Description mmutoo 2012-06-21 05:35:03 CEST
Description of problem:
I have installed opera 12 on mageia 2. After that, I installed the x-notifier addon on opera. I see no error message, but the addon does not show up in the toolbar (like it does in Windows and Ubuntu). Also, when I try to setup an account for checking (this addon actually is an email notifier), and after filling the blanks and hitting "Add" button, just nothing happens.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): opera 12, x-notifier 0.3


How reproducible:
Always happens.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install opera 12.
2. Install x-notifier 0.3.
3. Try to add an account to the addon for checking.

Was it working before ?

Also I'm not sure this is really a Mageia bug...

Portion of screenshot showing x-notifier icon.

As shown in the attached portion of a screenshot, the
x-notifier icon shows up on the menu bar used for
viewing web pages.

This is after I used Tools/Extensions/Manage extensions,
and clicked on the wrench icon to configure it, providing
my gmail address and password.

After clicking on the add account, you then have to select
the save button.

@ Manuel: I did not use it with 11.60 and before. So I do not know.

@Dave: Well I don't know what is wrong! I do the same thing, but when I click on "ADD" to add my account, just nothing happens. Also, I don't see the icon on my toolbar. I did exactly as what I did for my other computer running ubuntu and PCLinuxOS. They are fine.
Comment 4 mmutoo 2012-06-24 02:36:17 CEST
OH! I forgot to ask. When you open the preferences do you see a "Scripts" button on top? What does it show when you click it? Mine shows nothing!

Guys, I have a follow up that might be important. I still have the same problem with x-notifier. However, when I downloaded opera (mandriva rpm package) from opera website, and installed it, everything works. I think I have a clue. When opera rpm is installed, it asks for a few dependencies to be downloaded and installed, which obviously have not been installed using mageia package manager. These packages are now installed, and I can not make opera rpm installer ask for them again to find out what they were. I can give you their names if you tell how to find them.

Sorry for the delay getting back to this one.  I do get the scripts button
in the preferences.

I'll take a look at the opera mandriva rpm package, and see if I can figure
out what requires it has, that the Mageia rpm package is missing.  Thanks
for the update.

Comment 7 Dave Hodgins 2012-07-01 21:45:00 CEST
The Mageia rpm package is missing the following requires, that are present in
the opera-12.00-1467.i386.rpm file ...

libgstautodetect.so
libgstogg.so
libgsttheora.so
libgstvorbis.so
libgstwavparse.so

These requires are satisfied by the Mageia rpm packages gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
and gstreamer0.10-plugins-base.

I had previously had the opera version of 1467 installed, hence already had those
packages installed.

Bugsquad, and you assign this to the opera packager?  Thanks.

oh thanks Dave

Opera 12.10 has been released.  Would be nice to have
the requires fixed in the new package, so we can close
this bug report.
Comment 10 Anssi Hannula 2012-11-07 01:12:38 CET
I've added gstreamer0.10-plugins-good as suggests in the new opera update ( https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8007 ). -base was already there as a suggestion.

However, these packages do not seem to have anything to do with the problem the original reported had. Missing -plugins-good package should only cause HTML5 WAV audio support to become missing.
Also, I've tested on a minimal installation (without any gstreamer packages) that x-notifier worked corretly, so I do not have any additional ideas on what is going on.
Comment 11 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-22 12:19:10 CEST
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
