Description Julian Sikorski 2011-10-21 14:21:50 UTC
Hi,

I just upgraded to Fedora 16 prerelease which contains empathy 3.2.1. It seems like telepathy-sunshine does not work with it. By using
$ SUNSHINE_DEBUG=all SUNSHINE_PERSIST=1 /usr/libexec/telepathy-sunshine
and then launching empathy the following error shows up:
process 18175: Array or variant type requires that type variant be written, but end_dict_entry was written.
The overall signature expected here was 'a{ua{sv}}' and we are on byte 6 of that signature.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Przerwane
Comment 1 Julian Sikorski 2011-11-15 09:14:01 UTC
I just tested this on my older computer running Fedora 14 x86_64:
gnome-phone-manager-telepathy-0.65-9.fc14.x86_64
python-telepathy-0.15.19-2.fc14.noarch
telepathy-butterfly-0.5.14-1.fc14.noarch
telepathy-farsight-0.0.14-2.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-filesystem-0.0.2-1.fc12.noarch
telepathy-gabble-0.10.5-1.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-glib-0.11.16-1.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-haze-0.4.0-2.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-idle-0.1.7-1.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-logger-0.1.7-1.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-mission-control-1:5.6.1-1.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-salut-0.4.0-1.fc14.x86_64
telepathy-sunshine-0.2.0-1.fc14.noarch
empathy-2.32.2-1.fc14.x86_64
sunshine was able to establish a connection on the old computer. Contact list is almost certainly the same, it is stored on the server anyway. For the record, sunshine in f14 is two commits behind git master.
The other obvious differences are twisted versions: 10.1.0 in f14; 10.2.0 in f15 (which still worked) and 11.0.0 in fc16 and above.

Strange thing. I'm trying to reproduce it but without success.

Julian, could you give me list of current versions of this packages from Fedora 16?

I tried to use Empathy 3.2.0 and 3.3.x now to reproduce it but without success. I found where it's crashing but I don't have clue yet how to fix it and why it occurs.

When you'll be available on GG I will send you sunshine testing package with more debugging information that will bring us more info about this issue.

I am attaching the full log in case it might be helpful.
Comment 5 goviczek 2012-04-09 18:44:58 UTC
I've got the same problem. Message in log as above. 
However, there is problem only when connecting with Empathy (3.2.2)

When I add account from Empathy Account Dialog(when Empathy itself is not running) it connects correctly. It could be used wit KDE Telepathy 3.1 without problems.

After running Empathy error appears. 

Maybe it could be problem with Empathy KT at the same time, but i don't think so.

I'm using Fedora. It could be distribution-specific bug. All similar problems I found was related wit it.

Using a current version of dbus-python (often called python-dbus in distributions - it's the same thing) should convert this into a normal Python traceback with more information. Which version of dbus-python do you have?
