnome-do 
2. Appear the error message

Actual Results:  
I can't launch any application from gnome-do

Expected Results:  
Gnome-do should show me the installed applications, like firefox, gnome-terminal....

I doesn't have installed gdm, or any other display manager.
I emerged gnome-base/gnome-light-2.26.3 instead complete installation of gnome.

The file missing "libgnome- desktop-2.so" belongs to gnome-base/gnome-desktop package, which is already installed.

Actually I had re-emerged gnome-light whit all it's dependencies and gnome-do, but the problem is still present.

Use revdep-rebuild.

Same problem here.
It is true, that file libgnome-desktop-2.so belongs to gnome-base/gnome-desktop, but there is not actually requested version libgnome-desktop-2.so.7.

$ equery belongs libgnome-desktop-2.so       
[ Searching for file(s) libgnome-desktop-2.so in *... ]
gnome-base/gnome-desktop-2.26.3 (/usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so -> libgnome-desktop-2.so.11.2.6)

$ ls -lah /usr/lib | grep -i libgnome-desktop

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  140K Nov 20 20:11 libgnome-desktop-2.so.11.2.6

According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477940 there is a wrong dll map for libgnome-desktop. 

$ cat /usr/lib/mono/gac/gnomedesktop-sharp/2.20.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gnomedesktop-sharp.dll.config
<configuration>
  <dllmap dll="libglib-2.0-0.dll" target="libglib-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgobject-2.0-0.dll" target="libgobject-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgthread-2.0-0.dll" target="libgthread-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll" target="libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="gnome-desktop-2" target="libgnome-desktop-2.so.7"/>
</configuration>

I replaced libgnome-desktop-2.so.7 with libgnome-desktop-2.so in config file, restarted X and the error message does not appeared.

Thanks!!! That really has solved the problem.

I had solved this by: ln -s usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so.7 

But your solution looks cleaner than mine.

Really Thanks

upgrading to dev-dotnet/gnome-desktop-sharp-2.26.0 solve the problem probably in the right (and simpler way)...
