Hi, Installed gnome-2.6 on a clean system removing bits from packages.mask So far noticed that rhythmbox and totem don't work giving the same error - it brings a dialog box with message: Totem could not startup. The gnomevfssrc plug-in could not be found. This plug-in is essential for libgstplay. Please install it and verify that it works by running 'gst-inspect gnomevfssrc'. And error from rhythmbox is: Failed to create gnomevfssrc input element; check your installation During installation I have noticed that it was "mixing" gst 0.6 and 0.8 plugins. I will give any further info on this. USE flags are: +gstreamer +gnome CFLAGS are -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium4 PS. Seems that this is somehow related to #22794 : /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6/libgstgnomevfssrc doesn't exist on my system and 0.8 also. Ssl
rhythmbox & totem both depend correctly on this plugin, so i dunno what you messed up really. If you removed bits from p.mask as you see, the deps were probably not correct at the time (yeah, it's p.mask -> broken). Remerge the packages and you should be fine.
