Hello:
After finally figuring out the correct Xorg modelines that work with my HDTV, i decided to install Elisa Media Center on Ubuntu 7.10
Code:
http://elisa.fluendo.com/
The software which is written in Python, looks really good and it should do what i need. I downloaded the source and i read through the requirements and installed each of the following packages:
[CODE][CODE]
Dependencies
============
- Python >= 2.4
- python2.4-dev
- python-setuptools
- python-imaging
- python-twisted >= 2.2
- python-twisted-web
- python-gnome2-extras
- python-pysqlite2
- python-gtk2
- GStreamer 0.10 + Python Bindings : http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
- Pigment 0.3.3 + Python Bindings
installed elisa from source
Code:
python setup.by build
when i run elisa it comes back with the following message:
Code:
WARN MainThread media_manager Feb 22 23:55:18 Un-met dependency for youtube: gdata (elisa/core/manager.py:95)
WARN MainThread media_manager Feb 22 23:55:18 Component fspot_media failed to initialize: FSpot DB not found at '/home/waelaltaqi/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db' (elisa/core/manager.py:95)

The program 'elisa' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 28 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 5)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
here elisa.conf which is stored under ~/.elisa/elisa.conf (There are many lines for unmet dependencies but those are not required to run. i can't see anything relevant there either):

i'm working under 1024*768 resolution and it's working perfect. I looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and there is nothing relevant. I even deleted the content of Xorg.0.log and there is nothing being written when i run the elisa. Unfortunately, elisa doesn't come with a debug switch and I'm not quit sure if it has it's own log file (went through /var/log and there is nothing there).
Does anyone know were should i start looking to troubleshoot this problem? Thanks in advance.
