Bug Description

I installed synapse on Linux Mint 10 LXDE. When I try to start synapse in the terminal, I get the following error:

$ synapse

** (synapse:3269): WARNING **: desktop-file-service.vala:267: Desktop session type is not recognized, assuming GNOME.

[17:25:46.271924 Info] [GuiSynapseWindow] Screen is NOT composited.
Segmentation fault

What can I do to get synapse to play nicely with the LXDE desktop?

Starting program: /usr/bin/synapse

Look into the Package Manager Synaptics (the one you use to install software), and look at the version of the installed package :)

Sorry. Stupid question. Here is the info:

synapse~0.2.6~bzr433~maverick1
libzeitgeist-10.0-0
zeitgeist is not installed.

I installed synapse on my LM 10 LXDE system with:

$ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install synapse

The system is on my Zepto Znote V11a netbook. I installed synapse with no recommends on this system, because I experienced monitor flickering problems on my self built AMD powered desktop box. Those problems went away when I uninstalled (sudo apt-get remove --purge, sudo deborphan) everything related to synapse and then reinstalled synapse with no recommends. Information about the AMD system is here:

Ok, the problem is that Zeitgeist is required :)
So if you install zeitgeist, it should be fine!

Cheers. Synapse now works on my LM 10 LXDE system.

I though zg was not needed but only optional ? The zg plugin should not desactivated itself in this case ?

Julien, this is a special case:
- libzeitgeist => installed
- zeitgeist => not installed
And this is crazy, I think that the error is in libzeitgeist, not in Synapse..

But maybe I'm wrong.. I'm not 100% sure..
