Quod Libet fails to start

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get Quod Libet working. It has worked on my system before, but it broke a few months ago. I get the following output:

$ env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all quodlibet --run

I searched the web, but I couldn't find anything related to the error. Can somebody help figure this out?

You have become partially upgraded somehow. Do you have a snapshot you can fall back on from before that happened?

Oh that happened because I canceled an application installation in pamac I think. No actual partial upgrading occured. Just updated and the issue still persists.

What was your method for installing this program?

Something I'd like to point out here, after being broken in a recent update...
Guayadeque is up and running again - and it's really an incredible player (though I do like quodlibet) so it's worth having that extra string to your bow :wink:

First off, always make sure you're fully updated with garuda-update. You do NOT ever want to be partially updated for many reasons.

When you see Failed to load shared library you can assume you're missing something. You can search for what provides it:

$ pacman -F libdee-1.0.so.4
chaotic-aur/dee 1.2.7-13
usr/lib/libdee-1.0.so.4

In this case you could get it with pacman -Syu chaotic-aur/dee
I'm not sure why it's not listed in depends here though... Arch Linux - quodlibet 4.5.0-1 (any)

Ah, good to know. Maybe I should ask the author for debugging ideas then.

I already have this installed (as dependency for libunity).

I just tried to install it, but I get an error:

Log 
==> Starting build()...
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:8 (cmake_policy):
  The OLD behavior for policy CMP0037 will be removed from a future version
  of CMake.

  The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
  policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
  specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
  behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

I got a notification that my system is partially upgraded again. It seems it does this after installing anything with Pamac (even if that installation fails apparently), while there are also updates available. That’s a different problem though.

Thank you all for your suggestions :slight_smile:

For some time now we have been sending octopi for searching and browsing. We advise against the use of pamac and octopi, except for searching.
The tool for installing should only be pacman. :slight_smile:

sorry - you need to do guayadeque-git because guayadeque got left behind with the recent wxwidget upgrade.

Since guayadeque-git seems to be actively used by a few people, I added it to Chaotic-AUR:

With the help of a quodlibet contributor I discovered that I was missing the right version of icu. Version 71 was installed on my system, but dee seems to require icu 70. I just installed icu70 from AUR and now I get a different error message:

ERROR:../pygobject/gi/gimodule.c:1831:_wrap_pyg_hook_up_vfunc_implementation: assertion failed: (G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED (implementor_gtype))
Bail out! ERROR:../pygobject/gi/gimodule.c:1831:_wrap_pyg_hook_up_vfunc_implementation: assertion failed: (G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED (implementor_gtype))

Maybe some packages need to be rebuilt like in this issue that declension from quodlibet mentioned?

quayadeque-git worked and it looks pretty nice! Might switch to it if issues with quodlibet persist.

Any help with the new error message or rebuilding packages like in the issue I linked?
