Description aguador 2017-03-06 06:47:33 CET

The "mgaapplet" program crashed during boot. Drakbug-17.72 caught it.

Typelib file for namespace 'StatusNotifier', version '0.1' not found at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm line 108.

Internet access working properly. For E21 users, this error is not a problem, but the one reported in Bug 19344 is.

Can you post the output of `rpm -qa | grep statusnotifier`?

$ rpm -qa | grep statusnotifier
libstatusnotifier-gir0.1-0.1.0-3.mga6
libstatusnotifier0-0.1.0-3.mga6

The error popped in the automatic bug reporter this morning, so I did not think it though. It may be related to the fact that at the moment I do not have a functioning systray. (Xembed is no longer supported in E and I have not tried in the last year or so to load the libappindicator components that should produce a functional systray.

I see that libstatusnotifier is described as being KDE specific . . . or is it used by other DEs?

So I gather you have the 32-bit version of the library installed on a x86_64 system? That might be why Glib::Object::Introspection can't find it.

Can you confirm that replacing the above two libs by their lib64 equivalents fixes the error?

libstatusnotifier implements the SNI spec for the systray, and is so far only used on Plasma (other DEs still use the legacy XEmbed systray).

If E supports SNI, we could add it to the list of DEs that should use that version instead.

Just to be sure, can you check that you have Core Release (64-bit) enabled? If not that would explain the bug.

Another variant of it could have been that your Core Release (64-bit) repo was outdated when you got the update, and it picked the typelib(StatusNotifier) dependency in the up-to-date Core Release (32-bit) repo.

If that's the case, uninstalling mgaonline and libstatusnotifier{0,-gir0.1}, and installing mgaonline again should hopefully pull in the 64-bit libs.

If so that would just be a transient Cauldron bug due to mirrors being slow to sync, and hopefully no longer reproducible.

Weird, but it was, indeed, a repo update problem. The Core Release was correctly enabled. I have now removed the 32-bit versions (and drakconf, etc!), replaced them with the 64-bit, reinstalled drakconf, etc. and all is well.

I updated a second 64-bit system today with no problem. The update (on the same mirror) properly picked the 64-bit version.

On the separate issue:

I will communicate separately.
