[Bug 1072457] Re: telepathy plugin is not functional

 

Did it ever work in the past?

>From what I can see no... This plugin has been written using an old,
deprecated  version of dbus, so anyway I have to rewrite it from
scratch.

Title:
  telepathy plugin is not functional

Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  in Ubuntu 12.04.1 (with all current updates applied), it is impossible
  to run:

   remmina -x telepathy (or remmina --plugin telepathy)

  …because there is some problem with "undefined symbol" (error output):

   /usr/bin/remmina: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/remmina/plugins
  /remmina-plugin-telepathy.so: undefined symbol: remmina_tp_handler_new

  
  This bug prevents using remmina vnc client instead of vinagre one when someone wants to share her/his desktop with you through "share my desktop" functionality in Empathy.

  It is quite unfortunate, because remmina is generally better (not
  only) vnc client (thus the default remote desktop access client in
  Ubuntu), but this bug prevents it to be drop-in replacement for
  vinagre.

  Disclaimer:
  As not a programmer, I'm not able to describe more internals of this problem. It seems, that this error may have various roots (according probably good written introduction https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2010/09/your-worst-enemy-undefined-symbol which I unfortunatelly don't understand at all)
