Crash on web search

I can not confirm (on Jaunty). This is working as expected for me.

Is it possible that the location of the search plugins was moved during a Firefox update? Where does the opensearch plugin look for them?

So I have experimented and found that opensearch was not finding the location of the search plugins. I copied the search plugins from /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins into /home/xxx/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/searchplugins and it could find and use the plugins.

I first tried to just add a link to the folder /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins and the only searchplugins found were the plugins directly in the folder /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins. These are the launchpad related search plugins that ubuntu has pre-installed. The usual firefox search plugins (google, yahoo, etc) were located in a subfolder /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins/en-US . These search plugins were not indexed by gnome-do.

So it does not seem to be a real bug with opensearch plugin but rather a change in where firefox (or ubuntu) is putting the search plugins.

same behavior here on 9.10

this seems related to the bug 383484 in firefox 3.5

Same behavior for me on 9.10 with same output:

(Do:3374): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_set_client_type got called multiple times.

Could not locate Tomboy on D-Bus. Perhaps it's not running?

@Morriz: would you be willing to install Do from source? I may have fixed this with the latest bzr revision. If you do, install both lp:do and lp:do-plugins from bzr.

Tnx! It takes a long time to compile all that tho..heck, I'm still
downloading it all :p

I still get error with a the latest build:

The OpenSearch plugins for Karmic / Firefox 3.5 / en-US are in

/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/common/en-US

Copying all XML files in this directory to

/home/{USER}/.mozilla/firefox/vkuuxfit.default/searchplugins/

does kick off a search - but took me to surprisingly to ebay.com search engine
Anyway, it does not kill Do, so that's a start... below the crashtrace before copying the xml-files

OK, after pressing TAB I get to choose the search engine as well in the third panel - works fine with Google and all OpenSearch plugins now...
/m

Everything works well until i try to select opensearch. it crushes gnome-do immediately and prevent it from starting again. Fast workaround: remove gnome-do-plugins install it again and disable/don't use opensearch.

my bad is not opensearch. disabling Google/docs/contacts also solve the problem

Workaround of

adam@whiteowl:~/.mozilla/firefox/x3j1pqnz.default$ ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/common/en-GB searchplugins

resolves this

I confirm this bug in Lucid too

The workaround proposed by @AdamGuthrie is good, but prevents one from installing new OpenSearch plugins due to permissions in the directory. If that is the case, linking the files individually is better.

Still happens with latest gnome-do in xubuntu 10.04 with latest updates. On presing enter gnome-do closes and crash report doesnt come up.
