Public bug reported:
Using lollypop 1.1.4.16-4 on Ubuntu 19.10.
When I try to open a .flac file for example, the application immediately
crashes and shows the crash dialog. Running lollypop from the terminal
shows this trace:
mowalle@trenzalore ~/M/BABYMETAL-METAL_GALAXY> lollypop 13.Shine.flac
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/lollypop", line 45, in <module>
from lollypop.application import Application
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lollypop/application.py", line 15, in
<module>
gi.require_version("GstAudio", "1.0")
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 129, in
require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace GstAudio not available
I figured that to start lollypop, I need to install the gir1.2-gst-
plugins-base-1.0 package. Indeed, by installing the package lollypop
starts correctly and plays the file without a problem.
I should note that I previously removed Rhythmbox via apt remove --auto-
remove, which removed the gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 automatically.
Since gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 is not a dependency of lollypop, it
was not automatically installed with it.
I checked other distros (Arch and Fedora for example) where this package
is a dependency of lollypop. So maybe this can be fixed by setting
gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 as a dependency of lollypop in Ubuntu as
well.
