packagekit broke rhythmbox

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Using f10 here.

Once again packagekit broke my system.

I started an update yesterday afternoon and it seems it decided to
connect to some repo in outer Slobovia with a 300 baud link, so I closed
all my other applications and left it to do its thing.

When I got to my desk this morning the system was still "cleaning up".
There was a popup on my desktop that showed a blue progress bar beneath
which was "sos".  Gee that's useful.  Had to manually kill the updater.
(should be called degrader ;)

When I went to use Rhythmbox to listen to CBC I no longer could.
Apparently some decoder went missing during the update.  Yum update
gstreamer and rhythmbox had no effect - "nothing to update" although it
did advise me that it was freeing eighteen locks!

Here is what "ps" has to say:

rhythmbox
 \_ /usr/libexec/gst-install-plugins-helper --transient-for=58720289
gstreamer|0.10|rhythmbox|text/html decoder|decoder-text/html

How/where do I get and install this?  Why did it disappear (or was this
dependency added)?

Why does packagekit hang?

This is extremely frustrating.  Between vim hanging and leaving zombies
all over the place and now a system gone mute I have to say my
experience with f10 has been the worst of the lot.  (Not a rant; just
the facts, ma'am.)

If somebody can give me some help on this I'd be most appreciative.


Thanks,
Mike Wright
