[@]$beep-media-player

(beep-media-player:26950): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

what should I do ?

Notify the program authors (they have a sourceforge page) that you found a bug in their code. This is a failed assertion, which is a debug statement left in the code to detect problems. It sounds like they are passing a bad pointer to one of the GLib routines. They will want to know how to reproduce the problem.

I seems too hard for me as a newbie.

Thanks anyway.

What Linux distribution are you using?

jackandking · 12-17-2004, 06:23 AM

redhat 9.0
kernal 2.4.20-8

I had made an rpm but unfortunately, it won't work on Redhat 9, it's for Fedora Core 3. You may have to use XMMS.

at one point in time i was able to find an rpm for mplayer and get it running (RH9), but since i have moved to KDE and onto debian i use kaffeine now.

you might also want to try and hit the yum repositories and see if there is not one that has mplayer that you can just yum install mplayer-386 or what ever and be done with it.

I have installed mplayer and xmms ,and they work well.
just try to use bmp,
maybe bmp-0.9.7 is not suitable to rh90 with kernal 2.4.20-8

Ok, that "gobject" error means there is aproblem with the way bmp is interacting with "glib". Try to upgrade to the latest versions of GLIB, GTK and PANGO, maybe this may rectify your problem if it isn't a problem with bmp itself.

Actually, it's the problem occured after i upgraded glib,gtk,pango.

The latest version of gtk is 2.6, is that what you upgraded to?
