How To Get Exaile Working

[daffy]

Exaile doesn't work for me. Nothing happens when I try to launch it (it's in SD1's pandora/menu directory).

There is another thread, but the singal:noise is low, and it's aging. So I'm starting a new one.

As the other thread suggests, I have Hotfix 2 and the codec pack installed, and I deleted exaile's appdata directory. Makes no difference.

If I try to launch exaile then do dmesg, the only thing that seems relevant is:

aufs test_add:243:mount[2415]: uid/gid/perm /mnt/pnd/exaile.pickle 1000/1000/0755, 1000/0/0755.

EvilDragon asked: "Can anyone post the output of the /tmp_/pndrunexaile.pickle.out ?", but I have no /tmp_ directory, and creating one did not help. I do have a /tmp/exaile.pickle.png, but that appears to be a simple icon.

Possibly related is that all my apps except Thunar are unable to access my one SD card after I remove and replace it. Also possibly related is that I am unable to select files on the SD card in Thunar at random. I can see things but it doesn't respond to taps. Restarting Thunar fixes this, though.

mplayer sucks; please help!

I put a link to the old thread here for reference:

Regarding Thunar: It's known to be buggy.

A general advice: Format SD Cards with the tool from the Tweaks Thread.

A general advice: Format SD Cards with the tool from the Tweaks Thread.

Really? The thread that introduced that tool made it sound like the issue is that Windows doesn't format an SD card correctly.

I don't have a windows box with an SD card drive, and I don't usually use Windows for much of anything except playing games. Will I have issues if I format the card in my Mac?

 

[mali]

^ I have no Mac, so I can't help. The only fact I know is that the tool solved some problems with corrupted SD cards in the past.

Bump. Still nothing on why Exaile isn't working.

 

[tsh]

/tmp/pndrunexaile.pickle.out is the log file which is needed.
Every pnd should generate a file with this pndrun... name when it starts.
Try re-booting with the sd cards inserted, and don't remove them till you've tried it.

Bump. Debug log is there now. I can't be the only one with this issue.

These are harmless, just bugs in the pnd_run.sh script.

The problem seems to be with one of the python library modules. do you have /usr/lib/python2.6/glob.py

more than that, I can't help with...

Try hotfix3beta: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/54852-pandora-hotfix-3-beta-2/page__view__findpost__p__883960

That did it. Thanks.

Well,
Tried Exaile, and it doesn't start.
I get the green logo, and a brief welcome of some sort, and then it bombs.
I looked for the python library file mentioned above in the lib directory, and it isn't there.
Hotfix 2, then Hotfix 3 beta, then Hotfix 3 were all loaded.

WTF?
