Hi,

It solves the problem
Difficult to understand a permission problem with a fresh installed rpm when you see this kind of error message

Thx

Agreed.  Ideally python would generate a more accurate error message.  I figured
it out by running it under strace, which did show the permission denied message.

Taking this one, fix already commited for cauldron. Waiting for my mentor to review the change, then i'll prepare an update for Mageia 1.

There is now ginkgo-0.32-1.1.mga1 in core/updates_testing to validate.


Suggested advisory:
-------------------

This update fixes the following problem:

ginkgo was packaged before with the wrong permissions on /usr/share/apps/ginkgo/ directory and thus was not able to read it's data files and crashed directly after it was started.

Steps to reproduce:

- install/update to update candidate
- check if it starts and works properly

Confirmed the fix x86_64 but there is are issues with this.

In the help menu clicking on Report A Bug submits the bug report to https://qa.mandriva.com

Also

Clicking on any of the Places on the left gave..

"/usr/bin/python(18069)" Soprano: "Unsupported operation (2)": "Invalid model"


Started nepomuk service.

Now clicking on any of the Places for the first time gives..

"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "SQLGetData for data length failed (iODBC Error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Invalid cursor state)"
"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "SQLGetData for data length failed (iODBC Error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Invalid cursor state)"
"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "SQLGetData for data length failed (iODBC Error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Invalid cursor state)"


After that clicking on other Places gives several..

"/usr/bin/python(20811)" Soprano: "SQLGetData for data length failed (iODBC Error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Invalid cursor state)"

No data is diplayed in the main window.

Is this just a configuration problem or is something wrong?

Also I couldn't see any menu entry for Ginkgo. Is it called something else?

Seems to be working here.

I was able to add a contact, etc.  Click on Contacts, then click
on the New (left most) icon.  After entering data, click on the
save (beside the new) icon.

Where ever it stores the data, the contact list is clearly not the
same one used by kaddressbook.  It doesn't seem to be integrated with
any other application.

The files tab seems be be loading a list of all files in /home/$USER
recursively, including tmp, presumably in physical order, not in a way
that makes sense to me.  It's also very slow to load.

As Claire noted, there is no .desktop file, so there is no menu entry,
which a gui application should have.

I've only fixed the reported bug so far. I'll have a look at the "Report A Bug" URL and the missing .desktop file. (Honestly that's what the maintainer should have noticed in the first place when importing this.

Another problem may be that ginkgo is not really developed any more, as it was an in-house creation from Mandriva.

Perhaps we should consider dropping the package.  Since it isn't
integrated with kde4, it isn't of much use.

That was also my first thought. But mikala imported it, so there seems to be a need/use case for it. Also we could only drop it from Cauldron, not from a released distribution.

Did you start the desktop search functionnality ?
(Yes i read before that nepomuk is supposed to be started but there's some delay with the dbus interface usually :/ )

Here i stricly don't have any idea (& google is not that useful here :/ )

configuration i would say since it's working here (even if i did not find how this app could be useful for me :p )

Well if i'm not wrong it was a suggests/requires used in mandriva 2010.2 so i did import it without the idea of using it all :)

Was any decision made whether this is being kept or dropped? 

Thanks

We can't drop anything from a released distro AFAIK. I'll try to add a .desktop file for it and change at least the "Report a Bug" URL in the next few days.

Thanks Florian, it can maybe be dropped from mga2 then.

There is now ginkgo-0.32-1.2.mga1 in core/updates_testing to validate.
