This seems to be a problem in the upstream code, there were multiple reports upstream already: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/issues/263 (The same happens on my machine.) Btw: I'm not thrilled that this -rc code made it into Fedora stable even more so that the new version crashes immediately after startup (at least in some - likely common - situations). At least I can confirm the issue, same happens for me. Btw: The current workaround is to use 1.04-5.fc23 ("sudo dnf downgrade hamster-time-tracker")

(In reply to Markus Heberling from comment #10) > Downgrading did work for me, so might be worth trying out for others, if > they run into the same problem. What I learnt from my debugging is that error messages like the one here are just "high-level symptoms". Basically Hamster starts two background processes and communicates with them using dbus. Now if you see an error message like "ServiceUnknown" this usually means one of these background processes crashed so the dbus query timed out. For Hamster 2.0 downgrading is likely to help in all cases until Fedora's package is fixed. For reports with Hamster 1.x downgrading (obviously) won't be an option but users could debug this by starting "hamster-service" and "hamster-windows-service" manually using the command line (they should see backtraces etc there). However Hamster 1.x is not supported anymore by upstream so debugging these old problems is not really worthwile. Felix, thanks a lot for debugging this. The root cause wasn't easy to find. As hamster is now a central package for several other user interfaces (i.e. GNOME, Xfce) and Ankur and me are of limited free time to care, we need more co-maintainers. Do you want to become a co-maintainer? If yes, please request so in PkgDB and I can approve. :) (In reply to Markus Heberling from comment #10) > Downgrading did work for me, so might be worth trying out for others, if > they run into the same problem. Sure. But version 1.04 had also a bunch of abrt bugs. Currently, I can not say for sure if they had the same root cause as now Felix found out.

Right now I'm just watching hamster as I already neglect my Fedora packages too much and on top I'm not really sure if I like the UI of hamster 2 so maybe I'll fork that anyway + develop something on top to resolve the feature regressions. (In reply to Raphael Groner from comment #13) > But version 1.04 had also a bunch of abrt bugs. Currently, I can not > say for sure if they had the same root cause as now Felix found out. 1.04 had it's fair share of problems, yes. However the gio bug wasn't triggered in 1.04 because the old version did not set the problematic monitoring flag. hamster-time-tracker-2.0-0.3.rc1.fc22 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 22. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-c97f297cd6 hamster-time-tracker-2.0-0.3.rc1.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-7d556fdafa The update does fix the startup problem. But there are a number of problems in this new version: 1. It fails to export anything for me. The save dialog doesn't appear initially. The second try, it appears but save button doesn't work. 2. There is still two icons for Hamster: Timer tracker & Time tracker overview. Both of them open the main hamster window. (There is no overview UI anymore). 3. The UI is considerably different from 1.x series. I wonder if it is really appropriate for F23 & specially F23. I personally miss the tray icon. Should I keep the window open (and clutter my Alt+Tab list & make switching between windows harder)?! OK, actually I don't complain why it is in F23. It'll just make me feel the pain a bit later (F24). Anyway, this item is probably too off topic. Sorry. sorry to bother you again, I found new info: 1. The new window is actually the overview window! 2. The main window is effectively replaced by https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/425/project-hamster-extension/ This means that, IMHO, without this extension, the package is not complete. I wonder how it is planned to be used in non-Gnome desktops though! Felix, thank you for the hint. I ran into the same problem today and luckily downgrading did work for me. hamster-time-tracker-2.0-0.3.rc1.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 testing repository.

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I finally did get the new version installed, and it was not crashing. The interface change was also a bit of a surprise and annoyance for me. On a whim, I tired a google search for "xfce time tracker" and found that here is a xfce4-hamster-plugin. :-) https://github.com/projecthamster/xfce4-hamster-plugin $ sudo dnf search xfce4-hamster-plugin Contacting OpenClient Router for restricted repository information Added restricted repo: RHEL-7-x86_64-crashplan Added restricted repo: Fedora-23-x86_64-Licensed Last metadata expiration check performed 0:14:17 ago on Thu Feb 18 12:17:36 2016. ============================================== N/S Matched: xfce4-hamster-plugin ============================================== xfce4-hamster-plugin.x86_64 : Time tracker port of the 'hamster project extension' for the xfce4 panel $ sudo dnf install xfce4-hamster-plugin Contacting OpenClient Router for restricted repository information Added restricted repo: RHEL-7-x86_64-crashplan Added restricted repo: Fedora-23-x86_64-Licensed Last metadata expiration check performed 0:14:37 ago on Thu Feb 18 12:17:36 2016.
