System Load Indicator

Error with settings schema on load

Asked by Marcelo Fernandez

Hello,

I was running a very old version of indicator-multiload on my Ubuntu 14.04 installation, and now I was trying to install this version (from stable PPA). But when executing from console, I'm getting this fatal error:

marcelo@marcelo-notebook:~$ indicator-multiload

(indicator-multiload:20344): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'de.mh21.indicator-multiload.general' does not contain a key named 'indicator-expression-index'
Trace/breakpoint trap
marcelo@marcelo-notebook:~$

What can I do to fix this one?

Regards

Hi Marcelo,

You can reset the general settings on the command line with
  $ gsettings reset-recursively de.mh21.indicator-multiload.general
or, if there are even more problems, with
  $ gsettings reset-recursively de.mh21.indicator-multiload

Hope that helps!

Cheers
  Michael

Hi Michael,

Nope, I've executed both commands but I'm still getting the crash.

I did an 'apt-get install --reinstall indicator-multiload' to reinstall the .xml schema file in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/de.mh21.indicator-multiload.gschema.xml, previously saving a copy in /tmp/, but both (the older one in /tmp/de.mh21.....xml and the newer one in /usr/share/glib-2.0/....) were exactly the same.

I was hoping the newer .xml had the 'indicator-expression-index' key.

Hi Marcelo,

the key was removed in the last revision (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-multiload/indicator-multiload/trunk/revision/137), so it sounds like you are using a slightly older version (from stable?) with a newer schema (from trunk?)?

Hi Michael,

Yes, I'm using stable:

marcelo@marcelo-notebook:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/indicator-multiload-daily-trusty.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/daily/ubuntu trusty main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/daily/ubuntu trusty main

...But that doesn't explain why the app is looking for that key, either.

Hi Marcelo,

stable is still using it, and it is also included in the schema there (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-multiload/indicator-multiload/stable/view/head:/data/de.mh21.indicator-multiload.gschema.xml.in.in#L89). I'm a bit wondering why it is not included in the schema on your system...

Cheers

Hi, now I've fixed it.

I downloaded the xml file you've linked to [1], replaced "_summary" for "summary", "_default" for "default", placed it in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/de.mh21.indicator-multiload.gschema.xml and compiled the schemas in that directory with "sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/".

Now it multiload opens beautifully :-)

Are you sure the .deb file in the stable PPA includes that .xml file?

Nice :-).

Weird error, I will look into whether the file is correctly installed.
