This may be the cause of some problems with 2.26.

The data package is not installed by default so I find it hard to believe it would cause problems.

I have attached them to the original post. You're free to try them.

I'm dreaming utilizing libglib2.26. Maybe via extras-devel or via CSSU.

Seems so far only failing application is leafpad.
(I have package libglib2.0-data installed, but seems it has only localization data)

Here is backtrace:

Code:

#0  0x40718734 in g_type_check_instance_is_a (type_instance=<value optimized out>, iface_type=462080)
    at /home/michael/Projects/glib-226/gobject/gtype.c:3941
#1  0x402b2f9c in IA__gtk_item_factory_get_widget (ifactory=0xbebb16b4, path=0x22888 "/Edit/Undo") at gtkitemfactory.c:659
#2  0x0000fad4 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbebb16c4) at main.c:385

And indeed main.c:385 is calling gtk_item_factory_get_widget(ifactory, "/Edit/Undo"), which then causes seg fault. Uncommenting it and recompiling leafpad -> works. Does anybody understand why this happens? Is there way to fix it? How we know if another applications are failing with same or slightly different way? (just push update and take bug reports?)

There are 1334 packages (directly) using libglib
List of all packages on repositories compiled against libglib2.0-0:

Code:

apt-cache showpkg libglib2.0-0 | grep "," | sed 's/,.*//' | sed 's/  //' | sort | uniq

Only CSSU, I bet, as Nokia-repo packages are updated via cssu
blind guess, maybe we need newer gtk?
Now we can push 2.22 and find how to fix the leafpad problem.

I'm continuing with this. I got glib-2.29.92 packed with Maemo-modifications. It can be installed and device still starts, but seems there are some more problems than with 2.26.

*Leafpad segfaults (same as with 2.26)

*Calendar is not starting from menu. Terminal /usr/bin/Calendar gives:

Code:

commit(): Failure in adding Birthdays. Error is 202

But it can be started with

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=com.nokia.calendar /com/nokia/calendar com.nokia.calendar.top_application

*Browser can't be started from menu. Terminal /usr/bin/browser gives:

Code:

-:1: error: invalid string constant "osso-combobox-entry-arrow", expected valid string constant

But it can be started with

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.open_new_window string:http://talk.maemo.org

*Other stock PR-1.3 applications start and seem to work (not heavily tested).

running /usr/bin/browser always ends like that.

I'd suggest a reflash for testing, 'cause I had similar problems with birthdays when I tried to replace Fremantle calendar with Harmattan calendar and then installed the Fremantle back.

The "Maemo/MeeGo" glib stops at 2.28. May that mean further incompatibility? https://gitorious.org/gnome-essentia...bian/changelog

I tracked down why Leafpad is crashing when glib is changed.

I found that last working glib is 2.23.0 and first broken (in meaning of 'broken') version is 2.23.1. Then I git bisected and found that first breaking commit is 718b476c4474e5c9e973046ef555ffcb9bfd38a1 Which is then pointing to the bug tracker: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585375

Current leafpad in maemo is leafpad-0.8.17le (le stands for lite edition). Because unmodified upstream leafpad-0.8.17 (and latest 0.8.18.1) works with new glib (2.23.1 and even 2.26.0), I would say that issue comes from these lite edition patches.

Next steps: newest glib (2.35.X). leafpad without 'le'. (optional) create lite edition against newest leafpad+glib.

Here are debianizations I have used: http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo5/libglib/ Version numbers (of course) refers to these upstream tar-balls: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/glib/

And about closed src packages problems (which may occur) - this might be a workaround:

Ok, I'm looking guinea pigs: libglib-2.35.3 (released December 2012): http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo5/l...emo2_armel.deb

I have tested this deb, but I can't still give any guarantee. In worst case the phone enters eternal bootloop.

----
Tested with:
a) reflashed PR1.3
(flasher-3.5 -f -R -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin)

b) at the first boot, just skip settings

c) installed rootsh via microb

d) terminal: root+dpkg+reboot
(You need to remove metapackage mp-fremantle-generic-pr)

-> no reboot-loop. Every preinstalled application starts (no known crashes/issues).

-----
Compiling your self:

Code:

wget http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.35/glib-2.35.3.tar.xz
tar xf glib-2.35.3.tar.xz
cd glib-2.35.3
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=4 --no-parent --reject="index.html*" -e robots=off http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo5/libglib/debian_2.35.3/debian

fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

-----
Only known non-working application so far: Leafpad, here is working version: http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo5/l...emo1_armel.deb
(replaces old version, non-hildonized, non-optified less than 1MB)

[EDIT]
Fixed glib-dev, version number is now maemo2.
*glib-2.31 forces to use 'single include': https://mail.gnome.org/archives/comm.../msg04272.html On Maemo this is best to revert for a while.
*generating shlibs was missing
[/EDIT]

If I get the source, I might do optify.

I tested it on my (full of trash and with broken qt-components) spare N900. Brief testing says it's ok.
(tested only a couple of apps)
