Subject: gnome-media: running gst-register to fix broken volume control Package: gnome-media Version: 2.8.0-0.2 Severity: important
There are numerous bugs on gnome-media reporting problems with the volume and mixer controls, especially after updating. I recently had the identical problem as reported in bugs #303568 and #276681, and finally resolved it by removing my ~/.gstreamer-0.? directories and rebuilding them by running gst-register-0.6 and gst-register-0.8 (which are in the libgstreamer0.? packages). After this, the volume and mixer controls worked correctly. Interestingly, only users who already had accounts had this problem. When new users are added, their gstreamer registries are generated correctly, so the problem is with old gstreamer registries not getting updated, and of course, there's nothing that notifies you that you need to do this. -j -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gnome-media depends on: ii gstreamer0.8-alsa [g 0.8.8-2 ALSA plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.8-artsd [ 0.8.8-2 aRtsd plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.8-esd [gs 0.8.8-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon plugin fo ii gstreamer0.8-jack [g 0.8.8-2 JACK plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.8-misc 0.8.8-2 Collection of various GStreamer pl ii gstreamer0.8-oss [gs 0.8.8-2 OSS plugin for GStreamer ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-5 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libbonobo2-0 2.8.1-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.8.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libesd0 0.2.35-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libgail-common 1.8.2-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgail17 1.8.2-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgconf2-4 2.8.1-5 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.0-11 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 1:2.4.2-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.8.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.8.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.8.1-3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.8.4-2 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.0-1 library for common error values an ii libgstreamer-gconf0. 0.8.8-2 GConf support for GStreamer ii libgstreamer-plugins 0.8.8-2 Various GStreamer libraries and li ii libgstreamer0.8-0 0.8.9-2 Core GStreamer libraries, plugins, ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liborbit2 1:2.12.1-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System Session Management ii libtasn1-2 0.2.10-3 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System protocol client li ii libxml2 2.6.16-4 GNOME XML library ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
