Package: marionnet
Version: 0.90.6+bzr407-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I saw marionet coming into testing a few days ago and I wanted to give it a
try.
After installation (with aptitude) I keyed "marionnet" in a terminal.
A marionnet main window appeared and child pop ups with it.
In the terminal I see :
** (marionnet:710): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not
provided by any .service files
I don't understand this warning.
One popup says "missing dependancy" (in French) about filesystems.
Another syays "no connection to daemon" (Unix.Unix_error(20, "connect", ""));
The third says "missing dependancy" about "a default UML kernel for virtual
computers".
Moreover it is a pain to close the splash screen and the 3 popups because some
(unadvertised) order seems required.
So first try, not so good. But according to the screencasts it seems I'm only
facing some minor installation or configuration issue.
I hope this report is usefull enough.
Have fun packaging for Debian
Pierre M.

Hi Pierre,
The new version of the marionnet package in unstable should address your problems:
- there's an init script to start the daemon
- a warning is displayed at daemon startup if no kernels/filesystems are
installed
I'm closing this bug, but I would be interested in feedback about that
package, if you can test it.
Lucas
