I have GE installed on a 64bit 11.1 system, and when i try to launch GE, I get the following error message, and GE hangs on the splash screen:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so’ from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
I understand it has something to do with the linker trying to load a 64bit module, but even installing the 32bit version of V4L2 did not help …
perhaps I should also mention that I have an ATI card, radeon x1300, with the fglrx driver …
I have the same issue and have found no resolution as of yet. I’m using an Nvidia 9600GT with 180.44 driver.
I updated my v4l-32bit and updated my libxcb-32bit to the latest versions from the packman repo and the Xorg repo. This seems to have resolved the issue.
I’ve also turned off desktop effects temporarily, but I don’t think that actually has anything to do with it.
thanks! I added the xorg repo (packman was already in the sources) and ge loaded, if slowly - had to deactivate composition, though, since the ATI driver cannot cope with boht, and ge’s 3d rendition flickers horribly if composite is on
thanks again!
