Fedora :: Amarok Fails To Start On 12 After Update?
Jul 15, 2010
I updated Fedora 12 a couple of weeks ago, and Amarok stopped working. The splash screen came up, and hung there until clicked on. Looking at the process, it uses 49-50% CPU (weird since it's on an Acer One netbook with an Atom N270 single core processor) and the memory footprint steadily increases. I hung on for another update to see if that fixed it, but one came through today with an update to Amarok, but it is still broken.
Since updating a few days ago I cannot start dolphin, digikam and a lot of other KDE apps any more. The error message from Dolphin is
Code: dolphin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libkdeinit4_dolphin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon11VideoPlayer5eventEP6QEvent The versions are openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit) and KDE 4.6.
I have a problem with Amarok. I did a yum update today (which completed ok) but now I cannot play music from Amarok. Rather, it appears as if it is playing but no sound is coming out of the speakers. Other players (xmms, mplayer, xine) are all working fine. A quick note is that on starting up, there is a message that "Phonon: KDE's multimedia library The audio playback device PulseAudio sound server does not work. falling back to." A google search shows that I may need to configure amarok to output sound using something like Alsa. Which is fine, I have alsa installed:
For the last few releases, I've remained with Amarok 1.4, but now that I've deemed Amarok 2 stable enough, I've upgrade, however, the lyrics to my songs (which I put in a lot of effort in downloading), are not reflecting. Is there anyway to export lyrics from Amarok 1.4 and import them in Amarok 2?
i have been trying to set zoneminder on fedora 12, after all setup. i see black screen on monitor. pasting the error below.

I am running fedora 10 and webmin squid proxy server, after power failure the squid fails to start. i have tried to start it from command line but failed
on the risk of starting another OO thread I would like to share my problem to resolve it... (found this 'challenge' nowhere on the forum) installed openoffice apps on my F11 64-bit box through add/remove software until some time ago everything worked well for all users now with one specific user OO hangs upon startup when opening a file (only displaying splash screen, nothing further). this user is nowhere blocked intentionally
to resolve I did:tried other users, all works well (starting from menu, opening files in Nautilus by double-click) renamed ~/.openoffice.org to ~/.openoffice.org.bak so new prefs are created, but new attempt results the same (freeze upon start) copied ~/.openoffice.org from well-run user, but new attempt results the same (freeze upon start)
installed gnumeric as an alternative but I like to bring this to a happy ending.giving enough eyeballs the solution must be out here somewhere
I'm using Fedora 14 / KDE and I'm having problems trying to start the Speech Dispatcher.I get the fallowing from the logs:Code:error while loading shared libraries: libsdaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I recently changed my system from Ubuntu/Suse to Fedora14. Starting Ardour2 or Ardour3 (both build from SVN) or Ardour from the Repo-Package I get this:
[code]...
Ardours Dev Paul Davis thinks, this is an issue with libxml2 but upgrading libxml2 and even downgrading it did not work either. With the fresh install of Fed14 2 weeks ago the Package from the repo did work very much OK. is there anything I can do?
I recently upgraded to Fedora 14, and was surprised to find that OpenOffice is not included in the distro like it was in previous versions. Anyways after installing it it was working until while ago when I downloaded the recommended updates, and now when I try to start it, nothing happens.
I have been using F13 Gnome desktop for a few mouths now but for some reason it won't start X anymore. I get this:
[Code]....
giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Don't knoiw what has changed? But I would like to get it fixed. I have installed F13 on another partition and it works OK.
With the last set of patches and updates my Fedora 12 box will get to starting ATD and the screen blnks a few times and the boot process stops.I tried typing "I" for interactive boot so I could skip "atd" and try to recover the box without any luck.
I just updated my Fedora 10 installation with the latest NetworkManager (NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-4.git20090324.fc10.i386) and now my NetworkManager fails to start. The output in the /var/log/messages is
Ejabberd fails to start in f-12. ejabberd-2.0.5-9.fc12.i686. This ran fine in f-10 and f-11. Getting a large number of strange error messages from the ejabberd log code...
Looks like it may be a permissions problem.
Anybody from the ejabberd community here that has gotten ejabberd to work on f-12?
I'm completely stumped by a problem with httpd in Fedora 13. It fails to start on boot: I can see: Starting htpd: FAILED, in /var/log/boot.log, but I can't find anything else in messages, audit.log or anywhere else that gives me any clue why. The weird thing is that running: run_init service httpd start after boot _works_ and the server runs fine, but even when it's running OK, service httpd status reports httpd dead but subsys locked
I'm guessing that the problem somehow relates to selinux, but I can't find anything in the audit logs that gives me a clue. How to turn on more logging so that I can get closer to the problem. I finally discovered the cause. This system was originally configured to use network services directly, without NetworkManager. It had been upgraded a number of times since installation. It seems that over time, if you have turned off NetworkManager, the defaults have changed. Used to be that the network services was 'enabled' by default (hence started at run time). Now, the default is 'disabled'. Httpd couldn't start because there was no network to start on. Enabling network services at boot time fixed this. I guess I should have noticed this. But one might think that httpd failing to start because of the lack of a network might at least give a warning message in the logs about the reason.
I have fedora 10 installed and when my monitor is turned off the X session fails to start because it can not probe for settings. Is there a way to hard code the settings for x instead of letting them assign dynamically on boot?
My wireless worked perfectly on my clean install of Fedora 11. However, after the system update, my wireless continued to work perfectly for about ten minutes. Then it dropped the network connection. however, it still says that it is connected, although I cannot load any web pages, nor get email, nor connect to anything at all.When I reload the connection it continues to say it is connected, after prompting for the password that used to be saved and used automatically. It now works for maybe a few seconds at a time, loading part of a web page, then stopping.
Since a while I get the following message when trying to update Eclipse release 3.4.2 on Fedora11x64:
An error occurred while unconfiguring the items to uninstall The artifact file for org.eclipse.equinox.launcher/osgi.bundle/1.0.101.R34x_v20080819 was not found.
Download of the packages seems to be OK. I also cannot do any manual update or installation.
installed F12 on my Acer Aspire 1640 laptop. everything seems to work fine and smooth, but.the software update does not work:
Code: Error Type: <class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'> Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in <module> main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main
I am running F13 GNOME on a Fujitsu laptop. It ran flawlessly for months until yesterday when I got this error message when I tried to do a software update:"Failed to initialize". Under "more details" I see: "YumBaseError: Error: rpmdb open failed"When I run anything in the command line with the word yum in it, I get:
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
I recently made a custom spin of fedora on 29th August 2009. It initially failed to go past the slash screen but a solution was found here on fedora forum. It included adding the following to kernel line in grub.
enforcing=0
I later checked SElinux and found the option to do a filesystem relabel at next boot was enabled. I rebooted the system without adding the above words "enforcing=o" and it got stuck after the the splash screen (the blue screen with a fedora bubble). I then did some more research on SElinux and filesystem relabelling. There were several comments that said that a notice is given in the event of a filesystem relabel. I went to the konsole and as root I wrote the following commands:
touch /.autorelabel reboot
I gave my pc 20Hrs 48min and nothing happened. My HDD is 80GB but it only had 7.5GB of data. There were no messages that indicated that the filesystem relabel was in progress or even if it had started. I also tried the following command but failed:
make relabel
I have now had to edit grub.conf and added the words "enforcing=0" as it is the only way the system will go passed the splash screen.
Arpwatch is failing to start at boot time. I got this message:
arpwatch: bad interface eth0: eth0: no ipv4 address assigned
Once I login into my account, I can (as root) run the arpwatch demon, but it is suppose to run at boot time. After I installed aprwatch, it was working correctly. I do not have an idea of what happens or since when the problem start to happen. I just realize, after a while , that arpwatch was not running. I am running Fedora 12 - 2.6.32.9-67.fc12
After the 4th install The printer will at least produce a test page, but the available resolution is low, I suspect I need the gutenprint enhanced drivers, printer is a EPSON R285. Where do I find the nvidia libs so I can use the Nvidia driver for my ancient 8500 GTX. Using the package manager find nvidia shows nothing.
Are these libs held on another repo, as in other distros?, and is Acroread availble? is there a listing if the repos somewhere, I have some apps that have to be compiled and are a pig to get going, due to using those funny cut down libs that ubuntu use. When I backed up the last failing version of FC13, which hung as soon as yum was started, didn't print ect, I didn't close firefox down before copying the file. So the user config is locked, ie, you get firefox is already running, and fails to start. I found parentlock and deleted it, but but there is another lock file that needs to be removed, and I can't find it.. Anyone know the location of the lockfiles for firefox.?
After installing nvidia drivers (sudo yum install kmod-nvidia), Fedora12 (kernel 2.6.31.12/5) fails to start. To be more exact, it show the 'loading screen', and then the screen gets all scrambled. Trying to switch the ttys doesn't work either (though I can boot in runlevel 3).
I know that there might be some conflicts with nouveu, but i followed the steps from 'Fedora Nvidia Driver Install Guide' (not allowed to post URLs), so I guess nouveu isn't exactly my problem(?).
Another puzzling thing about this, is that I can boot and use FC12 from VMware. No problems there. I also tried removing/reinstalling the kmod-nvidia (and everything else nvidia related), but the problem persists.
installing package kernel-debug-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686 needs 27MB on the /boot filesystem installing package kernel-doc-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.noarch needs 27MB on the /boot filesystem installing package setroubleshoot-2.2.50-1.fc12.i686 needs 27MB on the /boot filesystem installing package perf-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.noarch needs 27MB on the /boot filesystem installing package hunspell-1.2.8-13.fc12.i686 needs 27MB on the /boot filesystem installing package gettext-0.17-16.fc12.i686 needs 27MB on the /boot filesystem"
I have boot as a separate partition, this time around I have set it to ext4 for the first time. That partition is only 250 Mb, but that has always been sufficient in the past, perhaps I am holding too many kernels or kernel versions?
