AppDirAssistant does not work on Debian Squeeze

Postby SalineOS » Thu Apr 28, 2011 9:35 pm

I am trying to use AppDirAssistant on Debian 6.0.1 Squeeze. The terminal output is below followed by a bit more info.

anthony@salineos:~/Desktop$ ./"AppDirAssistant 0.3.1"
1
[<class '__main__.WelcomePage'>, 'Welcome']
Preparing <WelcomePage 'Welcome'>
Preparing <TooNewPage 'Warning'>
Preparing <InstallNowPage 'Install your application now'>
Preparing <ProfilerPage 'Profiling...'>
The program 'appimager' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.
(Details: serial 2562 error_code 14 request_code 94 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
anthony@salineos:~/Desktop$ ./"AppDirAssistant 0.3.1" --sync

[<class '__main__.WelcomePage'>, 'Welcome']

Preparing <InstallNowPage 'Install your application now'>
Preparing <ProfilerPage 'Profiling...'>
Killed
anthony@salineos:~/Desktop$


The first run ends in nothing but the program exiting with that output. Running with --sync caused it to just freeze , I left it for over a half hour to see if it would figure something out before manually killing it. Several tests run using different applications all end the same way (Even rebooted between some of them to no avail). Tried running as root and got the same exact behavior. Machine does not use sudo and uses Xfce for the desktop envoirnment. Completely stock Debian Squeeze except for binutils-gold which was compiled against the Squeeze libraries and installed (Using the source package from sid) - Needed in order to compile Chromium 10. Running in Virtual box version in Debian Squeeze (3.2.10), also tried one round on bare metal with the same result :( Any ideas on how I might be able to get it running?

Edit: Forgot the most important part ! It does create a directory named Application.Appdir, but AppImageAssistant hangs on "verifying if /blah/blah is an appdir directory" and never finishes. If I remember right with older versions a hidden text file was created with the directory, this is not present?
