Miro Fails to Start

hello,
my OS is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 12.1. i installed Miro (v 5.0-8.4) from Packman repo. but when i try to start Miro, i get the following error:

smithark@linux-hjm9:~> miro
using /usr/bin/gdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

waiting for your reply.

So to see how Miro is working these days, I installed it from Packman and it does work OK for me. Here is what I am using:

  1. openSUSE 12.1 64 bit
  2. Kernel 3.4 installed using SAKC
  3. nVIDIA driver 295.53 loaded using SANDI
  4. KDE Desktop 4.8.3
  5. I am not using Tumbleweed
  6. I also have the Gnome desktop loaded, but I normally run only KDE

The last item, loading the Gnome desktop, seemed to make the difference for me the last time I could not get Miro to load and after some other applications too had a problem, I just install Gnome as a normal course of action these days.

Thank You,

There is a dedicated tumbleweed forum, you should ask there. Also I hope
you installed from packman/tumbleweed, not packman/12.1 repo, that breaks.

ok. i’ll try installing gnome alongside see if i can get it to work. thanks for your reply.

@ robin_listas,
ya i know. but i guessed this couldnt have anything to do with tumbleweed, but with the player and thought this is will a more suitable place to post it. and yes, i have Packman-Tumbleweed and not Packman-12.1 as my repo.

Hello all,

I recently tried to install miro on my OpenSuSE 12.1 notebook, this is the error message i got when it failed to launch:

jens@nb-jens:~> miro
using /usr/bin/gdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/miro.real”, line 34, in <module>
from miro.plat import xlibhelper
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/miro/plat/xlibhelper.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

I can see that there is a problem with my python, however I’m not sure what to do with it :slight_smile:

Thanks for all answers!
