Jami crashes (dring not available)

Hello!

I’m running Guix on Parabola and I’ve installed Jami through it. When I
try to run it, the welcome window appears, but pops up a message saying
it couldn’t connect to the Jami daemon (dring). Running from the
command line, the following message is spammed:

  ** (jami-gnome:2299): WARNING **: 11:50:50.736: Error : dring is not
  available, make sure it is running

And eventually it prints this:

  ** (jami-gnome:2299): WARNING **: 11:50:54.318: could not reconnect
  to the daemon

I’ve asked around #guix on Freenode and it seems to be working for some
other people, so I reckon the issue probably lies with my setup. The
Jami version is ‘20200710.1.6bd18d2’. I’ll try to attach the full log
as ‘jami-error.txt’. Any help and ideas are much appreciated!

Regards
// Tirifto

How are you starting Jami?

On the command line, I just run ‘jami’. ‘whereis jami’ points to
‘/gnu/store/[…]’. The same problem occurs when I run ‘jami-gnome’
(which is also located in ‘/gnu/store/[…]’ and has a desktop entry in
my menu).

I think ‘jami’ is just supposed to run ‘jami-gnome’, though.

(Sorry for double reply; the list got left out the first time around.)

You can try running the daemon manually:
1. get the path to libring by running "guix build libring"
2. You are going to get something like this, copy and paste it to a
terminal
/gnu/store/lymcxmd0k50n8wg89yns34fpw6li2md1-libring-20200710.1.6bd18d2
3. Add "/lib/ring/dring" at the end:
/gnu/store/lymcxmd0k50n8wg89yns34fpw6li2md1-libring-20200710.1.6bd18d2/lib/ring/dring
4. Run it.

Then your client should be able to connect to the daemon.

If anyone has any idea why Jami doesn't start on external
distributions, please tell me.

This worked like a charm! Thanks a lot, both for the fix and for the
packaging. :)

I would guess the client can’t find the daemon on foreign
distributions, for some reason, and therefore isn’t able to start it.
But I don’t know how the insides work. :/
