Rhythmbox Help

Hello all,

I've just installed Rhythmbox via add/remove software and all appeared ok.
However, when I select Rhythmbox in the Multimedia menu - it doesn't start up.
I tried to start if from terminal (just typed Rhythmbox) but just received the following error.

[user@localhost ~]$ rhythmbox
rhythmbox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/_gst.so: undefined symbol: gst_lfo_control_source_get_type

I've checked through the forum and found the following possible solution by entering this code

rpm -U --force gstreamer-python-0.10.8-2.fc8.i386.rpm

However, when I do it I get the following error..

error: open of gstreamer-python-0.10.8-2.fc8.i386.rpm failed: No such file or directory

I suspect it may be the way I'm entering the code and I'm missing a vital step.

Grateful for any advice or help to resolve this problem.

Many thanks

 

You'll need to actually download the rpm that the command refers to. You should be able to scare it up on rpmfind.net

If you have downloaded it, it's not in your current directory. Try

Code:

cd ~/Downloads

and run the command you listed again.

 

Many thanks for this - I've checked on rpmfind.net and what I need is there. I'll download it later today when I'm back from work and see if that sorts it.

Cheers

Nick
