Exception after installing Tomboy 1.10

Luís de Sousa — 2012-05-10T07:35:16

Dear all,

I had Tomboy 1.8 running on Ubuntu and by some reason I
couldn't synchronise my notes with Ubuntu One. Consulting at the chat I was
advised to install version 1.10. After a few failed tries to install it
alongside the old version, yesterday I completely removed Tomboy with the
Software Centre and made a clean install of version 1.10; I got no errors
in the process.

The problem is that Tomboy 1.10 doesn't run, I get the exception reproduced
below. What's wrong? Any way I can get more information to trace the
problem?

Thank you,

Luís

update on UbuntuOne notes sync?

Brian Repko — 2012-05-09T22:17:53

So the Ubuntu One status wiki
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status) says that notes sync
is not working.
Its been down for almost 4 days.  How does one get an update on
the status from UbuntuOne?

Fwd: Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Alemann Massho — 2012-05-09T21:59:32

OK, got it. I don't think that it's a Unity bug, though, I think it is
just a problem with my configuration -- my hard drive failed and I ran a
rescue livecd, perhaps a file got corrupted somewhere. Since so many
people use Unity and I haven't encountered anyone with this problem so
far, I think it only affects my computer.

Anyway, I am now using Gnome Shell and I have found that I like it
better than Unity, so I'll keep it. Tomboy from git now runs fine,
without any problems. Thanks a lot for all of your help and know-how!

Thanks,
A. Massho

Chow Loong Jin — 2012-05-08T02:57:31

Yes, that's it. When you start Unity, you need to make sure you start it from a
process that inherits from the gnome-session process, or otherwise set the
environment variables yourself. The ones that seem important are
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, XDG_SESSION_COOKIE, SESSION_MANAGER,
GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET, GPG_AGENT_INFO, SSH_AUTH_SOCK, XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY.

You're better off filing a bug on Unity regarding this.

Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Alemann Massho — 2012-05-08T02:20:20

Well, if that's true, then maybe I have found the source of my problem.
On my computer, there is for some strange reason a bug, that I have
tried for about three quarters of a year to fix, where Unity doesn't
start automatically when I log in (from gdm, lightdm, xdm, or kdm.) My
problem is described well in
http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/04/missing-top-and-side-panels-in-unity.html.
So I always just log in to tty1 and run unity there. So maybe unity is
inheriting the variables from the tty shell I am starting it from; and
because the variable is not set in that shell, Unity doesn't know about
it and can't make it available to processes run in gnome-terminal which
I have used to run tomboy? This seems to make sense, because the _only_
programs that get the impression that D-Bus isn't running are the
programs that are child processes of unity and by extension tty1!  This
also makes sense to me because I recall encountering a similar error a
short time after Unity stopped launching by default. Of course, if thi

Re: Tomboy notes used from Linux Mint

Luca Nanetti — 2012-05-07T17:29:27

Dear all,
my two cent tip:
- create a folder in Ubuntu One, for instance my_notes
- set Tomboy to sync with a local folder, choose ~/Documents/Ubuntu 
One/my_notes

It works beautifully on Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04.

Kind regards,
luca

The word is that there is an issue on Ubuntu's side and they are working on

Re: unable to sync

Robert Nordan — 2012-05-07T14:13:29

I just tried to sync manually and got the same error in my logs as Brian
has here and Timo in the "Re: [tomboy-list] Tomboy notes used from Linux
Mint" thread. Looks like the error is supressed during autosync, because
I haven't noticed anything wrong before now. I think perhaps it's Ubuntu
One's servers that are messing up. (Time to switch fulltime to Snowy...)

Can anyone using Tomboy on Ubuntu try starting a manual sync and see
what happens?

unable to sync

Brian Repko — 2012-05-07T13:46:06

Windows XP - version 1.4.2 was installed.
Sync has stopped working with OAuth 500 server errors for a
couple days now.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.6, 1.8 and 1.9
MSIs and nothing is working (either errors getting sync
configured or sync not working).

Code for 1.10.1 is almost a month old - do we have an MSI for it?

Thanks!
Brian

Re: Tomboy notes used from Linux Mint

Timo-Tuomas Koivisto — 2012-05-07T11:15:21

Ok, thanks for the reply. It is good to hear it "works" in every
distro/platform.  

I did know how to set it up but it does not work. Only some of the notes
get synchronized. It is not ubuntu.one server either because my other
Ubuntus work fine and I tested this for several days already. 

Maybe it is because of the old version in Mint repository (1.8.3) and
not the newest 10.1.1 like in Ubuntu repos. I tried to install 10.1.1
from the source but there is just too many unsatisfied depencies that I
gave up. So it would be nice to have a 10.1.1 package to Mint repos.

Chow Loong Jin — 2012-05-07T07:08:02

Where are you starting your terminal from? I believe dbus-launch exports the
variables by default, so if you start your terminal (and consequently the shell)
from Unity, you should have it set. Otherwise, you can try looking for the
correct values in ~/.dbus/session-bus/, and sourcing it into your terminal.

Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Alemann Massho — 2012-05-07T02:39:08

I really don't know why it's unset. When I set and then unset the
variable in a terminal, nothing happens. When I "sudo service dbus
stop," I crash my system. That could be the system bus, I guess. Killing
the session bus also kills my DE, as expected. It seems like the session
bus is spawned when I log in with "/usr/bin/dbus-launch
--exit-with-session gnome-session --session=ubuntu." Could the problem
be that my session bus is launched using dbus-launch? Earlier you said
that dbus-launch doesn't do enough to start the message bus, as I
recall. Do you know what program should set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in
the login process?

I can't find anything interesting relating to D-Bus in any of my logs.

Thanks,
A. Massho

Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Chow Loong Jin — 2012-05-06T21:38:53

Nope, it's definitely the session bus. When I unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,
the system Tomboy crashes immediately.

I run Unity too, and my DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable is set.
How did you end up with it unset?

Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Alemann Massho — 2012-05-06T16:56:29

I am running Unity as my DE. I'm really not sure why Tomboy compiled
from source is complaining: I have the stable version of Tomboy
installed on my system, and it starts up fine every day. I assume that
the stable version I have requires a D-Bus connection as well?


When I say "nothing appearing," I mean that nothing shows up in the
panel too. Is this because I am running Unity and it does not support
the same system indicators? Do I need a special version to run Tomboy on
unity?

andrew< at >oxurtia:~$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS 

andrew< at >oxurtia:~$ 

This seems to indicate that I have no D-Bus runnning, but ps -e | grep
dbus says otherwise, and when I run dbus-monitor --session, thousands of
lines pour out when I click buttons, etc.

Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Chow Loong Jin — 2012-05-06T08:57:27


Are you running this in a desktop environment, say GNOME? If you are, then you
should already have a D-Bus session bus running, and this is redundant. You can
check for its presence by checking the $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable in the
terminal: echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.

As for "nothing appearing".. I haven't actually tried running Tomboy from
sources, but when you run the one from the package, it just puts an application
indicator on the panel along the top right of the screen.

Re: compiling/running issues on Ubuntu 11.10

Alemann Massho — 2012-05-06T04:48:26

I'm pretty sure I have a session running. In fact, two of them!

This is right after reboot, I didn't do anything before running that
command.
