Question Guake crashes and only a reboot can fix it?


Hi.

This happens very occasionally. Guake won't load. A system reset sorts it out (a log out/in does not). But is there another way?

Code:
guake
Code:
[WARN] Unable to load the library libutempter !
[WARN] The <wall> command will not work in guake !
[WARN] libutempter.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.42:/org/guake/RemoteControl: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code

    if not main():

    remote_object.show_hide()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Code:
killall guake
Code:
guake: no process found
----------

Guake Preferences loads fine. When I launch it from the terminal I get many lines like below. Perhaps that's a hint about the issue?

Code:
guake-prefs 
(prefs.py:5264): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.
(prefs.py:5264): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.
...
Thanks.

There's something here that might solve this (the post by nath): https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...-after-upgrade

Damn it! It's happened again.

I just decided to install Tilda and launch that manually and use the same hotkey (F12) whenever Guake crashes. Who knows - maybe I'll stay with Tilda.
