** Description changed: [Impact] While gnome-font-viewer can be started from command line, it fails to - start via the .desktop file. As can be seen in comment #3, it seems to - be related to DBus somehow. - - The problem is not present in version 3.20.2-1 in yakkety. Probably it - was fixed via this commit: + start via the .desktop file.

Consequently the proposal is to - backport the yakkety version as an SRU. It's built in this PPA: - - https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/font-viewer - - and there are no runtime dependency blockers. + The attached patch cherry picks that commit. [Test Case] Try to start gnome-font-viewer from the Dash and find that the launch fails. After having installed the proposed upload, starting the application from the Dash works fine. [Regression Potential] gnome-font-viewer is an independent tool, which doesn't affect other parts of the system. Hence the regression risk should be low. [Original description] Ubuntu 16.04.1 Fully updated. $ gnome-font-viewer --version GNOME Font Viewer 3.16.2 - starting from command-line: no problems. - starting from dash: application is shown in launcher but kills itself. - /var/log/syslog shows ...
