[PC-BSD Testing] Kaffeine plug-in and Skype 1.4 PBI

[vato12003]

Hi all,

I have found these two regressions after upgrading from PC-BSD 1.5 to PC-BSD
1.5.1.

Under PC-BSD 1.5 it was possible to watch the trailers at
http://www.apple.com/trailers. After the upgrade to PC-BSD 1.5.1 the Kaffeine
plug-in in Konqueror stopped working. It still appears under about:plugins
though.

Skype 1.4.0.118_4 installed with the PBI also stopped working after the
upgrade to PC-BSD 1.5.1. It crashes after signing in with the following
message:

terminate called after throwing an instance
of 'Skype::Exceptions::GetObjectError'
what(): CallMember
Abort trap

Skype 1.2 from ports still works in PC-BSD 1.5.1.

I haven't tried Skype yet, but the movie trailers play fine in
Kaffieine on mine. I did a clean install of 1.5 and a pbi upgrade to
1.5.1...

I was able to confirm the first problem with playing trailers, the same
thing happened on my system here.

To fix, do this as root:

# cd /usr/local/share/services/
# rm kaboodle*
* Restart KDE*

Whats happening is that kaboodle is trying to play the movies, instead
of kmplayer or kaffeine. Removing these services fixes the issue.

As for Skype, the PBI works great on my system which I've upgraded from
1.5 -> 1.5.1 also. Can you try re-installing the PBI, and deleting the
.Skype folder to confirm?

The trailers are playing now, good.

Skype 1.4 from the PBI still crashes. Even after using the repair option on
the PC-BSD 1.5.1 installation disk and reinstalling all the PBIs and ports
and making sure that no Skype configuration files were left from an earlier
installation.
