When i install banshee, it installs media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs as a dependency. This causes all programs to fail opening any kind of file (openinng videos with totem e.g.) on password secured Samba shares. It then tells me i dont have the permissions to view the file. I can only view videos and stuff if i copy them from the server to my machine and watcht them locally. When i uninstall media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs, i can view videos directly by opening them with totem on the smb share. If the share is not password secured it works perfectly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs 2. Enter a password secured samba share 3. Open a video with totem Actual Results: Dialogue which explained that i dont have the permissions to wathc the video Expected Results: Video should be played in totem Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i7_CPU_860_@_2.80GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.11.1 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -msse4 -mcx16 -msahf -O2 -pipe -msse4.1 -msse4.2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -msse4 -mcx16 -msahf -O2 -pipe -msse4.1 -msse4.2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages paralell-fetch parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://192.168.0.40/ http://gentoo.inode.at/" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j9" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 autoipd avahi bash-completion berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups daap dbus dri dts dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd evo faac faad fam fat firefox flac fortran fuse gdbm gif gnome gnome-keyring gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv id3tag ipv6 isdnlog jabber java jpeg ldap libnotify mad mdnsresponder-compat mikmod mmx modules mono mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib nautilus ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subversion svg sysfs tcpd theora threads thunar tiff totem truetype unicode usb vorbis x264 xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Ah yes, im using version 0.10.23 of media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs
Which version of totem are you using? If 2.24*, please try 2.26 (latest stable on amd64). I'm surprised banshee _still_ uses gnome-vfs. The dep may be inaccurate. In any case, this is probably a bug with gnome-vfs + auth smb shares. If that's the case, it's unlikely to be fixed.
Im using the 2.26.2 version of totem. After asking in irc.gnome.org, i heard that banshee loses that dep in 1.4.3-r4 whereas in portage 1.4.3-r2 is the latest stable. Would be great if someone pushes the ebuild for that.
Are you still suffering this with media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs-0.10.29 ?
yes
Don't use gst-plugins-gnomevfs, get gst-plugins-gio instead
I know, but gnome-vfs is iirc still a banshee dep. And if its installed its chosen over every other plugin. Everytime i try to watch a vid from a smb share i have to unmerge gst-plugins-gnomevfs just to get it back afert doing emerge -avNDu world. Thats the real problem
The ranking was swapped in the gst-plugins-base-0.10.29 release (which are stable on x86/amd64), so if you have both gst-plugins-gio-0.10.29 and gst-plugins-gnomevfs-0.10.29 installed - gio will be used by autopluggers or for satisfying protocols supported by both. I realize this wasn't the case back when this bug was reported.
Ah good, i cant try it atm but i guess this bug is fixed then :)
