Exaile wont start

**TV-VCR** · 15-Nov-2009, 11:10

I have to admit I Don't like Amarok at all, it's just too clunky. So I installed Exaile (which uses GTK2) from repositories, and everything seemed to go fine. Whenever I start it though, it appears in the tray and the bouncing icon appears for around 30 seconds but then just disappear. Starting it from a Konsole reveals an error:

Code:

chris@Caesium:~> exaile
INFO    : Loading Exaile 0.3.0.1...
INFO    : Loading settings...
python: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/interfaces.so: undefined symbol: gst_stream_volume_format_get_type

What's going on here?

on openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 there was no problem starting up pitivi.. the problem seems to be in something python-ish..
Of course me too, I am interested in what's going on here, but more even in a possible solution.
TIA people, David

Thank goodness that I'm not the only one looking for a solution!

Cheers.

Definitely seems to be a python related problem. It also affects the Listen program.
The error is
python: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/interfaces.so: undefined symbol: gst_stream_volume_format_get_type

Seems to be an issue with python gstreamer lib. The problem seems to happen on other platforms besides Opensuse.

Can't figure out how to tell Opensuse to re-install the app.

I found the solution!

Open up the package manager.
Search for and select package python-gstreamer-0_10.
Go into the Versions tab.
Change the vendor from Packman (0.10.17) to openSUSE (0.10.16).
Hit accept and it's a cakewalk from there.

Perhaps a broken package? Regardless though, I'm happy.

Thanks TV-VCR.
That also fixed it for me.
