Description Pedro Suarez 2008-03-02 09:52:47 UTC

A core dump is raised when 'telepathy-gabble' is executed under Kubuntu Gutsy:

wotan@wotan-laptop:~$ telepathy-gabble

** CRITICAL **: dbus_g_object_type_install_info: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED (object_type)' failed
aborting...
Cancelado (core dumped)


I tried this with the telepathy-gabble from apt, and with a version built from sources, but I got the same result. Perhaps its a misconfiguration of dbus... My dbus version is 1.1.1, and dbus-glib 0.7.4.

Comment 1 Simon McVittie 2008-03-03 03:17:01 UTC

Could you please get us a backtrace? Using the build you did from source is probably easiest:

$ gdb ./src/telepathy-gabble
... copyright notice ...
(gdb) run
...
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
(gdb) bt
... [send us this output] ...

What version of telepathy-gabble did you build, and what versions of libtelepathy-glib0 and libglib2.0-0 do you have?

I built telepathy-gabble 0.7.2 and 0.6.2, and both gave the same result.

The other packages are ubuntu default versions:
libglib2.0-0: 2.14.1-1
libtelepathy-glib0: 0.5.14-0

Comment 3 Simon McVittie 2008-03-03 03:56:48 UTC

It looks as though your dbus-glib is too old? telepathy-glib or telepathy-gabble has somehow been linked against dbus-glib < 0.72 (possibly 0.71 from Ubuntu edgy). In dbus-glib 0.73 (feisty) or 0.74 (gutsy, hardy) that assertion would not have failed.

Comment 4 Pedro Suarez 2008-03-03 04:21:35 UTC

Oh, yes... I had a lost installation of dbus in /usr/local and telepathy was linking against that version. Sorry for the mistake, now it works :)
