Clementine don't start "Unable to update music library database"

aliasbody · 2011-12-24 05:35:23

Hello Everyone,
I've been trying some Music Player on my Openbox + Tint2 Arch, and noticed that Banshee as a bug with the notification icon (don't show the notification icon at all unless we disable it and enable it again in the option, and that each time I run banshee), Rhythmbox doesn't have any notification icon at all, and then I tried clementine, the problem is that Clementine won't start...

Here is the error I got :
"Unable to update music library database"

I have made some search on the web and those are the steps I've made so far :
1 - Removed the .config/Clementine folder
2 - Verifiy/Reinstall sqlite3

But nothing to do it still won't start :S...

Any ideas ?

Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa

I've run into the same problem with clementine 0.7.1 from the repository.

do me a favor and check these 2 things for me:
1. do you have ~/.config/Clementine/Clementine.conf (for me, this does not exist)
2. what is the filesize of ~/.config/Clementine/clementine.db (for me, this is 0)

I've opened a bug report on clementine's tracker:

I've build clementine from clementine's git repo, the problem appears to go away and clementine starts.

It's also available in the AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50840

Yes I have exactly the same problem :S... I don't have any Clementine.conf file and my clementine.db file is 0bytes :S...

I suggest you install clementine from the AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50840

If you need to know how to use the AUR, please read this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AU … g_packages

That will install the latest development version of clementine, this currently does not have the problem we have with the latest stable version.

I will try this then ^^ (Even if I prefer avoid aur the most of the time :S...)

After installing the AUR version and running it once, you can remove this version installed from AUR while keeping the ~/.config/Clementine/ folder

You can then install clementine stable form the repository, it will work with the database generated by the AUR version and be capable of updating it.

i just did this, currently running clementine 0.7.1.

Right, I have done some proper digging around and I think I've found the cause.

clementine 0.7.1 in arch's repositories was built with this flag:

-DSTATIC_SQLITE=0

removing that flag seems to solve the problem, I've opened a bug report for arch:
