Void Linux GLib-GIO-ERROR / python errors about easyeffects

[wwmm]

Hi

After copying the files and folders in pulseeffects share folder to /usr/share you have to run glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/. The setup.py script does not does that as python setuptools documentation does not recommends this to be done there

OK, I added that, but now I get this error:

PulseEffects - CRITICAL - failed to start pulseaudio context

It sounds like a problem with pulseaudio? I don't know much about it...

[wwmm]

hummm... Which version of pulseaudio are you using? Is there anything else in the system's log when this happen?

In Void linux we have pulseaudio 10.0

$ pulseeffects
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
22:01:11.429 - PulseEffects - CRITICAL - failed to start pulseaudio context

self.pm = PulseManager()
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/PulseEffects/pulse_manager.py", line 65, in __init__
while self.context_ok is False:
KeyboardInterrupt

😫 Well, there is an obvious problem with pulseaudio on my system:

$ start-pulseaudio-x11
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

The problem with pulseaudio is solved !
My system is now correctly configured...
...but it looks like errors with Python:

It seems there is a problem with gst-python. Which version do you have?

gst1-python3 version 1.12.0

Today I compiled your new release 1.5.4 , but I get the same errors as above, when I run pulseeffects.

[wwmm]

This is very strange. I have gst-python 1.12 in Arch Linux too and I do not have the error Py_InitModule4_64: symbol not found. Maybe the problem is with the python version. Here in Arch I have python 3.6.1. Based on your error logs you are probably with python 3.5. I think this version should be ok but I do not remember If I had the chance to test PulseEffects with python 3.5

I had something similiar, deleted the scheme xml file, then run compile-schemas and after that copied the files again into /usr/share and did run the compile-schemas again, it resolved wrong schemes being compiled from the previous version.

[wwmm]

As this problem is specific to void linux packages and there is nothing I can do about it I will close this issue.

@wwmm Today, tried to create a package for the latest release pulseeffects-3.0.9 but I got this error:

$ /usr/bin/pulseeffects
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pulseeffects", line 6, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 130, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace GstInsertBin not available

gstreamer is installed:

$ xbps-query -s gst
[*] gst-plugins-bad1-1.12.3_2  GStreamer plugins from the bad set (v1.x)
[*] gst-plugins-base1-1.12.3_1 GStreamer Base Plug-ins (v1.x)
[*] gst-plugins-good1-1.12.3_1 GStreamer set of well-maintained good plug-ins (1.x)
[*] gst1-python3-1.12.3_1      Python3 bindings for GStreamer 1.x
[*] gstreamer1-1.12.3_1        Core GStreamer libraries and elements (1.x)

Which package is missing ?? Thanks.

[wwmm]

GstInsertBin is from gst-plugins-bad. Try to see if there is more gst-plugins-bad packages in void repositories

We have only these packages:

[-] gst-plugins-bad-0.10.23_23       GStreamer plugins from the bad set
[-] gst-plugins-bad-devel-0.10.23_23 GStreamer plugins from the bad set - development files
[*] gst-plugins-bad1-1.12.3_2        GStreamer plugins from the bad set (v1.x)
[-] gst-plugins-bad1-devel-1.12.3_2  GStreamer plugins from the bad set (v1.x) - development files

In package gst-plugins-bad1 we have:

/usr/lib/libgstinsertbin-1.0.so.0.1203.0
/usr/lib/libgstinsertbin-1.0.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libgstinsertbin-1.0.so.0.1203.0

I can't find GstInsertBin.
Well, I will ask the question on our forum! 😉

[wwmm]

Maybe the problems are in the python bindings. Dou you have the file /usr/share/gir-1.0/GstInsertBin-1.0.gir in your system? I think the namespace GstInsertBin is defined in it.

I'm almost done, but it seems like something is still missing...
When I run the program:

$ pulseeffects
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
10:40:33.19 - PulseEffects - CRITICAL - failed to start pulseaudio context
10:40:33.20 - PulseEffects - INFO - unferencing pulseaudio context object
^CKilled

nothing appears... and I have to kill python3 to stop the process.

[wwmm]

Nothing will work after a failure to start pulseaudio context. Something is not right in your pulseaudio installation. Is it running? Do you have libpulse installed?

You're right @wwmm ! pulseaudio was not correctly configured...

According to our wiki: PulseAudio#Recommended_setup: I had to install & enable dbus, consolekit and cgmanager services to be able to run pulseeffects.

THANK YOU.
