This error has come back in my app, and I am wondering (beating my
head against wall ;)) what to do for it. Seeking suggestions/advice on how to fix this for good. test-speech works well in similar case.
When I get the error:
The logged in user holding the X window (whose bonobo-activation-server is already running) does not face any problem
in running my app. But another user, when he starts the application, he gets following error, and my app does not start
gnome-speech(bonobo server I want to activate) :-
---file bonobo-activation-activate.c: line 260
(bonobo_activation_query): assertion `ac != NULL' failed---
Would anybody be having the idea why this happens?
Relevant Code
#define OBJ_ID
CORBA_Environment ev;
int num_arg =0;
/*initialise bonobo*/
CORBA_exception_init (&ev);
if (!bonobo_is_initialized())
if (!bonobo_init (NULL, NULL))
{
fprintf (stderr, "Could not setup Bonobo environment for speech
synthesis.\n");
IsAvailable = false;
return false;
}
if (BONOBO_EX (&ev)) {
fprintf (stderr, "Could not setup Bonobo environment for speech
synthesis. Related Exception %s\n", bonobo_exception_get_text (&ev));
IsAvailable = false;
return false;
}
if (!bonobo_activation_is_initialized())
bonobo_activation_init (num_arg, CORBA_OBJECT_NIL);
if (BONOBO_EX (&ev)) {
fprintf (stderr, "Could not setup Bonobo activation for speech
synthesis. Related Exception %s\n", bonobo_exception_get_text (&ev));
IsAvailable = false;
return false;
}
/*[FAILS HERE] Query for speech servers */
servers = bonobo_activation_query (OBJ_ID,NULL, &ev);
if (BONOBO_EX (&ev) || servers == CORBA_OBJECT_NIL) {
fprintf (stderr, "Fetching Speech servers information failed.
Related Exception %s.\n", bonobo_exception_get_text (&ev));
return false;
}
CORBA_exception_free (&ev);
What I did to get this information on running it in terminal.
export BONOBO2_DEBUG=all
export BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG=1
export BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT=1

When running test-speech [which also calls bonobo_activation_query]
There is absolutely no error/warning message. I have made code of test-speech similar to my code and also have made all compilation, linking options similar but still this fails. Any ideas, when ac!= NULL assertion strikes ? Basically, I am wondering where to look?
