gnome-nettool 2.32.0-8.1 (bad ping path?) (opensuse 11.4)

Hello,

I am having a strange problem with gnome-nettool… it seems that the ping function does not work, so I get no ping responses.

If I run the gnome-nettool from terminal window pinging 8.8.8.8 (as root or as my user) this is the output:


(gnome-nettool:27659): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed

(gnome-nettool:27659): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed

(gnome-nettool:27659): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed

(gnome-nettool:27659): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkToggleAction' to `GtkWidget'

(gnome-nettool:27659): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed
command: /bin/ping ping -b -c 5 -n 8.8.8.8

I understand this wrong:
command: /bin/ping ping -b -c 5 -n 8.8.8.8

and should be:
command: /bin/ping -b -c 5 -n 8.8.8.8

The other errors about gtk, would be great to know what means, too.

Is it possible to solve it?

Thank you very much,

PS: I have made a fresh install of opensuse 11.4 (used to have 11.3 and no problem with nettool)

Hi
This is the upstream bug;
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634749

Just looking to see if it made it into the 11.4 version…

Hi
I’ve created a bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679874 and have patched the file in question. Just waiting for it to build…

The fixed version is gnome-nettool-2.32.0-10.1 so make sure you grab that version to test.
software.opensuse.org: Search Results

I’ve tested it locally and it’s all working, so if you could confirm as well then I can submit to the update team.

Thanks Malcomlewis, you solve it! lol!

Hi
There is now an updated gnome-nettool in the openSUSE 11.4 update
channel, suggest you update and remove my test version.
