New upstream version resolves the issue, so I'm preparing UVF exception request and will close this once uploaded, if approved ;)

I upgraded to edgy yesterday and katapult doesn't show up when I press Alt+space. It doesn't log anything to the console and dcop katapult Katapult showLauncher doesn't make it appear.

No problem on edgy, katapult 0.3.1.3-0ubuntu5 installed.

I have the same problem as Daniel (fresh upgrade from Dapper to Edgy).

Actually, when I do "dcop katapult katapult showLauncher" from the command line, I get "call failed".

I have tried "strace katapult" (attached) and it seems there are files it cannot find.

My last dist-upgrade in edgy has broken katapult (0.3.1.3-0ubuntu5) again after one month without problems, with these issue fixed.

Thanks

I upgraded from 0.3.1.3-0ubuntu4 five days ago. I'm using edgy for some months . Powerpc arch.

The issue it's the same as some months ago when I upgraded to edgy: Alt+Space don't open katapult and when you try to configure it, it crashes (attached backtrace).

It seems that katapult doesn't produce the file ~/.kde/share/config/katapultrc , I've attached my katapultrc who works.

Can people who are having problems try deleting ~/.kde/share/config/katapultrc

and then try restarting katapult?

Aha!

I've found out why these issues are being caused.... the .desktop files were not updated in the kubuntu package...

I'll create a patch now

Strange, but I did exactly the opposite: I copied the old Dapper katapultrc to Edgy and it works. There was no katapultrc on my system that I could remove.

Bug 56918
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/katapult/+bug/56918) is
also affecting katapult in edgy, meaning that in some translated
environments, katapult will not display the launcher, or allow any use
of it without crashing)

In that bug I have created patches/interdiffs for the patches in the
current katapult debian package that need updating.

I will include a new .diff.gz and a debdiff between the updates and the
current edgy package

weird... but anyway - I've found out what the reason is ;)

I'm updating the .desktop files hopefully in an SRU which should fix all
of this - see

All the above patches are entirely incorrect. The change needed is to fix the typo in kubuntu_01_o2display.diff (katapult_o2display.desktop) s/Id/ID/

Has this been resolved yet? I am guessing it has since Katapult works just fine in Edgy for me.
