I had the same problem. I run Gutsy with all the latest updates. D-bus is running and everything. But f-spot wouldn't start. No visual feedback when started with the launcher, when I run it from the console I got this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ f-spot Initializing Mono.Addins Starting new FSpot server XXXXX System.NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required. at FSpot.Database.Updater+Version..ctor (System.String version) [0x00000] at FSpot.Database.Updater.Run (.Db database) [0x00000] at Db.Init (System.String path, Boolean create_if_missing) [0x00000] at FSpot.Core.get_Database () [0x00000] at FSpot.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] XXXXX Can't get a connection to the dbus. Trying again... Starting new FSpot server Can't get a connection to the dbus. Trying again... Starting new FSpot server ...and so on.. (loop) I was able to fix this by deleting my f-spot folder (rm -rf ~/.gnome2/f-spot ). Fortunately I didn't have any data in the f-spot database. I didn't investigate this further. Now it's running properly. This probably only happens when dist-upgrading from feisty to gutsy. I think it's a serious problem for someone upgrading to gutsy to find that they can't start f-spot. F-spot is one of the most important applications (since it's in the default ubuntu desktop), so stuff like this shouldn't stop working after an upgrade. It's easy enough to fix, but probably not for a novice user. -- F-spot fails to load - Can't get a connection to the dbus..trying again https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
