[Bug 775387] Re: Invest-applet fails to start after upgrade to Natty
Not only does it fail to start - but if you insist on adding invest- applet to the panel, it turns out, a process is spawned in the background anyway; and at that, a process that you cannot kill - because it respawns itself; this is what I get on Natty: $ ps axf | grep -i inve 1846 ?Sl 0:00 python /usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=26 8115 pts/0S+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=tty -i inve $ kill 1846 # and say Delete to The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Invest_Applet. # still a new process is spawned $ ps axf | grep -i inve 8350 pts/0R+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=tty -i inve 8190 ?Sl 0:00 python /usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=26 and that sort of stuff persists after reboot. So, this is the procedure that I did to finally clean it up: # look up invest applet via gconf panel/applets: $ grep -ri invest $(find ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/ -type f) ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_9/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_19/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_13/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_10/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_17/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_14/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_7/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_11/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_6/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_21/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_18/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_20/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_15/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_5/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_12/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_16/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_22/%gconf.xml: stringvalueOAFIID:Invest_Applet/stringvalue # collect dirs where invest applet has been stored: $INVDIRS=$(for ix in $(grep --files-with-matches -ri invest $(find ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/ -type f)) ; do iz=$(dirname $ix); echo $iz; done) $ echo $INVDIRS ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_9 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_19 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_13 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_10 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_17 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_14 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_7 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_11 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_6 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_21 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_18 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_20 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_15 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_5 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_12 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_16 ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/applet_22 # http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tiphow-to-restore-accidently-deleted-top-panel-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html # gconftool-2 --shutdown # rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel # since we cannot kill invest applet; go down to shell # sudo telinit 1?

[Bug 775387] Re: Invest-applet fails to start after upgrade to Natty
Well, I don't really care about investing, but this seemed like a python example for an applet which I wanted to study - so after some fiddling around, I finally got (at least) the `/usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest- applet -d --window` to show an icon and preference window. (goddamn capitalists, using my labor, hehe :) ) Here's a pic: http://sdaaubckp.sourceforge.net/post/gnome/invest-applet-natty.png The thing is - I basically went along with errors I saw, and tried to modify them. First of, I got a working Python applet example from here: http://www.znasibov.info/blog/post/gnome-applet-with-python-part-1.html ... and changed `PanelApplet.Applet()` into `gnomeapplet.Applet()`; apart from that, there are modifications going from `Gtk.` to `gtk.` (e.g. `app = Gtk.Window(Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL)` - `app = gtk.Window()`). Then, I found this, where it seems that someone already tried to patch `invest-applet` for natty: https://code.launchpad.net/~rodrigo-moya/ubuntu/natty/gnome-applets/no- more-deprecated/+merge/41494 but seemingly, I had _reverted_ some of those changes - to get it working again with my 11.04 Natty? I'm not sure if this is due to different gtk bindings for different Pythons; I think I may have seen somewhere, that `Gtk` is for Python 3 - however, that makes the above `no-more-deprecated` posting a little weird, because the default Python in Natty is 2.7 ???! Therefore - the patch is *really* nasty, as it mixes `gi.repository` and `gtk` imports - but it's basically a proof of concept, I guess... Also - I just tried to add this patched version to panel; again there is no icon visible on panel (that could be due to me not converting every single pixbuf call; see patch) - however, one positive thing is that after that attempt, while `ps axf | grep invest` does still show the process in the background, it takes only a single `kill $pid` in order to get it removed (so no single user mode mess like in previous post). With the original version, even the standalone debug couldn't be killed with Ctrl-C (I had to do a `ps axf` and `kill $pid` in another terminal, to stop the process). I didn't try fixing anything beyond the starting icon in standalone debug mode, and the preferences window which is raised upon click of that icon (as shown in screenshot). Still, hope this will be helpful to others... PS: I'll dump a few dev notes (obtained during patch development) here as well: invest-applet works w/ from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk, PanelApplet others: import gnomeapplet $ activation-client -q -s iid.defined() | grep ^IID | grep -i invest IID OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory, type exe, location /usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest-applet IID OAFIID:Invest_Applet, type factory, location OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory IID OAFIID:GNOME_GtikApplet, type factory, location OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory $ find / -xdev -name '*invest*' 2/dev/null | grep py /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/invest /usr/share/pyshared/invest $ ls -la /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/invest total 96 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-04-25 20:57 . drwxr-xr-x 66 root root 4096 2013-03-26 17:39 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root35 2011-04-25 20:57 about.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/about.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1568 2011-04-25 20:57 about.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root36 2011-04-25 20:57 applet.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/applet.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7052 2011-04-25 20:57 applet.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root35 2011-04-25 20:57 chart.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/chart.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8066 2011-04-25 20:57 chart.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root40 2011-04-25 20:57 currencies.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/currencies.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5548 2011-04-25 20:57 currencies.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root34 2011-04-25 20:57 defs.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/defs.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 486 2011-04-25 20:57 defs.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root34 2011-04-25 20:57 help.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/help.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 676 2011-04-25 20:57 help.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root38 2011-04-25 20:57 __init__.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/__init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5205 2011-04-25 20:57 __init__.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root44 2011-04-25 20:57 networkmanager.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/networkmanager.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2463 2011-04-25 20:57 networkmanager.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root41 2011-04-25 20:57 preferences.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/preferences.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10982 2011-04-25 20:57 preferences.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root36 2011-04-25 20:57 quotes.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/quotes.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12786 2011-04-25 20:57 quotes.pyc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root37 2011-04-25 20:57 widgets.py - /usr/share/pyshared/invest/widgets.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8547 2011-04-25 20:57 widgets.pyc # so in /usr/share/pyshared/invest/ $ grep -r PanelApplet /usr/share/pyshared/invest
[Bug 775387] Re: Invest-applet fails to start after upgrade to Natty
Ah, one more - for the patched version above, to get the icon to show in
panel via Add to Panel, or via command line (check the name of the
panels first via `ls ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels`):
python /usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome-panel-add
--applet=OAFIID:Invest_Applet --panel=panel_0
... just change the line (in /usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest-applet):
gnomeapplet.bonobo_factory('OAFIID:Invest_Applet',
... into:
gnomeapplet.bonobo_factory('OAFIID:Invest_Applet_Factory',
