Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-do
When I'm adding Transmission to the Docky items, Do won't start the next time. Here is the snippet of --debug (I'm ataching the whole output, but that's the part that shows the problem): [Error 10:39:29.458] Error in RunOnMainThread: Path is too long. Path: BitTorrent клиент Transmission: Скачивайте и обменивайтесь файлами в сети BitTorrent (Do.Universe.Linux.ApplicationItem) [Debug 10:39:29.460] at System.IO.Directory.Exists (System.String path) [0x00000] at Docky.Core.Default.ItemsService.MaybeCreateCustomItem (System.String& identifier) [0x00000] at Docky.Core.Default.ItemsService.InternalAddItemToDock (System.String identifier, Int32 position) [0x00000] at Docky.Core.Default.ItemsService.UpdateItems () [0x00000] at Docky.Core.Default.ItemsService.HandleUniverseInitialized (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] at (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.EventHandler:invoke_void__this___object_EventArgs (object,System.EventArgs) at Do.Core.UniverseManager.<InitializeAsync>m__1E () [0x00000] at Do.Platform.ApplicationService+<RunOnMainThread>c__AnonStorey10.<>m__28 (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] The string that is treated as path, is in fact the Comment in ru_RU locale of the Transmission .desktop file. Here is the .desktop file: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Name=Transmission BitTorrent Client GenericName=BitTorrent Client Comment=Download and share files over BitTorrent Exec=transmission %F Icon=transmission Terminal=false TryExec=transmission Type=Application MimeType=application/x-bittorrent; Categories=Network;FileTransfer;P2P;GTK; X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=transmission Icon[ru_RU]=transmission Name[ru_RU]=BitTorrent клиент Transmission Comment[ru_RU]=Скачивайте и обменивайтесь файлами в сети BitTorrent I've looked into Docky.Core.Default.ItemsService.MaybeCreateCustomItem() method: AbstractDockItem MaybeCreateCustomItem (ref string identifier) { ItemDockItem customItem = null; if (identifier.StartsWith ("file://")) identifier = identifier.Substring ("file://".Length); if (File.Exists (identifier) || Directory.Exists (identifier)) { if (identifier.EndsWith (".desktop")) { So that's where Directory.Exists fails because the path is very much incorrect - in fact, it obviously isn't a path. As far as I see, there are several possible fixes: 1) Add try..catch to code that treats the item identifier as path (the code snippet above) 2) Change the format of ItemsService_CustomItems so that each identifier there contains information about what type of item it represents: a file, a folder, a .desktop file or something other.
