Hi

jjgomera@ordenata:~$ gmusicbrowser

I've tried to reinstall gmusicbrowser, perl, libnet-dbus-perl, restart dbus daemon, remove gmusicbrowser config file in home directory, but gmusicbrowser don't load.

I use debian 5 and the gmusicbroser it's install from your repos

Help, please

The DBus module is optional anyway, what prevents gmb from running is this error :

Code Select Expand

but I don't see how this could happen  ???
can you post the error message you get when you run v1.1.4 ?

These are strange error messages...
Did you upgrade anything recently ?
Did you try rebooting ? (memory corruption can cause very strange errors)

[jjgomera]

Hi, really i dont know what else doing to solve this problem.

I reinstall all dependences, i run fsck over all partition, and the error go on

Really I miss gmusicbrowser, with mpd i can manage my collection, but i can't edit tags so easy than with gmusicbrowser, i wait for the debian squeeze freeze to upgrade the whole system to solve the problem

[Quentin Sculo]

Some errors I can't explain, but some could be caused by a strange layout file. Have you tried without any layout file in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/ ?

[jjgomera]

i rename the ~/.config/gmusicbrowser directory, that was my first idea but didnt work

[Quentin Sculo]

I thought you did, but just wanted to be sure.
You can test it with the latest git (click on the latest snapshot on this page : http://gmusicbrowser.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser;a=summary), I added some sanity checks to make sure the layout errors you get can't happen, but I doubt it will fix your problem.

I've tested v1.0.2 with a debian 5 live cd under VirtualBox and it worked fine.

One last idea is changing the language to english, just in case.

One last idea is changing the language to english, just in case.

I tried that but no solutions.

Finally I update to debian testing and gmusicbrowser work again, maybe a library corrupt or something similar, never mind, gmusicbrowser is my music-all again

Thanks
