Title: abiword wont launch

Now after downloading abiword tcz ,installed, click the wbar icon and nothing?

Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 07:06:34 AM: What happens if you try to launch from a terminal (type "abiword")?

Post by: bmarkus on October 06, 2009, 07:24:21 AM: When I checked few month ago ABIWORD I have seen it overwrote DBUS system config and caused incompatibility issues. Sorry I forgot to report it, I was busy with many other stuff.

I guess it is a DBUS related issue due to DBUS locations changed.

Post by: Juanito on October 06, 2009, 07:32:12 AM: It's true that /etc/dbus-1 moved to /usr/local/etc/dbus-1, but it should write it's own dbus config file rather than overwriting the dbus config, no?

Yes, placed into the system.d directory same way as HAL.

Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 08:07:37 AM: Abiword is compiled without dbus. So unless it's doing something weird without libdbus..

Post by: perthie on October 06, 2009, 08:11:42 AM: Abiword is now missing libgsf. When I try to install it separately, some key files are still missing.
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: Juanito on October 06, 2009, 08:30:52 AM: Ah - I split the old librsvg.tczl extension into it's component parts - libcroco, libgsf, librsvg - maybe this could be the problem?
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 08:40:24 AM: Things change fast 'round here :P Added libgsf and libcroco to .dep. Abiword starts on a base norestore 2.4rc4.
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: Juanito on October 06, 2009, 08:44:14 AM: ..my fault, I should have caught that. I'll double-check for similar cases.
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 08:50:48 AM: Maybe we should start acting like the big software vendors. No big changes without an advance notice of a month, then provide backwards compatibility for 5 years. And since we have access to all software in our repo, automated reports about what needs changing, when and how. And maybe testing, QA and QC.

;)

ie. These things happen.

Post by: enoch on October 06, 2009, 08:51:28 AM: typing abiword in a terminal yields error while loading shared libraries: libgsf-1.so.114
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 08:54:58 AM: Please retry with the updated abiword.tcz:

rm /usr/local/tce.installed/abiword
tce-load -w -i abiword.tcz
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: perthie on October 06, 2009, 08:59:02 AM: I'm seeing the same thing as enoch using "base norestore". Is the libgsf package corrupted?
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: bmarkus on October 06, 2009, 09:24:01 AM: Sorry, I'm stupid. Talking without checking first what I'm saying :-\

It is not ABIWORD, it is GNUMERIC with DBUS setup.
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: perthie on October 06, 2009, 09:49:54 AM: I repackaged libgsf.tczl and installed it locally. Abiword now works for me.
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: Juanito on October 06, 2009, 10:01:22 AM: Is there a problem with the libgsf extension? It works for me with other apps.
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: perthie on October 06, 2009, 10:22:30 AM: I tried once again to confirm this.

Booted 2.4rc4 with base norestore

Installed Abiword

The files libgsf-1.so.114.x are missing.

Installed my repackaged libgsf.tczl.

Abiword works.

Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 10:34:04 AM: Can't reproduce, everything works for me since the dep update. Are you using a mirror?

No, and I'm still getting the same negative result on several machines. I guess someone else will have to weigh in with a test run.

Here's what I get:

"abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libgsf-1.so.114: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Title: Re: abiword wont launch
Post by: curaga on October 06, 2009, 02:04:31 PM: Are you installing to ram? Maybe that is a factor, I used the conventional tcz way, mounting..

Edit: Well, how nice. GNU cpio as in 2.4rc4 segfaults when loading libgsf to ram.

(http://i38.tinypic.com/b5i0pt.png)

GNU cpio is no longer used, but it should be checked with busybox cpio. And also if it's because of cpio, or the script.

edit 2. Busybox cpio is more verbose about it: short read, I/O error. The libgsf extension is corrupted, and the corruption is in the dev headers, that's why abiword runs when mounted.

Yes. I thought that was now the conventional way to load tcz's in 2.4.

All I did to fix libgsf was un-squash it (there were some errors) and re-squash it.

It's still a choice - of load time, ram use, speed after load, plain preference for either. This choice isn't going away anytime soon.

That would leave the affected files corrupted. If the tcel is still fine, then it can be used, if not, it would need a rebuild.

Fair enough. But it's important that both methods are tried during the testing of a new package.

Actually, I believe the corrupted files got dropped during the un-squash phase. So my re-squashed version was clean (but incomplete).
