16:28:59 <Snapai> Hi. Anyone know what could be causing an "Unspecified fatal error encountered, aborting." under Windows, with nothing put in the log path or on the command line? :\ Using v2.2.9
16:31:19 <Snapai> The gnucash.trace file is never created...
16:31:39 *** jwshen has quit IRC
16:32:21 <cortana> an assertion failure, perhaps
16:35:44 *** tyabux has joined #gnucash
16:42:28 *** XiXaQ has quit IRC
16:43:28 <Snapai> Hm, maybe a different version will work..
16:44:44 <Snapai> Weird though, because the same version works just fine on my Windows system at home...just not on the laptop.
16:49:56 <warlord> Snapai: what version of windows?
16:50:34 *** Demitar has quit IRC
16:52:24 <Snapai> XP
16:52:26 <Snapai> Uh
16:52:44 <Snapai> XP professional SP2
16:52:46 <Snapai> 32-bit
16:54:34 <warlord> Hmm... That should work just fine..
16:54:47 <warlord> Did you try uninstalling and then installing again?
17:16:27 <Snapai> Yep
17:16:43 <Snapai> Looked at the FAQ for debug info, tried to find the trace file, etc
17:18:29 <Snapai> Aaaand 2.2.8 has the same issue :\
17:27:01 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
17:27:03 <warlord> Sounds like something funky on your laptop
17:36:11 *** blizgerg has joined #gnucash
17:36:42 <Snapai> Only difference is the processor - mobile AMD Athlon 2800+ vs Intel Core 2 Duo.
17:59:32 *** tyabux has quit IRC
18:03:12 <warlord> What happens if you uninstall, reboot, remove everything under %HOME%/{.gnucash*,.gconf*} ... and then re-install ?
18:07:37 <warlord> Snapai: sorry for the delayed response...
18:08:17 <Snapai> Hm. Not sure. That'll be a bit...
18:19:24 *** sjc has quit IRC
18:20:19 *** sjc has joined #gnucash

18:36:34 *** Snapai has quit IRC
18:49:34 *** Snapai has joined #GnuCash
18:49:39 <Snapai> No dice, still doesn't work
18:50:44 <Snapai> Removed an old GTK+ runtime install, plus everything gnome/gtk related in my user directory, same error. Thought maybe it was a space-in-pathname issue, because I've run into other programs having that problem, but installing to a spaceless path didn't work either.
18:52:36 <warlord> Oooh, what about non-letter/numbers in path?
18:53:50 <Snapai> C:\gnucash ? :P
18:55:18 <warlord> No, your user path.
18:56:35 <Snapai> That's....very long.
18:58:22 <Snapai> C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.4-Q16;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\SFU\common\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\wscite;C:\gs\gs8.60\bin\;C:\gs\gs8.60\lib\;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32;C:\Program Files\gnuwin32\bin;C:\Python25\;C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\;C:\GTKmm\bin;C:\SDL-1.2.13\bin;C:\Python25
18:58:22 <Snapai> ;C:\Program Files\MPlayer-1.0rc2;C:\Program Files\SWFTools
19:01:38 <Snapai> And I doubt it's any different on the system that I have that gnucash *is* working on.
19:01:45 <warlord> What is %HOME% ?
19:02:15 *** RobotCow has joined #gnucash
19:02:27 <warlord> (sorry, I meant %HOME% for user path, not %PATH% -- mea culpa)
19:02:51 <Snapai> Not defined.
19:04:36 <warlord> What's the full path to your user homedir?
19:04:49 <Snapai> C:\Documents and Settings\Snapai\
19:05:40 <Snapai> It does manage to create the .gnucash folder there before dying
19:10:39 <Snapai> BRB
19:10:40 *** Snapai has quit IRC
19:12:18 *** XiXaQ has joined #gnucash
19:31:38 *** Snapai has joined #gnucash
19:31:51 <Snapai> Well....that helped a bunch of OTHER random stuff, but gnucash still won't run. :|
19:32:40 <warlord> Hmm.. I have no idea what an "unspecified error" is. You might try asking on the gnucash-user mailing list -- many more win32 people there. I'm not a win32 person.
19:34:15 * Snapai nod
19:34:47 <warlord> sorry.
19:35:19 <Snapai> I was running Omega drivers on my laptop, switched them back to the ones HP provided. Didn't fix gnucash, but now I don't have the weird issue where videos require a mouse event over USB to advance to the next frame. =P
19:38:13 * Snapai ughs, installs Nano into the path somewhere. :P
19:45:45 <warlord> See, so the laptop and the desktop ARE different!!!!
19:47:26 <Snapai> Well yeah.
19:47:57 <Snapai> Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. 0x685ef22b in g_logv () from C:\Program Files\gnucash\bin\libglib-2.0-0.dll
19:48:53 <Snapai> http://www.pastebin.org/18788
19:54:40 <warlord> Huh! Do you have some sort of firewall? Or do you not have a 'loopback' network?
19:55:15 <Snapai> Pinging 127.0.0.1 works just fine
19:55:59 <Snapai> Oh hay
19:56:13 <Snapai> ...I just now noticed that it references a source file there at the end. I should see what that is.
19:57:06 * Snapai downloads source pkg. :P
19:59:33 <warlord> The trap is coming from orbit.
20:00:27 <warlord> Take a look at giop_tmpdir_init () at giop.c:183
20:00:36 <warlord> Maybe TMPDIR doesn't exist, or isn't writable?
20:01:59 <warlord> (or if that's not useful then giop_init (thread_safe=1, blank_wire_data=1) at giop.c:560 )
20:03:57 *** cortana has quit IRC
20:07:47 <Snapai> http://www.pastebin.org/18792
20:09:26 <Snapai> Hmm
20:11:41 <Snapai> Ahaaa
20:11:45 <Snapai> I wonder if that's it...
20:13:22 <Snapai> OK, fixed, thanks!
20:13:23 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
20:13:37 <Snapai> The difference between my two systems: %TMPDIR% was defined on this one
20:13:45 <Snapai> AND....it was defined using $var instead of %var%
20:16:46 <Snapai> Thanks for the help :)
