Bug 97751 – Visualisation plugins don't work in Amarok 1.3_beta2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Schlesinger 2005-07-02 11:33:59 UTC]

When selecting "Extras/Visualisation plugins" in the menu of Amarok, I get the 
message, that no visualisation-plugin could be found. In the shell I can see 
the message "sh: amarok_libvisual: command not found". 
 
This libvisual-ebuilds are installed on my machine: media-libs/libvisual, 
media-plugins/bmp-libvisual, media-plugins/gst-plugins-libvisual, 
media-plugins/libvisual-plugins. 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start amarok  
2. Select "Extras/Visualisation plugins" 
 
Actual Results:  
I get the message, that no visualisation-plugin could be found. In the shell I 
can see the message "sh: amarok_libvisual: command not found".  

Expected Results:  
Visualisation plugins should be available

I've tried it out on a second machine with the same result. 

[Comment 2 Ian Monroe 2005-08-04 13:21:57 UTC]

Did you re-emerge amaroK after installing libvisual?

[Comment 3 Thomas Schlesinger 2005-08-05 09:12:10 UTC]

Yes, meanwhile I've emerged amarok-1.3_beta3, but the problem is existing  
there, too. 
 
BTW: this are my installed livbisual-packages: 
media-libs/libvisual 0.2.0 
media-plugins/bmp-libvisual 0.2.0 
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libvisual 0.8.10 
media-plugins/libvisual-plugins 0.2.0

Can you provide the output of 'emerge -pv amarok' ? 
 

[Comment 5 Thomas Schlesinger 2005-08-15 08:10:34 UTC]

Here it is: 
 
SchlesisNB amarok # emerge -pv amarok-1.3_beta3.ebuild 
emerging by path implies --oneshot... adding --oneshot to options. 
 
*** emerging by path is broken and may not always work!!! 
 
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: 
 
Calculating dependencies 
*** You are emerging a masked package. It is MUCH better to use 
*** /etc/portage/package.* to accomplish this. See portage(5) man 
*** page for details.

You have -visualization, so you don't have visualization plugins support, 
simple. 
 
Rebuild with +visualization and that should work.

Thanks, that solved the problem. I wasn't aware of this USE flag.
