Gnome Music not starting up

Doing gnome-music from console just tells me Segmentation fault (core dumped), nothing else.

I tried doing a minimal installation so pretty much all of its optional dependencies are not there and not all the gnome stuff from gnome or gnome-extra are there either. Could anyone help?

Excuse the noobiness

Re: Gnome Music not starting up

I just installed it here (along with several hundred MB of dependencies) and I can replicate the immediate segfault on startup.

You could open a bug report on their bug tracker and include the output of `strace gnome-music'

Trilby, if you don't put those flash cells to good use, then they are going to go bad. Don't you know that?

Tried those and some more, none worked. Also this guy gets more feedback that I could wish for. Mine just says segmentation fault, no details.

You need to downgrade your python to version 3.4.2-1 Since the package isn't in the repo anymore you'll have to use the Arch Rollback Machine to get it.

Same problem and same solution: it seems that gnome-music need totem to have been launched at least once.

If you're using the nvidia proprietary drivers, it's because of:

Thanks Paul, that looks like my issue. Guess I wait on a patch. Much appreciated.
