Songbird F12

[richardlivermob]

Trying to install Songbird on F12.

Followed typical instructions. When executing ./songbird SELinux denials appear.

Denial is based on stacked memory. Changed global settings to allow unconfined executable stacked memory.

Now nothing happens at all. No AVC denial, nothing.


I haven't tried Songbird on F8, 9, 10, or 11 (previously known builds) maybe this is a problem with F12?

Anyone else have any luck installing Songbird?

I just installed it on my Fedora 12 laptop. All I did was download the .tar.gz file and extract it. A couple more steps and it was up and running.

sudo tar xvfz Downloads/Songbird_1.2.0-1146_linux-i686.tar.gz
sudo chown -R glenn:glenn Songbird
cd Songbird/
./songbird

There were a ton of errors shown in the terminal. This one was repeated several times.

(songbird-bin:23883): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmpegdemux.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmpegdemux.so: undefined symbol: gst_structure_id_get

Note that I'm one of those users that turns SELinux off. Therefore, I get no warnings of any sort with SongBird.

After trying that I get these messages (the first repeated) and still no product.

I will be messing around with it more this weekend.

Per chance are you using F12 64Bit? I'm using the 32Bit version.

[richardlivermob]

Oh no it's 32 bit =P. Running it on a P4 2.8GHz from back when I was in high school... 2004/2005 ish.

The main reason I wan to get Songbird on here is because of all the DRM music I had from Zune player. Someone mentioned that Songbird would play those files. I don't know, if you tell me right now that it doesn't I won't even bother with it anymore =P

[glennzo]

No idea what it will or won't play. The SongBird web site will probably elaborate on that. Do you have other music players working? Are all the media plugins installed?

[richardlivermob]

Rhythmbox works but not WMA or other DRM'd files (which is really a pain in the arse!)

I think I have the necessary plugins installed... I guess I'm not used to *having* to use Linux for my day to day audio needs so kind of new to the spectrum.

Is there a convenient list that you know of?

I know I just installed Gstreamer prior to trying with Songbird.

There's some good multimedia help here, http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f12.html. Look at Install MP3 Players and Install Media Players.
