tomboy fails to start (mono-addins issue) [solved]

applet crashes the usual gnome-panel way (oafiid stuff with don't delete/delete buttons)
if run in console manually:

$ tomboy
(Tomboy:7100): Gtk-WARNING **: Global Menu Library(libgnomenu) not found. Fall back to GTK code for handling menu bar. GTK-aqd is intended to provide Global Menusupport from legacy GTK applications. 
[DEBUG]: NoteManager created with note path "/home/lloeki/.tomboy".

fixed like this, thanks to arch italia!

# pacman -Rsc tomboy mono mono-addins
$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mono-addins-svn/mono-addins-svn.tar.gz
$ tar xfvz mono-addins-svn.tar.gz
$ cd mono-addins-svn
$ makepkg -sr
$ mv ~/.tomboy ~/tomboy.old
# pacman -S tomboy
# pacman -Rd mono-addins && pacman -U mono-addins-svn-*.pkg.tar.gz
$ tomboy

it should start ok, now exit tomboy

$ cp ~/tomboy.old/*.note ~/.tomboy
$ tomboy

it should start ok, and all notes should be back.


To know recursion, you must first know recursion.

Works fine with vanilla mono-addins also here. I guess tomboy messed up with the ~/.tomboy directory. Removing the ~/.tomboy/addins and ~/.tomboy/addin-db-* directories should fix the problem also.

Hmm, fun to see that tomboy has a 50% success rate when starting... something fishy going on here.

that's what I supposed initially, but even deleting the .tomboy folder did not solve anything. worse, the more I started tomboy (even if I deleted the .tomboy folder in between), the more it crashed, up to a 100% crash rate. and even when it started, it complained about addins, and no addins were available in the configuration dialog.

with the above fix, everything is fine.

PS: althoug it shouldn't matter, I'm running x64 here.

Merci bien, lloeki. That fix worked for me, too. I was desperate, because I use Tomboy many times each day.

I needed to use this fix again, just four days later. This has been a big help.
