Bug Description

When trying to run obconf, I'm getting this error:

obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm using (or trying to use) openbox 3.3-2 and obconf 1.5-3.

SRU proposal (Adrien Cunin):

This bug makes the package completely unusable.
The fix is easy: only a rebuild.
Already fixed in feisty with the build of version 1.6-1.

In Debian, it seems to have been fixed with a newer version, 1.5-4:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa-packages/2006/09/msg00060.html

That version isn't available in Edgy yet, though.

I can confirm this as well including the Debian documentation.

This bug has been confirmed by several people in Launchpad and in the Debian BTS. A fix has been provided in debian version 1.5-4.

Hi. Here's a fix:

$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s libobrender.so libobrender.so.1
$ sudo ln -s libobparser.so libobparser.so.1

That's all you need to do.

Marking as fix released since feisty has 1.6-1.

Does this mean that the fix will be backported to edgy?

Reinhard Tartler (siretart) wrote :

after consultation with Adri2000 on irc, I was pointed to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=385464;msg=15, which indicates that a rebuild is enough for fixing this bug.

Adrien Cunin (adri2000) wrote :

I will attach a debdiff and do everything needed for the SRU request tomorrow.

Adrien Cunin sent me a the modified .deb, and now it works.

Bye.

Reinhard Tartler (siretart) wrote :

I think we use the suffix 'build' instead of ubuntu for rebuilds. This would make the version number 1.5.3-build0.1. Since syncs don't matter at this point, I'm of course okay with the current debdiff.

+1

Looks sane, +1.

Daniel T Chen (crimsun) wrote :

Out of curiosity (since this same version is in all), does this bug strike all released Ubuntu versions?

Adrien Cunin (adri2000) wrote :

Three +1, the debdiff will be uploaded ASAP.

Daniel: according to a dapper user, it works. libobrender is in the openbox package, and the version is different between dapper and edgy.

obconf is launched successfully without "error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1" -error message.

lots of "(obconf:6333): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_dock_float_y_value_changed'" but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Works for me.

This does not work, obconf then briefly flashes on and off and there is no way to make it stick.
Which brings me to a new bug all together.
