Description Jerome Quelin 2012-01-31 13:39:58 CET
$ gwenview_importer 
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
unnamed app(31326): Wrong arg count. FIXME 

and then nothing happens...

nothing related in ~/.xsession-errors
Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2012-01-31 21:26:27 CET
Recreated in Mageia 1.

After a quick look at the source, and the gwenview_importer, the
program must be invoked with the name of a directory as the
command line argument.

As it's normally started by dolphin or konqueror, I guess they
didn't bother with a better error message.

$ gwenview_importer
unnamed app(9248): Wrong arg count. FIXME

$ gwenview_importer Pictures/
works.

Argh.  Meant to type "and the "gwenview_importer --help".

I consider the bug report valid, as a low priority issue
regarding the poor wording of the error message.
Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-01-31 22:47:20 CET
What about reporting this issue upstream ?

Trying to ping 41 bug reports in one move, because nothing has happened with them for more than 3 months, they still have the status NEW or REOPENED, there is no "OK" on the Whiteboard and severity and priority are "normal" or higher.

Is this one still valid for Mageia 2 rc?

If it is and you're the assignee, please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.
If it wasn't assigned correctly, please assign back to Bug Squad and explain.
Comment 7 Jerome Quelin 2012-05-12 10:16:00 CEST
still valid.
Comment 8 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:07:35 CEST
Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

We have gwenview-4.8.95-1.mga3 in Cauldron now, is this bug still valid for current cauldron?

rpm -qa|grep gwenview
gwenview-4.9.0-1.mga3
 
[root@hodgins /]# gwenview_importer 
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
QFile::remove: Empty or null file name
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
klauncher(805) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server. 
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
startkdeinitlock(798)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed:  "Not connected to D-Bus server" 

startkdeinitlock(798): Wrong arg count. FIXME

I chrooted into the cauldron installation, hence the X11/dbus connection
failure.  Looks like the message hasn't been improved.
Comment 11 Dave Hodgins 2013-04-15 05:41:07 CEST
The upstream bug has been closed with the release of 4.10.
I've confirmed that it's fixed in cauldron,
with a better error message.

Any chance of finding/applying the patch that fixed it
to the Mageia 2 version?
Comment 12 Marja Van Waes 2015-04-17 22:54:36 CEST
Sorry, but this bug saw no action since over 2 yrs ago. 
No cauldron package has stayed the same since then.

Closing as OLD

Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully
updated Mageia 4

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD

Comment 13 Dave Hodgins 2015-04-18 00:26:00 CEST
Changing from old to fixed. On Mageia 4 ...
$ gwenview_importer
gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
gwenview_importer: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.

Passing a file name as the argument ...
$ gwenview_importer ~/.bashrc
Opens gwenview, with a dialog displaying the error message
/home/dave/.bashrc is a file, but a folder was expected.

Resolution: OLD => FIXED
