Bug 2918

debug   :  (/home/ratcliffes/Desktop/cairo-dock-3.1.2/src/gldit/cairo-dock-keyfile-utilities.c:cairo_dock_write_keys_to_file:44)  

  this module ('/usr/lib/cairo-dock/libcd-shortcuts.so') was compiled with Cairo-Dock v3.2.1, but Cairo-Dock is in v3.1.2

I guess you installed cairo-dock 3.2.1 from rpmfusion, however 3.1.2 cairo-dock is left under your home directory, and it is bearing confusion. Please clean up your environment and try again.

(needinfo from reporter - it seems rpmfusion bugzilla cannot set needinfo status...)

If only it was so simple. Now I don't need a symlink but the issue remains.

First I remove it:
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.config/cairo-dock # just to be safe
$ sudo yum remove cairo-dock*

Using updatedb and then locate cairo-dock I can see that there is no trace of cairo-dock.

$ sudo yum install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
Which installs:
cairo-dock-3.2.1-1.fc19.x86_64
cairo-dock-plug-ins-3.2.1-1.fc19.x86_64
cairo-dock-core-3.2.1-1.fc19.x86_64

Running cairo-dock produces the following output:
$ cairo-dock
cairo-dock: Symbol `g_openglConfig' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
cairo-dock: Symbol `myDocksParam' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking

  this module ('/usr/lib/cairo-dock/libcd-shortcuts.so') was compiled with Cairo-Dock v3.2.1, but Cairo-Dock is in v3.1.2
  It will be ignored
etc.

The output is identical to the previous output.

* Please clean up /home/ratcliffes/Desktop/cairo-dock-3.1.2/
* If it does not help, please attach the result of strace, i.e.

$ strace cairo-dock -c -l debug

I guess some plugins you compiled by yourself still remains somewhere, cairo-dock tries to load it (version 3.1.2) and it fails.

Maybe you can create another account and try with that account to check if this issue still occurs.

strace -f cairo-dock -c -l debug

is more verbose and useful.

strace

The directory /home/ratcliffes/Desktop/cairo-dock-3.1.2/ does not exist, not even when cairo-dock is running so there is nothing to clean out.

Anyhow, I have never compiled it so the referenced source files e.g. /home/ratcliffes/Desktop/cairo-dock-3.1.2/src/gldit/cairo-dock-X-utilities.c have never been on my system.

The same problem exists with a fresh user account.

I suspect the fact that it tries to load plugins from /usr/lib/cairo-dock/ instead of /usr/lib64/cairo-dock/ is probably important here. I am having to create a symlink to work around that issue.

I have been fixing this plugin issue using:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/cairo-dock/ /usr/lib/cairo-dock

The strace is attached.

Please check

* ls -al /usr/lib/libgldi.so*
* rpm -qf /usr/lib/libgldi.so*
* rpm -qa | grep cairo-dock

Anyway the message

/home/ratcliffes/Desktop/cairo-dock-3.1.2/src/gldit/cairo-dock-X-utilities.c

should not be printed out from rpmfusion binary. I guess this is from
/usr/lib/libgldi.so.3 (not /usr/lib64/libgldi.so.3), and perhaps this binary is not from rpmfusion one.

Okay, then what happens when you remove /usr/lib/libgldi.so* ?

Yup, that fixes it but I have no idea how those files got there.

Well, I have no idea, either, however anyway I am glad that the issue you saw was resolved. Thank you for reporting anyway.
