Description Dirk Salewski 2009-03-17 07:02:07 UTC
Since upgrading gnome to 2.24 the tracker-module in deskbar ceased working. Starting deskbar from the commandline via /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w gives: 

<lots of stuff>
03-17 07:47:10 deskbar.core.ModuleLoader ERROR    Error loading the file: /usr/lib64/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/tracker-module.py.
03-17 07:47:10 deskbar.core.ModuleLoader ERROR    problem in /usr/lib64/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/tracker-module.py - <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named gnomedesktop
<more stuff>

I experimented with changing the line 14 in /usr/lib64/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/tracker-module.py to gnome-desktop, gnome.desktop and gnome_desktop, but only commenting out this line made the module run again. Flawlessly, as far as I can tell so far.

Do you have dev-python/gnome-desktop-python installed ? If so which version, if not, could you install it and report if it fixes your problem ?
Comment 2 Dirk Salewski 2009-03-19 06:01:32 UTC
(In reply to comment #1)
Yes, I do. The version is 2.24.1.
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-21 11:53:57 UTC
ok, looks like a huge typo went undetected all this time. Will be fixed in 2.24.3-r1.
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-21 12:19:50 UTC
In fact this is a tracker bug.
Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-10 23:24:03 UTC
keeping this bug open since tracker-0.7 still has deskbar applet but it's not been ported to new API
Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-05-14 17:55:27 UTC
closing this bug as upstream simply dropped deskbar module in 0.8.x releases.
