Progress bar does not appear on launcher

Adding twisted to this, as the big reason this no longer works, even with my branch to fix the .desktop file name used, is that twisted and gobject-introspection don't mix. So, we need to track that issue as well, though unlikely to be fixed for Final Freeze.

"twisted and gobjet-introspection don't mix" ← this should probably be filed upstream as an actual bug. http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/newticket

If you need a gobject-introspection-based reactor, then http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4558 is probably interesting. Feel free to contribute to that effort.

The twisted bug for this is http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4558 I think. Though the proposed 'fix' there isn't. Also, making yet another account, on yet another insecure web site, just for one bug, is not something I really want to do. I do have the beginnings of a branch to fix it though, at lp:~dobey/twisted/gi-support . Unfortunately, the SelectReactor design doesn't seem to work so well on Linux, and none of the necessary fd-polling API from glib/gio/gobject have been bound by gobject-introspection yet. :(

Jean-Paul, sorry, I didn't see your reply when I was writing mine. The reactor code in that bug is nonsense. It is a copy of the gtk2reactor.py code, with only the imports changed to be from gi.repository instead. It doesn't actually solve the problem, or even work. :)

I've heard other people say it doesn't work. That is a pretty compelling reason for someone who is interested in this functionality to help out. I'm glad to hear you're working on this. I look forward to seeing the results!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Sorry for commenting on this closed bug. But I think it belongs here. I'm using oneric with all updates installed. But I do not get a progress bar for U1 in the lauchner. The U1-icon disappeared from the launcher after the upgrade from Natty ( Bug #865593 ). I got it back by starting the U1-Control-Panel and pinning it to the launcher. But I do not have a progress bar. How can I get it back?

Andre, sorry for the slow reply. I just now saw your question. The bug is not fixed completely. The code in ubuntuone-client that uses the Unity API is fixed to use the new .desktop file, is all. There are still some underlying issues in Twisted which prevent this from working. I don't know if we will be able to fx it in Oneiric, as it will require patching in what may be called a substantial feature, in the Twisted library. We probably also need to re-open the ubuntuone-client bugs, as there will be some necessary changes to make there, so that it will work.

This bug was fixed in the package twisted - 11.1.0-1ubuntu1

Set this to Fix Released in all the ubuntuone-client tasks, as it now works as a result of the use of gireactor and other refactoring related to various gir vs. static bindings imports in the code.
