problems with opening programms and jpegs

Hi,

I have some problems since my last start of archlinux...

Last time i installed and uninstalled some image-related software.

Now my CCSM looks like this:

And i cannot open any .jpg or .jpeg-files

Besides some programms do not start.
When i start them in Terminal it seems that its unable to find images or something like that.

libjpeg is installed!

Can anybody help me?

Re: problems with opening programms and jpegs

Could you describe the part about programs not starting in more detail: which programs don't start, how do you try to start them and what is the exact error message you get?

Re: problems with opening programms and jpegs

Ok when i start mirage it says

[philipp@winchester ~]$ mirage
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mirage.py:32: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import tempfile, socket, md5, threading

The programm starts, but loading a jpeg in mirage is not possible.

If i want to run exaile the Termeinal says:

[philipp@winchester ~]$ exaile
INFO    : Loading Exaile 0.3.0.2...

    pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(filename)
glib.GError: Das Format der Bilddatei »/usr/share/exaile/data/images/svg/exaile.svg« konnte nicht erkannt werden

Sorry its in german... it says

the image-format could not be recognized

shutter: same thing:

[philipp@winchester ~]$ shutter

INFO: checking installed components...

WARNING: gnome-web-photo is missing --> screenshots of websites will be disabled!

INFO: no command line parameters set...

Format der Bilddatei unbekannt at /usr/bin/shutter line 6768.

The strange thing is, that i can open images with Gwenview, but not with eog or mirage!

Some other programms also do not startup :-(

Re: problems with opening programms and jpegs

The warning message you get for mirage is not the problem: I get it as well, and I can open image files.

It could be that something related to gtk2 got corrupted. That would explain why gwenview works and mirage doesn't. Could you try gpicview? It depends only on gtk2, so it would exclude a lot of other possible sources of the error. Then try and reinstall gtk2.

BTW I can read German.

I solved reinstalling gtk2.
