Ardesia not work at Ubuntu 13.04 about ardesia HOT 19 OPEN

I tried trunk ( 1.2-1 ) version on ubuntu-gnome ubuntu-unity but result same, 
we can't draw screenand just see white color continuously

Same problem with Mint 15 Xfce. Running from terminal gives:

chris@mapuana ~/Temp/downloads $ ardesia
Enabled Device in screen 2. 0x256b080: "Virtual core pointer" (Type: 0)

(process:3550): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size 
== 0' failed
Segmentation fault

An earlier version (1.01) seems to work fine. I uninstalled the latest version 
completely, then just downloaded and installed 1.01 --> success!

My problem continue 1.01

When I uninstalled the newer version, I used Synaptic's "mark for complete 
removal" function. I figured that this would clean out whatever supporting 
library was misbehaving. Only then did I install the earlier version. If that 
doesn't do the job for you, then I'm stumped; sorry.

You don't say what, specifically, you want to do with Ardesia. For general 
screen annotation, you might try Gromit, which is in the *buntu repos. It's 
quirky, but when it works properly it does a good job.

Xournal works very well for annotating pdfs and for drawing on a white or 
colored background; it even has layers. And LibreOffice Impress allows drawing 
on a slide by right-clicking on a slide and choosing "use mouse as pen". For 
simple drawing, one can use a blank (i.e. plain white) slide.

Please try the trunk code

A warm hello to Italy! I tried the trunk version (revision 3004) of Ardesia-1.2 
on Ubuntu 13.04 and encountered the same (non-)effect as the original poster 
(as well as with 1.1 before). Upon closing the program, the drawing flashed 
briefly on the screen before the program finally closed. Running Ardesia from 
the command line listed some X-devices but no error.

Many thanks for this great program! I had it running on my computer before and 
I sincerely hope that it gets up and running soon!

I can confirm this behaviour in Kubuntu 13.04. Upon closing, the "overlay" 
briefly flashes, but nothing is visible during drawing

I start use Fedora 19 and have same problem. So Unity and Gnome have same 
problem.

I get that fail line if I want work with gnome "No such schema 
'org.florence.behaviour'"

With reference to gromit (made above under #5):

It does not work either in Kubuntu 13.04... seems to be the same problem than 
with ardesia. Activation using the Pause key works, but the drawing remains 
invisible.

soy nuevo en ubuntu o en linuk Ardesia parece ser el programa que estoy 
buscando pero no me trabaja correctamente, no se ve nada

Same problem. Invisible drawing... This is showing in terminal:

Enabled Device in screen 2. 0x81bbcf0: "Virtual core pointer" (Type: 0)

I think this is a framebuffer (composite) issue...  

I hope help us with this information.

en kubuntu 13.10 no veo lo que dibujo, pero cuando intento cerrar la barra de 
menú aparece repentinamente y desaparece lo que dibujé anteriormente

SAME PROBLEM here, with a new Thinkpad. I tried Unity, gnome, cinnamon. No 
effect

Ardesia it's working for me with Ubuntu 14.04, only different thing was i 
started with command line "$ardesia -g south"

But I start use Fedora 20 with gnome and if you use Ubuntu then you not need 
Ardesia because Ubuntu already have another working sketpatch/screen draw 
software... I am talking about Compiz...

not working, the draws are invisible and pop up when quit.

Ubuntu 14.04.1 in xfce session (install xfce4 and compiz, login xfce session 
and enable compiz)

and if it is started by: ardesia -g south

** (ardesia:2341): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to 
connect to socket /tmp/dbus-Fn8hQx5EQ5: Connection refused
Enabled Device in screen 2. 0x1245590: "Virtual core pointer" (Type: 0)
Segmentation fault

The same for me: nothing is displayed running the program. Only when closing it 
the image of what I drew flashes on the screen.

When reviewing what was saved during session, all my drawings are there.

Running the program from console says:
"
** (ardesia:PID)  WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to 
connect to socket /tmp/dbus-Kbkfn9ttWB: Connection refused
"

After entering the "project name" it says:

"
Enabled Device in screen 2. 0xe3ed90: "Virtual core pointer" (Type: 0)
"

May be this "screen 2" the problem, it is writing things somewhere else?
I get no "Segmentation fault" error.

I'm on Trisquel 7.0 with Gnome Classic.
