Cinnamon crashes instantly when adding GPaste applet #10
Comments
Can you please crash Cinnamon intentionally with my applet and then fetch and post the contents of the files |
Done: glass.log:
glass.log.last:

That's odd... it seems Cinnamon just crashes for no reason when it should load the applet. I think my applet actually might not be the cause of the crash because the log usually contains a corresponding error message if the applet contains errors. That's not the case here. Instead, the log just ends which indicates that Cinnamon crashes on a lower level. It might be an issue on your end, such as wrong file/directory permissions. Or maybe Cinnamon 3.6.7 introduces an incompatibility with my applet. In that case I'll have to wait until Cinnamon 3.6.7 becomes available in Manjaro's repositories. I'm still on version 3.6.6. |
Ok. I have other applets in the same directory as the GPaste applet, with the same permissions, and they all work. Or do you mean libgpaste or gir-gpaste? Can you help me with how I'd proceed to check what's wrong? I'd really appreciate it. I'd just hate to have to wait, it's easily one of the most addictive applets there is, but I understand if it's out of your scope to help me further at this point. Regards / Jesper |
Having thought about this, I actually don't know where a permission problem might manifest like that. Anyway, I forgot that there's another log that should be inspected: |
Ok, thanks for helping me. (I had to rename the log file to upload - github complained that it was hidden and that it didn't recognized the file type) |
This line is probably our culprit. If my old instructions are still correct, you need to install the packages "gpaste", "gpaste-applet" and "gir1.2-gpaste-4.0". Is that the case for you? If so, does GPaste's own GUI work? |
The packages "gpaste" and "gpaste-applet" weren't installed. After install I tried to enable your applet again, and cinnamon crashed. After restart of cinnamon I started the gpaste applet from the menu and it worked. I then tried again to enable your applet, and it looked like it superseded the one started from the menu (the icon changed colour from almost black to the light grey yours have always had (at least at my system...)), but when clicked the gui looked exactly the same as the one from the menu. I suppose you havn't changed it's appearance that much the recent months have you (most importantly it's a window now)? It's still useful of course, but a bit in the way. |
When GPaste is added to the panel it immediately crashes Cinnamon. Restart of Cinnamon solves nothing. Logout - login or restart of entire system doesn't either. Only when GPaste is removed from the panel does the crashes stop.
