Mythtv music and image gallery unresponsive

I'm running the Mythtv packages from testing, and find that I cannot play music or view images on the system.

At some point in the past, these functions have worked.  I don't check them every time I upgrade, but went to use them the other day.  On the mythtv menu, if I click on "Listen to Music" or on "Image Gallery", I get no response at all.  Since it acts like it isn't getting the key press from the remote, I tried with the keyboard; same result.

This is the first time I've had a problem using testing packages and am not sure where to report problems, so I'm starting here.

Running mythtv from a terminal may give you a clue as to what the problem is. You may also want to run mythbackend from a terminal too.

Ok, never thought of that.

I'm getting an error:

2008-01-26 17:14:16.810 Unable to run plugin 'mythgallery': not initialized
2008-01-26 17:14:17.690 MythPlugin::Init() dlerror: libGL.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
2008-01-26 17:14:17.690 Unable to initialize plugin 'mythgallery'.

Will check to see what isn't updated, etc.

[bump]

found an error about nvidia-utils, which I upgraded to the testing version; it wanted nvidia and the testing kernel, updated those as well.  All this did was screw up everything; sound system stopped working, still no access to gallery or music.....:mad:

I downgraded everything, now my capture cards don't work, I'll get it all back up before trying to figure this out again..

Re: Mythtv music and image gallery unresponsive

I just had the same issue pop up. I know this is an old post. Anyway....

#ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

Then made it executable.

I haven't had time to play with it since I got downgraded again; saw that Cerebral had posted similar in another thread.  I'll try to get it taken care of this week and see if that resolves my issue.  (It's an old thread, but it's still relevant...:)  )

Aw crap, I had forgotten about that, since I forgot to subscribe to the other thread.    It's back on my list of things to do.
