I have the same problem than you. I tried to start gdesklet with "python -vd" and that gave me the following result :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python -vd /usr/bin/gdesklets _________________snip__________________________ === Unhandled error! Something bad and unexpected happened. === [EXC] in /usr/bin/gdesklets: line 393 <module> in /usr/bin/gdesklets: line 268 parse_command in /usr/bin/gdesklets: line 177 __open_profile in /usr/bin/gdesklets: line 167 __client_daemon in /usr/lib/gdesklets/main/client.py: line 208 set_remove_command in /usr/lib/gdesklets/main/client.py: line 38 __send in /usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/xdr.py: line 75 recv [EXC]/usr/lib/gdesklets/utils/xdr.py [---] 70 chunk = "" [---] 71 while (True): [---] 72 try: [---] 73 length = ord(s.recv(1)) [---] 74 except: [ERR]> 75 raise XDRError [---] 76 [---] 77 if (length): chunk += s.recv(length) [---] 78 [---] 79 flag = s.recv(1) [---] 80 if (flag == _CONT): continue [---] 81 _________________snip__________________________ The complete output is in the attachment, if necessary. It seems that 's' is null, but as I'm no python developer, I let more capable people determine what is the problem :) Hope that helps, and good luck for debugging ;) Regards, Joel. ** Attachment added: "output.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15895117/output.log -- gDesklets crashed with a python segfault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
