[CentOS] help with bonobo

2009-09-09 Thread Jerry Geis
This morning I am getting a message on my screen that:

There was a problem registering the panel with the bonobo-activation 
server error code is 1

It further suggests run bonobo-slay to perhaps take care of the situation.
When I run bonobo-slay it says:

 bonobo-slay

Can not open directory /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
No such file or directory


What do I do now?
Thanks,

Jerry

You consider providing a bit more detail as to what you were doing
when you got that message, whether it happens every time, if it
appears to be related to something specific (every time I start
firefox, I get X), any packages you've changed from the default, etc.
.

What you've given us isn't really enough information to provide any
functional help.

Jim,

Only thing I did last was a yum update... on centos 5 x86_64.
This happens every time I reboot.

once I hit the OK button it looks like everything still comes up and 
runs as normal.

I was hoping that based on the output of the bonobo-slay someone might
new what to do...

Thanks,

Jerry

On that output, not so much. The output directly below it is a bit
more helpful. Your system seems to think that /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
doesn't exist. You could check to see if it is actually there. It
could also be some multi-arch related issue, since you mention x86_64
and that's the 32bit path.

However as before, you're not really telling us anything overly
useful. You've not mentioned versions of software, whether this is
after you log in or prior to. Which manager you're using (gdm vs kdm)
or which gui where you're seeing this. You're not giving anyone enough
detail to move any real direction to help you.

You've given just about enough information about your problem to get
the typical helldesk response of 'Is your computer ON?'

Lets dig a little deaper...

I am using gnome and gdm.

 bonobo-slay  gives:

Can not open directory /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
No such file or directory

[r...@am2mm ~]# ls /usr/lib/bonobo
ls: /usr/lib/bonobo: No such file or directory


This machine auto logs on, X windows starts and I see this error 
message, a few seconds later
my application starts up as normal .

 rpm -qa | grep bonobo
libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6
libbonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6
libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6
libbonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6
gnome-python2-bonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6

There is a /usr/lib64/bonobo/servers directory.

Why is the 32 bit version starting (it would seem) and how do I stop it?

Thanks,

Jerry

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM

Do step 1 (or drop it into /etc/rpm/macros.local so it applies to all users)

then remove the i386 versions of those packages (they should now be
visible as libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6.i386 etc).

 Jim,
 
 I removed the (2) packages that were i386.
 I rebooted the box and the same message pops up.
 I logged back in and did:
 
  rpm -qa | grep bonobo
 libbonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64
 libbonoboui-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64
 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64
 
 
 So now only the 64bit packages are present. (note: I did rpm -e --nodeps 
 package to remove the 32 bit ones)

bad idea (nodeps)...
you should probably reinstall them and then either leave them, or remove 
whatever depends on them. Otherwise chances are whatever depends on them 
will be broken on your system.
It's not related to your current problem, but maybe to one of your next 
posts to the list ;-)


 I then did:
  bonobo-slay
 
 Can not open directory /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
 No such file or directory
 
 Does it still think its 32 bit based on the directory given?
 What might the next step be?

/usr/bin/bonobo-slay is a perl script, clearly buggy wrt 64-bit (that 
path is hard-coded).
I have no idea what it does, bonobo is a monkey to me, but you could try 
fixing that script. You might also consider filing a bug somewhere.
Whether fixing the script would solve your problem is another 
question... But it may be worth a try.
