Yes, last news on glipper was back in 07! Seems as though the parcellite has just announced that it will no longer be maintained either as of (April 2010). I too have abandonded the glipper route and settled with parcellite. Sure hope either someone picks up parcellite, or something else comes a long. You would have to think that if glipper has not been touched since 2007, it probably would have a security hole or something. Perhaps not, but I would think it would.

Parcellite uses the notification area, rather than being a panel applet or sitting in the indicator applet in Ubuntu.

[Bug 213494] Re: Glipper dies when desktop starting
Hi, it is been a long time since I cared about this bug, but the last comment made me investigate again. For all I can say now: The bug does not occur anymore on my machine with my glipper version. I think it extremely likely that this is indeed a race condition as many others already pointed out. The lacking of my glipper crashing almost proves it. I changed the import order of these gnome, gtk and glipper libraries and thus avoided the crash: gobject gtk gnome gnomeapplet glipper glipper.defs glipper.Applet I provided a try-except-block for each import with according logging. As I said, I experience no crashes anymore, so this might be a solution. I will attach my changed glipper script.

I really cannot give an answer. It must clash with something, but no one has been able to figure it out. It is a real pain, because I really like glipper.

This is the current patch to glipper.

[Bug 213494] Re: Glipper dies when desktop starting
Right. So now I had another crash :( Happened after my notebook did not properly wake up after suspend because of lack of power. I then had to do a normal boot and glipper crashed after log in to GNOME. So it's about one crash for maybe 4 times booting. My log file says the crash happened right after the first message. So the error must happen between "Trying to start glipper..." and while not ready: try: import gobject gobject.threads_init() import gtk, gnomeapplet, gnome ready = True Logical next step is to make one debug line per code. We'll then be able to tell where it crashes if there is only one place in the code or at least know that there are many lines that make it crash or different situations. My log is attached. Crash happened at 2009-06-12T15:23:11.300143 I will provide a more verbose version in a while.

If you right click on the glipper icon and select preference, you can change the size of the clipboard manager. This will help with BIG text issues. I also have crashed glipper that way in the past.

[Bug 213494] Re: Glipper dies when desktop starting
Hi there, I'm running Jaunty and are (since Hardy) experiencing the same problems. I followed this thread which I only found today (luckily). I spent some two hours to dig a little into the problem and found that its got to do (as others above pointed out already) with some little gnome inside the code ;) I first suspected gobject.threads_init() as other resources pointed out, that time and order of calls matter in PyGTK. Then, as a first step, I added logging to see how far Glipper would fare: It is merely starting up before it crashes. Being intrigued by this and by the fact that it really only happens at boot time, I started to write this patch (see attachment). For now after the first successful (re-)boot (done a far few by now) test, Glipper *did not* crash with this code in place! I'd be really curious whether it'll help others, so please give it a try!

[Bug 213494] Re: Glipper dies when desktop starting
This bug is not a new one, and seems to be stalled as far as a fix, if it is a sufficient workaround (are there any cases where this doesn't workaround the problem?) It seems that usability would be key, and that workaround fixes it on several of my machines, I know that is slightly limited, but seems like a very viable workaround. It doesn't seem that collecting any further data is going to result in a solution that will come around any time soon, because as stated, this isn't new. Perhaps I missed the previous reasons, I did breeze through them, and mostly it is talk of using something different (parcelite klipper, etc.) those aren't even workarounds, they are abandonment. I believe that actually the times it didn't work are not related to the glipper startup crashing bug, but rather a memory limitation type bug. I too have crashed glipper in this way, however playing around with the settings has stopped that problem. I'm not a programmer, so it is only my observations and opinions take it for what it is worth. I think end userability ranks higher than attempting to milk a dry cow for more information. The majority of users (of which I venture to guess don't even visit this page) just delete it and install parcelite or klipper without a second thought. Don't take this as a reproach, it is just my opinion from one of the end users.

This is pretty crazy that this is a problem for so long. Doesn't the sleep method work for everyone? I just have to edit it every time and set the sleep time to 30 seconds and that fixes it for me. Of course I always have to look up this bug or on the forums to find the answer. I would suggest putting the sleep time in the distributed package and see if the bug goes away, it is a pretty harmless solution or at least a workaround.
