[SOLVED] Can't get Vagalume to work

Hi, I've been trying to install Vagalume (a client for last.fm) which I used to run with no problems on Arch. Since it's not in Chakra's repos I used aur2ccr -i vagalume to install it. Although I succeed there's no way I can get it to work. If I run it from a terminal it just exits with "error reading the server list file".

uname -a && aplay -l

http://paste.chakra-project.org/1357/

I have pulseaudio up and running with no audio issues at all. Tried gstreamer, vlc and mplayer backends with same result.

I know I could use lastfm-client instead but that one is limited to a certain number of songs you can stream from without subscribing. It's not a big deal since I can use Spotify under wine to listen to favorite's radio and all that stuff but I'm just curious about what's going on. Maybe something related to its heavy gtk dependency, I don't know. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance and congratulations for such a great distro and community!

Can you pastebin ~/.vagalume/servers.xml?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't get Vagalume to work

Sorry, my fault. I just realized I accidentally deleted "servers.xml" while trying to restore my settings from my Arch Linux partition. Anyway, I started from scratch, deleted the whole .vagalume directory and reinstalled from aur, using aur2ccr. This time I got a totally different error:

That one is showed in Yakuake. Running from the menu I only get a 'Error initializing audio system' window. If I run 'pacman -Qs gstreamer*' this is what I get:

Do you see any gstreamer-related package missing?

I honestly don't know. But you could try installing gstreamer plugins which are not installed yet.

Thanks. I found a solution while searching info about gstreamer plugins to install as you suggested.

As it looks it's related to audiosink and pulseaudio. Just need to add:

export VAGALUME_GST_SINK=alsasink

to my .bashrc and that did the trick. Problem solved! I'll try to upload vagalume to CCR when I have the time. Thank you.

Great that this works. If you upload it to ccr, please consider adding an install file which tells the user about the export. Ask if you run in any problems.
