RuntimeError: Can not find port of couchdb.

Same error on i686 kvm macine, hence confirming

And oh, this is on default desktop, with metacity, so removing both 64 and unity tag

moving to desktopcouch

Chad, can you have a look at this, please? It happens to several people on Maverick

I can't find a good reason yet. I need more information.

Will someone please attach the ~/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.log.1 file after this happens?

Here, I do not have a ".log.1" but only ".log" in that directory, and what it shows is simply:

"
[Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:14:25 GMT] [info] [<0.2.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://127.0.0.1:36868/
"

Which I presume indicates that it started fine when the machine started.

There is no additional mention of anything, even if I try to launch gwibber just now.

I have confirmed it works on maverick with the lucid kernel, but with the maverick kernel desktopcouch-service starts beam.smp but never listens on dbus. Perhaps something in how desktopcouch finds the port isn't compatible with the 2.6.34 kernel.

Chad: I have attached my couch log per your request.

I got a similar message, and tried running it with sudo. It worked. I've attached the transcript of the session. During the "Updating" and "Saving", I was getting a full working GUI. I then closed it and the program quit.

I can also confirm the above, if gwibber is invoked with sudo, it starts up seemingly fine (despite errors).

Strangely enough, it does not when using gksu, in which case this error is seen:

** (gwibber:2396): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

For me, launching Gwibber w/ sudo does not work and produces the following:

sudo gwibber

I can confirm the bug, related to linux 2.6.34-5. Versione 2.6.34-4 works.
I use 2.6.34-4 on Lucid and U1 works fine, but with 2..6.34-5 I have the same error.

So I ask you: is this a kernel related bug or not? it seems it is.

For my shell, I should be able to look up what file STDOUT is, right?

Shishire and others, it is unwise to launch gwibber as root.

The problem is an incompatibility with the new kernel in Maverick. Expect an update soon.

Duplicate of bug 589656, I think. Working on it in the kernel now...

This bug is caused by the tighter ptrace restrictions, see bug 589656 for reference. They will reduce the restriction and hopefully we won't need to change desktopcouch.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 2.6.35-2.2.

Marking invalid for desktopcouch since it appeared and disappeared with no change to desktopcouch. The report against linux kernel tracks the real bug.

Should it not be marked Fix Released then, since we know what package fixed it and where?

I don't think this is fix released. I've just tried running gwibber on Linux 2.6.35-6-generic and it still won't load and I'm getting errors like the ones above

start gwibber from terminal and paste the logs here

Attached is the result of running 'gwibber'

Attached is the result of running 'sudo gwibber'

Yep, this definitely isn't fixed.

Resetting to desktopcouch = Confirmed for the time being, since the Linux task has no changeable Importance.

this particular bug has already been fixed. David the problem you are facing is a different bug.
