Description Matthias Clasen 2009-09-28 11:27:07 UTC

I was trying to track down the spew that polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 spews at startup:

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:8029): GLib-GObject-WARNING **:
cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'
 
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:8029): GLib-CRITICAL **:
g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

This is caused by recursing inside the gobject type registration machinery.
You are calling _polkit_bindings_get_error_domain_types in
 
polkit/_polkitauthenticationagent.c:base_init
 
which ultimatively causes the issue I'm seeing, I think. 

Can we move that somewhere else ?

This is all generated code right? If so, it's an eggdbus bug...

xsession error log

I see these messages on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx final release.
I've just installed it, with a /home partition inherited from Ubuntu 9.10.

I also don't get a proper panel on boot/autologin:
I get a light grey bar top left, about the normal depth, 40% width, nothing on it.
To workaround, I right click where the panel ought to be, select properties, select the background tab, and click none, or solid colour. The panel then appears with applications, places, system etc.
Without this step I can do nothing.
I'm presuming it's related to these errors - can anyone confirm that, or should I be logging a separate bug?

Thanks
Chris

With the port to gdbus, this is no longer a problem.

Comment 7 MM 2011-06-29 21:20:22 UTC

Almost a year later and I'm getting in Slackware 13.1 using the Gnome Slack Build;

http://gnomeslackbuild.org/

So I don't know what this port to gdbus is or means but I still have this problem with these messages when I log out...

Comment 8 MM 2011-06-29 21:26:49 UTC

I forgot to mention them as the same types of messages;

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:8029): GLib-GObject-WARNING **:
cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:8029): GLib-CRITICAL **:
g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

Also another one I forgot to mention;

gnome-power-manager:1617: GLib-GObject-CRITICIAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed


THANKS

(In reply to comment #8)

On the other hand, along with many others I have no issues running policykit-1 version 0.101-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 11.04.

DasFox: don't reopen the bug if you can't even provide information about what version you are using. As I said, this problem has already been fixed - it's not my problem you are using an old version.
