 Hello,

 This is my second attempt to install Geeqie. I did a full MacPorts
 uninstall using the instructions from your site.
 My process was as follows:
 1. install MacPorts using your installer.
 2. Install **py312-setuptools** which was an issue with my first install.
 (#69111)
 3. Run the Geeqie installer.

 I showed all hidden files in Finder and was unable to find the folder
 references below...I even do some manual search but to no avail. So I have
 copied all Terminal Commands that I executed and they are attached.

 {{{
 Error: Failed to activate gnome-desktop: command execution failed
 Error: See
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gnome-desktop/gnome-
 desktop/main.log for details.
 }}}

 Of note, on my first install, I was able to install Geeqie successfully,
 it is noted in my first ticket. However, the application never launched
 and since the ticket was closed after I was referred to the ticket to
 install "py312-setuptools." I added a brief screen video, but received no
 response so did did the uninstall/clearn reinstall today. That said, I
 would appreciate that ticket be kept open until I confirm that it is
 working. It may take a day or two, but I'm used to closing my own tickets
 with vendors who I work with during my job.

 Thanks,
 Jim

Comment (by ryandesign):

 We close tickets when we fix them, and we only keep one ticket open for a
 given issue, so since your build failure was a duplicate of another
 ticket, we closed it in favor of the earlier one, and the earlier ticket
 closed when its fix was committed to the repository.

 We use one ticket per issue, so when, after resolving the build failure,
 you encountered a new problem, that needed to go in a new ticket, so we'll
 use this ticket to track that issue now, although I guess there are two
 new issues: the failure to launch and now, after reinstallation, the
 failure to activate.

 Normally, /opt/local/var/macports is hidden in the Finder. You can press
 Command-Shift-Period in the Finder (or use other means) to see hidden
 items, but you also don't need to do that. To attach the log you can also
 just copy the full logfile path to the clipboard, then click "Attach
 another file" and "Choose File", and in the file chooser, press Command-
 Shift-G to bring up the Go panel, paste in the logfile path you copied,
 press Return twice, and click "Add Attachment".
