Fedora :: Rhthmbox Fails To Play Anything On Fc11 (except As Root)
Jan 11, 2010
my rhythmbox used to work fine. i updated my computer and restarted it today and it failed to play anything but does not generate any errors either. however, if i run it from terminal as root it works fine.
so it seems like a few other people have had this issue after an update and seem to blame gstreamer-plugins. i tried a couple of things including removing gstreamers-plugins (good, bad and ugly) and rhythmbox and then reinstalling them all. none of which seemed to work for rhythmbox. (this method seemed to work for mplayer which was also not playing anything after the update.)

FC11 i386 dvd iso image passes pgp verify. Burns fine and verifies fine under nero. Boots fine and verifies fine on my athlon system and installs just fine. Not one issue at all. 1374 pkgs install without issue. Take the same disc put it into my dell poweredge 2850 (dual xeon) and the disc fails to verify.
Even if I go ahead and try to install, it will boot and go through the menus. Then on package install at some point it will say one is corrupt and halts the install. Yet ubuntu 9.04 installs just fine on it. So I don't see how it could be the dvd player itself, though not 100% ruled out.

I'm running into this issue after installing Fedora Core 11 off DVD. Anaconda install the first part of the installation, then after reboot it goes into run level 3 (I think, where you have to login as root) I noticed that it said xserver failed to load before it actually boots Anaconda.
Maybe I should pull a graphic's card? I have logged in as root after the base install and did a lspci, and you can see the two Nvidia Quadro FX1700's and you can tell it is an intel board with the Intel Corp 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express ports. Also you can navigate through the linux directories via ls \. I tried YUM to find/install the graphics drivers but it says something about metadata not being configured. I checked the IP address with ifconfig and had to manually assign an ip.

I have a Dell Optiplex 760 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
running:
I tried to upgrade to FC11 via download and DVD and in both cases the install hangs on bootstrap right after remounting the root filesystem in read/write mode.
Since it hangs in this manner, I have not been able to gather any logs...

I have a Fujitsu Lifebook A3130, and I have semi-recently installed Fedora 11. I am still a fairly new linux user, and would like to continue to use this great open source software, but it seems my DVD drive fails to play DVD's. The specs are here, but unfortunately they don't give much detail as to the model number of the drive in question. I insert the disk, and it pops up with the following dialogue:
You have just inserted a Video DVD. Choose what application to launch. Select how to open "disk name" and weather to perform this action in the future for other media of type "video DVD". It then suggests opening the disk in "Movie Player", and provides a check box for "Always perform this action". I hit OK, and it seems to try to open Movie Player, but then comes up with this error:
An error occurred
Could not read from resource.
Then it provides an "OK" button. When I click the button it goes back to Movie Player, and proceeds to not show any video.
I just tried to open the disk inside of Movie Player, via the "Movie" menu, then clicking "play disk 'disk name'", but once again I get an error:
Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because it does not have the appropriate plugins to be able to read from the disk. Please install the necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to play this media.
And again it provides an OK button, which diverts back to the main Movie Player window.

I rsync-ed root fs as a whole to another hard drive. In grub.conf I changed kernel option
root=/dev/sda1 ---> root=/dev/sdb
After kernel mounted root filesystem on the new hdd and all services started I successfully got prompt to enter login and password. However after login I immediatelly logout automatically. Here is /var/log/secure output:
Quote:
May 20 23:53:18 localhost login: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user alex by alex(uid=0)
May 20 23:53:18 localhost login: LOGIN ON tty2 BY alex
May 20 23:53:18 localhost login: pam_unix(login:session): session closed for user alex
What is printed before this:
Quote:
May 20 23:50:47 localhost pam: gdm-password[1469]: gkr-pam: couldn't run gnome-keyring-daemon: Access denied
May 20 23:50:47 localhost pam: gdm-password[1455]: gkr-pam: gnome-keyring-daemon didn't start properly properly
Neither of these quotes appears if the initial file system (not rsync-ed) is used as root fs. I guess that pam might use information of hard drive, for example, its serial number, and login is tied to a disk. Please, give me a suggestion how to get rid of automatic logout.

I am working with Rhel 5.5. I am creating rpms and I have an issue. I want to bzip up the file before I make the rpm. Then I want to unzip it at install time. I add the zip up work to the %prep tag and added the unzip to the %prerun tag of the SPEC file. Everything works fine.
Then I install the rpm to a different folder with rpm -i --root /tmp for example and the scripts fail to run because the script can't find /bin/sh.
It makes sense because rpms are dependent on the absolute paths to the file, but I want to know how to still have the scripts run. I tried to put the /bin/sh in the /tmp folder (in the example above) but it still can't find it. And yes i do have /bin/sh on the system.

I have a desktop computer with a DVD drive in it.
I have two laptops, neither of which have a DVD drive, but all of them are on a wireless network at home.
I have the DVD drive shared across the laptops using NFS. (I can post the etc/exports and the fstab files if need be, but I don't think they are the problem).
Two days ago, I put a DVD in the desktop machine, fired up the first laptop (x61s), opened VLC on the laptop and watched the DVD fine across the network. Very good it all was too.
Yesterday, I tried exactly the same, and it failed. The DVD fails to open on VLC. It doesn't buffer, it doesn't show the length of the disk, it just goes back to the 'no media loaded' state.
It's doing the same now. If I run VLC from the command line, it gives the following:
Code:
The same thing happens from the other laptop (X31), and when I do the same I get this set of messages in the terminal:
Code:
This doesn't mean a lot to me, but it looks like there is some problem accessing the disk in the desktop machine. BUT it plays fine if I open VLC on the desktop machine, so it works that far.
The funny thing is that it worked across the network fine on the first laptop (x61s) a couple of days ago, and I don't think I have changed anything on either machine since then. (I suspect it worked fine on the second laptop - X31 - but don't recall trying it.)

I am having a constant problem with all media. All songs and video locally will not play smoothly. They are broken usually with no sound. It takes about 10 real time seconds to play one second of a song.Moving on.. using Totem movie player, but I switched to mplayer and am still having the problem. I have looked into the problem and I believe it has to do with the Win32 Codecs plugin. The current plugin running is LibMad0 (whatever you call it)I also have the libmad0-dev pkg installed. This is the default plugin I believe for mplayer, but after extracting the Win32 codec filento /usr/lib/Win32 it did not make a ifference. So question, how can I make it revert to the Win32 codec plugin?Specs:HP Pavilion dv4Notebook PC Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz64bit processor.

I currently have mplayer installed with the binary codecs in place, but it seems that mplayer is quite picky with which files it wants to play.
I have three files that are all mp4 h264 .mkv's. One of them is ~20 minutes long (720p) and mplayer seems to do just fine. Another is around ~90 minutes (1080p) and within seconds the audio gets out of sync. The third file is also around ~90 minutes long (1080p) and refuses to play at all, throwing a mess of:
[h264 @ 0x5fdbac0]AVC: Consumed only 1 bytes instead of 521
Error while decoding frame!
The machine is fairly old (Athlon 64 X2 4200+), but I don't think it's a hardware performance issue. When it was running Windows XP it could handle any HD video I threw at it. Each one of these files plays perfectly on my Windows machine with Media Player Classic Home Cinema + ffmpeg...
Is there something wrong with ffmpeg or is support for h264 just not there yet?

I can run Minecraft if I log in to su but I have a user to whom I do not wish to give su permission. If I try to run Minecraft from the terminal without signing into su first, I get a lot of error messages that I do not understand. I think it might have something to do with having to give the user permission to run java but I am not sure.
Here is the output:

Kill me, but) I log into root on my machine, and I downloaded an flv file. I tried to play it with Totem, but it, for some odd reason, kept showing up with big black boxes in it. When I exited Totem, my volume went mute and I can not un-mute it. This only happens to the root account. What should I do?

On fc7-10 I was able to get them going after installing gstreamer packages with yum.
For fc11 I have followed half a dozen guides, installed numerous packages, but can't seem to figure out what is missing.
Anyone know what to install for mp3's on fc11 ?

I tried to use Totem and Rhythmbox to play an mp3 file but it fails because of a missing decoder. I have found a solution that solve the problem through a repository. Unfortunately, the PC I'm using doesn't have internet connection so I'm looking for another approach. I couldn't find any rpm that would work for CentOS I could copy the my Linux system?

I used to be able to use the NFL game center on nfl.com to watch the play-by-play when I was using Fedora 10.Now that I am on Fedora 12 it no longer works. I am able to click into a game and see all the info but the play-by-play drive chart no longer displays anything. Does anyone out there know how to get this working?

I attempted to install the new kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11 (x86-64) A depsolv message appears:

I upgraded from fc10; there was a residue of four fc10 2.27 kernels in /lib/modules from my fc10->fc11 upgrade; I moved them to a new subdirectory /usr/oldmodules, but the yum update command still produces the same failure message.

I was on version 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64 and it asked me to update so I did. When I restarted I chose this version to install and after a brief loading screen it goes to a black screen with a cursor prompt and pretty much stays there. So I go back to 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64 which boots up just fine. But after a while I get some updates that won't install because it says that Packages are not compatible:Install - Linux Kernal 2.6.30.5-43.fc11(x86_64)

I am trying to compile ffmpeg (and libraries) but im stuck. I am running x86_64 FC11 and want to compile 32 bit binaries so i can post them online for people to download, and mine is different then the ones hosted by the yum repo's.

it's possible to use preupgrade to go directly from FC8 to FC11.
Also, I'm wondering if this will allow me to avoid formatting my hard drive or not. I'll have backups ready just in case, but was hoping maybe I could get away with not having to do the old two-step shuffle with all my data.

My F11 only works at the kernel 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586.
I have other two kernel installed, 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586 andn 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586.
But my fc11 cannot work with them.
So every time I start the system, I need to press tab key and choose the lower version kernel.
