I would recommend that people here use the recompiled version for Intrepid, courtesy Simone, @ https://launchpad.net/~simontol/+archive Simone's post above seems to have been largely ignored which is a shame as it seems to fix the problem currently. Don't forget to lock the Glipper version in Synaptic when installed to stop it nagging you constantly to upgrade. Glipper offers more functionality than Parcellite currently so it's my choice. I'd like to see Glipper properly maintained - Simone...? :) with bitmap captures added at some point. -- [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
Ok Glipper fans one thing I have seen discussed here as a means of finding out what is wrong with Glipper is the posting of the history file and looking at the history file.. So, why would the history file have anything to do with Glipper crashing on boot to desktop? The history file is readable writeable by the glipper applet/application, but Glipper dies when the gnome panel is starting. Another person here thought that when glipper copies anything that has a newline it causes Glipper to crash o... kaayy... I have not observed this I used Glipper at work for weeks without a crash using my original solution of starting glipper via startup on session load and this worked flawlessly for over a month of serious usage. I'm sure I had copied many new lines by that time. Then for whatever reason glipper died again on startup, I believe once I started using another package such as apache2 or vmware which was set to start on boot up. So again, no solution. Another thing someone mentioned was that selecting all in OO causes glipper to crash... but did not specify if the crash occurred when trying to copy the selected data or the crash occured just from doing a select all. The fact that Glipper uses threads could be an area to investigate if there is some kind of race condition or dead lock causing the crash on boot. Has anyone done any more testing on this bug?

[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
Hi, Thanks for the help everybody, I see now what a strange bug this is. I spent some time this morning reproducing this error, and though I could trigger it I couldn't find problems in the reading of the history file. I'll try again, but I don't know whether that will reveal anything. I don't want to upload the sleep() patch, as that won't fix it for everyone, and will just tend to slow things down. The try: patch would be more acceptable, but as the applet can be added once the session is up and running it seems that it would only lose things from the history when it doesn't need to. Writing this made me realise that this could well be caused by reading from the file from two different threads, and I have just checked and the applet does indeed use threads, so that would be an avenue worthy of investigation.

Re: [Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
Hi Marco, Yes, you're right about the softlink. It was not necessary as Simone also mentioned earlier in this mailing list. Glipper used to be an application instead of an applet, that's why I thought I thought the glipper executable should be found in the PATH initially. However, yes you can just use the path to the executable for this workaround it should be fine. Note that if this doesn't work and you still would like to use Glipper, you may also try the sleep time fix that is also mentioned on this mailing list. Again these are workarounds and some do not work for others. I have since stopped using Glipper because whenever I have used it lately it has been eating up my CPU to about 85% as soon as I copy anything into my clipboard. I am now trying Klipper which is the KDE equivalent. Others have noted that Parcelite is another similar tool which can manage your clipboard. Please let us know if you find any other solution to this as it is an indespensable tool.

Re: [Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
I tried the sugguested workaround and it did not work. As soon as I copy
something to the clipboard Glipper begins Glipping out and eating about 85%
of my CPU bogging down everything else on the system. I also start Glipper
from the command line to see any output that can help trace down the issue,
but the line *print readline() gaves none int back + str(length)* in
the following change never prints which indicates an exception is not raised
here. I have started using Klipper for now, but I will check back on Glipper
to help debug this annoying problem. Glipper's popup is more appealing than
Klipper's since it does not also contain several options which get in the
way of selecting your current history item. If anyone knows of a clipboard
manager that also has hot keys to move forward and back through history
please let us know.

Can this be a real fix for this problem? I am not a Python expert, but it
seems there is common confusion about how readline works:

[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
Simone: You are right, if it is supposed to be a panel applet we don't need it to be in /usr/bin/. Actually that soft link I sugguested is irrelavent. However, I was not presenting that fix as a path only issue. From reading all the posts here it appears that glipper starts before some arbitrary resource is available. So, by adding the glipper executable /usr/lib/glipper/glipper to startup programs in System Preferences Sessions we can ensure that it will start in a reliable order once it's required resource is available. There are other applets which startup in Session Startup Programs as well. Of course as others have done we could just hard code a sleep time of 8 to 30 seconds into glipper to rig it to work, however this is not a reliable solution since your system may change the amount of time required to startup occasionally and cause something else to out synch glippers startup once again. Perhaps this would be the simplest solution to fixing this applet without having to dive into code. ...If your lazy and you know it click your mouse hehe... -- [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
I have fixed the glipper start up problem with an easier solution. First of all after installing 'glipper' with 'sudo apt-get install glipper' when we do a 'which glipper' we see that it is not found in the PATH. Hmm interesting... When I do a 'whereis glipper' it shows... glipper: /usr/lib/glipper /usr/share/glipper Then it is not available unless the full path is specified... so, here is the solution. We want to create a soft link to a new /usr/bin/glipper from /usr/lib/glipper/glipper. This will allow glipper to be found in our existing path. 1) First create a soft link to the glipper executable... sudo ln -s -T /usr/lib/glipper/glipper /usr/bin/glipper now if you do a 'which glipper' you will see it is found at /usr/bin/glipper 2) Of course we know that glipper is supposed to be a gnome applet, however it will still have the The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Glipper problem unless we ensure it will start properly from /usr/bin/glipper so... go to System Preferences Sessions and on the Startup Programs tab click the +Add button 3) With the Add Startup Program box open Name: glipper Command: /usr/bin/glipper Comment: Glipper Clipboard Manager etc ...and click OK 4) now, we want the applet to start so... right click your panel and select Clipboard manager then +Add button 5) ok you are pretty much done. To make sure everything is good to go on startup, restart your computer and you will have glipper available on your Gnome panel... the Glipper pop-up shortcut is ctrl+alt+c so make sure you did not set those keys for another shortcut combo. 6) Done..! Hope that helps every one who wants to use Glipper on Ubuntu Hardy Heron... it's a great simple tool..!

[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
Hmm... looks like the message trail for this bug entry treats two bugs: - one about glipper having trouble reading stuff from a .glipper directory after upgrading (which has nothing to do with gnome panel, as you have to delete the .glipper directory for things to work out) -- looks like what is being said in the description; and - another about glipper starting up (which I tied to gnome panel rather than being glipper's fault, because it works if you log out and then log back in without deleting the .glipper directory, yet adding a small(!) delay at the top of the script) -- which is mentioned when the time.sleep(8) workaround is suggested; At first I had the first issue, deleted the .glipper directory, and the problem was solved forever. Then the second mentioned issue crawled in. I renamed /usr/lib/glipper/glipper to glipper.real and put a bash script named glipper in its place, which looks like this: #!/bin/bash exec 1 (tee /tmp/glipper.out) 2 (tee /tmp/glipper.err) exec /usr/lib/glipper/glipper.real $@ So now I have this text in both glipper.out and glipper.err: Bonobo-Activation-ERROR **: This process has not registered the required OAFIID your source code should register 'OAFIID:Glipper_Factory'. If your code is performing delayed registration and this message is trapped in error, see bonobo_activation_idle_reg_check_set. aborting... With glipper.out also having a line saying SHARED_DATA_DIR: /usr/share/glipper before this message. And there's no stack trace in any of those files. Unless glipper is killed because of its failure to start (on grounds that failure cannot be tolerated perhaps), a stack trace should show up if one was printed by python. So I logged out, logged back in, glipper started this time, and I have the normal messages in glipper.out and glipper.err: ** (glipper.real:6500): WARNING **: Binding 'CtrlAltv' failed! which is normal, because I have that combination bound to something else. Sorry for turning the bug comments into a forum if I'm not supposed to do so, but it seems to me that something's not right with this entry, and debate about what should happen to it (possibly split it? send part of it to gnome-panel?). Wish I knew that that Bonobo error meant, so I could dig deeper before posting something to gnome-panel. -- [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
Andrew, it actually sounds like the same issue, generalized. The way I see it, the issue goes like this: Gnome panel starts the applets too early. Glipper is lucky enough to start faster than the rest of the applets, so it fails to start almost every first login after powering on the system. If you log out and log back in again, most of the stuff is already in RAM, and Gnome starts a lot faster, enough for the issue to no longer reproduce. The sleep(8) workaround mentioned above delays the startup of glipper. That, the way I see it, delays glipper enough so Gnome panel can set up its things. Well, until you get Gnome to start even more slowly, like I did, in which case that sleep(8) doesn't fix the issue (unless you increase it to a bigger value), and you get the failure to start again. That's what happened to me anyway. One day, after I had glipper removed, Gnome decided to take a heck of a lot more time to boot. The effect? The same bug reported for glipper here manifested for most of the other applets. That means I was kindly offered to delete everything from the menu to the clock applet :) This happened only once, but I think I can add something that can slow down gnome panel's startup time and reproduce this issue reliably. I also took a crash course in python the past few days, and glipper's code doesn't seem to have any bug related to its startup problem in it. The problem can occur in the bonobo initialization part, which is outside of glipper's control. I didn't read all the code though, so I can't say 100% sure that what I just said is right, but chances are high that it is. This makes me think that this bug should be renamed and assigned to gnome panel. Can you see my logic in here?

That sleep worked for me for a while too. Then I have no idea what I did, but at login, my drive is getting hammered, enough to make that sleep useless. I happen to be seeing trackerd using a lot of CPU at login, so I wonder if that has anything to do with the delay. Is there a way to start the applet in debug mode to see where exactly does it crash? It's only 123 lines long, so it can't be that hard to debug it, can it? -- [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

probably the same workaround as SXW's but i can get it running by simply logging out and logging in again... it works then. only the first login is problematic. SXW's approach is less user-involving but on the long run one should find out what service glipper is expecting and explicitly wait for it. -- [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting
I have a temporary fix for this problem. The fact that it happens sometimes led me to believe that apparently there is some daemon or environment that has not been started yet at the moment that Glipper loads (so, Glipper is too fast with starting). So I added a wait period in the starting of Glipper, and that fixed the problem. The time- out is in itself not a problem, I don't mind that Glipper starts for instance half a minute later, as long as I do not have to re-add it every time I boot my laptop. So what to do: Look up Glipper and add a wait statement: sudo gedit /usr/lib/glipper/glipper Make sure the code in the beginning looks like this: #!/usr/bin/env python # Glipper - Clipboardmanager for GNOME # Copyright (C) 2007 Glipper Team # bla bla bla # License along with this library; if not, write to the # Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, # Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. # import time # -- This line is new time.sleep(8) # -- This line is new.
