Segmentation fault due to missing menu

[justinallenreeves]

As I don't run and lack most of Gnome 3 on my system, my usage is probably off label. However I got it working easily and then not working after some effort.

$ gnome-pie
[MESSAGE] Welcome to Gnome-Pie 0.5.3!
[MESSAGE] Loading Pies from "/home/mute/.config/gnome-pie/pies.conf".
[WARNING] Failed to look up menu_file for "applications.menu"
[MESSAGE] Started happily...
Segmentation fault

I probably don't have whatever menu it's looking for if it's Gnome generated, but I'm not even certain if that's at fault or perhaps a library that got changed on Debian Wheezy in the last week.

So maybe the Main-Menu-Slice-Group is segfaulting if there is no gnome main menu installed... You can try to disable that group by commenting 4 lines (64, 65, 66 and 85) in the source file src/actionGroups/groupRegistry.vala and recompiling the code.

Or you check the configurations file "/home/mute/.config/gnome-pie/pies.conf" and remove any Pie from it which contains the Main-Menu-Slice-Group.

Did that do the trick?

Thanks for the feedback. Tried the second, and unfortunately, it leads to similar results, minus the warning.

In otherwords, it still segfaults.

Hi,

I had the same issue today. I could not start gnome-pie (v0.5.3).

I'm using Arch Linux, so I thought some dependencies are wrong because of updates. I've downgraded all of depdencenies but it did not work.

I tried to reinstall the gnome-pie, but it did not help.

Then I removed the "gnome-pie.log" and "gnome-pie.stats" files from the config folder and it works again.

Something similar happened to a user of the Debian package v0.5.3 (see Debian bug #687078), not sure if it's the same problem though. The complete output is:

And starting with the -o option seems to solve this. Also, I cannot reproduce it.

I had the same issue as @ghedo mentioned in Debian Testing. I followed the instructions that @balazs4 mentioned "...I removed the "gnome-pie.log" and "gnome-pie.stats" files from the config folder and it works again."

It still spits out the following errors -->
[WARNING] Icon "gnome-session-halt" not found! Using default icon...
[WARNING] Icon "stock_unknown" not found! Will be ugly...

Both problems discussed here have been fixed lately (issue #65 and issue #66). Therefore I'm closing this one!
