Rubyripper hangs at startup

mickscott · 2008-09-22 10:54:07

Installed rubyripper from pacman. When I try and run it in KDEmod, it tries to load but eventually just gives up... no error message nothing, it just disappears after a minute or so of watching the icon bouncing on the mouse cursor.

What would usually cause programs to behave in this manner?

I really want to FLAC my CDs using what's natively available (as opposed to Wine EAC), can anyone help? cheers.

It sounds like you're trying to run the CLI version instead of the GUI version. Try to open a terminal (or the run dialog) and run "rrip_gui" to get the graphic version. You could also try "rrip_cli" to use the commandline version.

By the way, I think that I like that package -- it differentiates between normal and various artist cds. That's pretty cool.

Thanks mrbug, seem to be getting somewhere now...

Well, "rrip_gui" won't launch and spit's out:

"ruby-gettext is not found. Translations are disabled!
The ruby-gtk2 library could not be found. Is it installed?"

Bit odd, as I thought that these would have been dependencies; perhaps they were optional as...

"rrip_cli" actually runs whilst informing me of the same error, but further states:

"warning: discid or cd-discid isn't found on your system! Using fallback..."

It seems like a simple case of missing packages, so I should be able to nut this one out. Thanks again.

I had the same problem with rubyripper-0.5.3-1.
Turning back and ignoring the written below upgrades solved the problem for me.

ruby-atk: ignoring package upgrade (0.16.0-1 => 0.17.0-1)
ruby-gdkpixbuf2: ignoring package upgrade (0.16.0-1 => 0.17.0-1)
ruby-glib2: ignoring package upgrade (0.16.0-1 => 0.17.0-2)
ruby-gtk2: ignoring package upgrade (0.16.0-1 => 0.17.0-1)
ruby-pango: ignoring package upgrade (0.16.0-1 => 0.17.0-1)
ruby-rcairo: ignoring package upgrade (1.6.1-1 => 1.7.0-1)

strange.. it works fine here..

The package ruby-gtk2 in community is bad. Simply rebuild it from ABS, and all should be fine.

Can anyone confirm that the ruby-gtk2 package in community is bad? If it is, someone should notify its maintainer.

helleborus · 2008-10-16 19:08:12

I can confirm the ruby-gtk2 in community is bad.

Rebuilding it from ABS solved the problem.

luciferin · 2008-10-16 19:42:14

It's working fine for me...

[chris@lucix86 ~]$ sudo pacman -Qss ruby-gtk2
local/ruby-gtk2 0.18.0-2
    Ruby language bindings for GTK2.

Maybe it's a specific configuration option in Rubyripper that conflicts? I know I would sometimes have problems that would be solved by removing the configuration files.

I don't think its to do with rubyripper, my laptop has no problems with rubyripper/ruby-gtk2 (arch32 on using [core] and [extra]) whereas on my desktop, if I use the version in [community], gives me:

[rich@karhide ~]$ rrip_gui 
ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/gtk2.so: undefined symbol: gtk_file_system_error_quark

if I re-build with ABS it fixes it.
My desktop runs arch64 [testing] so I suspect there is some hidden dependency of ruby-gtk2 that has a newer version in [testing], since [testing] has gnome 2.24.

Alternatively its a 64-bit only issue.

I've helped someone out before with an Arch x86_64 install with a bad ruby-gtk2 bindings package, but I assume this is i686?

Better check whether your mirror is at fault, the package itself is fine over here, which pretty much indicates the maintainer is not to blame .

Edit: Ghosthack: look in the non-i686 section...

@ TS: I hope you're running i686 and not x86_64, otherwise this thread is misplaced and confusing a lot of people.
