Docky does not launch anymore after big system upgrade

655321 · 2010-10-19 22:16:02

Hi,

I get this when trying to launch docky:

[1111@MNAME ~]$ docky
Could not load file or assembly 'Mono.GetOptions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756' or one of its dependencies.

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Docky.Docky' from assembly 'Docky, Version=0.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I have searched and found that mono update broke docky, but people say that the problem should be fixed with docky version 2.0.7, however, I have that version and still have the same problem

Any help?

thanks in advance

I am sure: pacman -Qs outputs this:

pacman -Qs docky
local/docky 2.0.7-1
    The Finest Dock No Money Can Buy
local/gnome-do-docklets 0.8.2-1
    GNOME Do Docky docklets

EDIT for a little more info, when I tried to remove docky to reinstall it, this happened:

checking dependencies...
/tmp/alpm_JZquTH/.INSTALL: line 22: gconfpkg: command not found
Removing schema...
error: command failed to execute correctly
(1/1) removing docky                               [######################] 100%

Same thing when I tried reinstalling, whats that gconfpkg command not found about?

cheers

No idea how to troubleshoot this without downgrading that "mono" package (I would prefer NOT to downgrade))

Any ideas on this?

Edit: just found this on the bug page posted here:

yaourt -Sb docky fixed it tyvm for your work

Will try this and come back with results.

FYI, the -Sb option is to install a package from source.

Cheers

i've the same problem. If i try the -Sb thing i get:

medeo@myhost ~]$ yaourt -Sb docky
==> Compilazione di docky dai sorgenti.

==> Recupero PKGBUILD e sorgenti locali...

i have the same problem i've installed docky and i can't start it because it crashes immediately :\

655321 · 2010-10-28 19:23:52

Ok I found the solution, recompiled docky using ABS and now it works like a charm. If you have ABS already running on your system, then just recompile docky (if you have it installed I assume you know how to do it, if not, you can read the wiki page for abs here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AB … e_ABS_tree

An step by step guide can be found here: http://snott.net/linux/docky-in-archlin … m-upgrade/

hope it helped!

guys, do you have i686 or x86_64? x86_64 works for me flawless

i found it very stupid that nobody uses the bugtracker. Instead they are posting blog posts suggesting recompilation, like we are weren't able to fix our packages.

no wonder we can't fix them, we DON'T know that are broken

What do you mean by "not using the bug tracker"? The bug has already being reported. And on the comments says that it should be fixed in the new docky version but it isnt, so I figured that would be a workaround and it did work.

I dont doubt the skill of the developers at all to fix issues, but some people are way to impatient (like me) to wait for the bug fix to be released. Meanwhile they can try the workaround.

And to answer your question. 64 bit here

x86_64 works for me and i blame your system. maybe you have other mono modules that are broken, besides the dependencies that docky pulls?

my system was mono free before trying docky

nikkon · 2010-10-28 21:58:47

i can confirm this not working on my gnome install as well

No idea about that, I don't even know what mono is lol, is there a way I can check that?

Wonder, docky here starts but is crashing when I try to add a docky applet. Does it crash for you when you try that ?

655321 · 2010-10-28 22:23:56

Here I could not open docky at all, after recompile it works now.

Cagnulein · 2010-10-29 04:50:29

I've tried to recompile it but when i try to run it, it crashes here
