[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 244683] Re: monodevelop crashes on startup directly after installation

[Testing Tigerwolf]

Hi,

I don't know if it exactly the same bug that I encounter, but I have the
same kind of problem as Martin, since I have upgrade to Kubuntu 13.04 :


What I have done:
---------------------
1. Install monodevelop using apt-get
2. Launch it 
      - using graphical interface
      - using the Konsole
      - using the Konsole with the "no-splash" option


What happens:
-----------------
1. No installation error, everything seems ok at this stage
2.
     - using graphical interface: 
        nothing happens
        no "monodevelop" process in KSysGuard

     - using the Konsole:
        nothing happens
        still no "monodevelop" process in KSysGuard

     - using the Konsole with the "no-splash" option:
     An error occurs, and a error window appears : "MonoDevelop could not start. The following error has been detected :  
     Method not found: 'MonoDevelop.Components.Docking.DockFrame.ToCairoColor'."

     For more information, see attachment "MonoDevelop_crash_at_launch".


Thanks for your help

Title:
  monodevelop crashes on startup directly after installation

Status in “monodevelop” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. Install monodevelop using apt-get
  2. Launch it

  Actual:
  monodevelop crashes and shows the following error inside an error dialog:
  System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for MonoDevelop.Core.Gui.Services ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Extension node not found in path: /MonoDevelop/Core/PlatformService
    at Mono.Addins.ExtensionContext.GetExtensionObjects (System.String path, System.Type arrayElementType, Boolean reuseCachedInstance) [0x00000] 
    at Mono.Addins.ExtensionContext.GetExtensionObjects (System.String path) [0x00000] 
    at Mono.Addins.AddinManager.GetExtensionObjects (System.String path) [0x00000] 
    at MonoDevelop.Core.Gui.Services..cctor () [0x00000] --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

    at MonoDevelop.Ide.Gui.IdeStartup.Run (System.String[] args) [0x00000] 

  
  Expected:
  Monodevelop should start normally.


  Note 1: I've talked to monodevelop developers on IRC and they suspect it's a packaging bug.
  Note 2: I've also tried to "sudo apt-get remove monodevelop", "sudo apt-get purge monodevelop", deleting the ~/.config/MonoDevelop folder completely followed by "sudo apt-get install monodevelop". I still see the exact same bug.
