/usr/bin/gst-launch not available

[Tommi Asiala]

Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-tools

Since there is only /usr/bin/gst-launch-0.10 but no /usr/bin/gst-launch gnome-power-manager can't play sounds.

[gpm_sound_force] gpm-sound.c:86 (23:59:40): Couldn't execute command: gst-launch filesrc location=/usr/share/gnome-power-manager/gpm-critical-power.wav ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! gconfaudiosink

This has been discussed at gnome-power-manager's bugzilla
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365700#c11

gst-launch is in the unversioned gstreamer-tools package. g-p-m should depend/recommend it if it's needed or call gst-launch-0.10 directly.

[Simon Law (sfllaw)]

I agree that gnome-power-manager is not using gstreamer properly. At the very least, it should call gst-launch-0.10 directly.

[Richard Hughes (richard-hughes)]

Simon, could you comment on the upstream bug how g-p-m should do this? I don't want to link in gstreamer but could change to use gst-launch-0.10 if this is what we should do. Thanks.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Reassigning to GStreamer as there should always be a gst-launch as per the GNOME bug.

Thanks. Ted.

Perhaps the developers could take a look at how the "tclsh" command is handled between tcl8.4 and tcl8.5

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

tcl8.5:
set -e

if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/tclsh tclsh /usr/bin/tclsh8.5 840 \
   --slave /usr/share/man/man1/tclsh.1.gz tclsh.1 \
    /usr/share/man/man1/tclsh8.5.1.gz
fi

tcl8.4:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/tclsh tclsh /usr/bin/tclsh8.4 841 \
   --slave /usr/share/man/man1/tclsh.1.gz tclsh.1 \
   /usr/share/man/man1/tclsh8.4.1.gz
fi

(I mean the package developers, not upstream)

Thanks for the report Tommi Asiala , It has been a long time without any comment or a duplicate in this bug report and It is possible that the bug has been fixed. May you please try to reproduce it with the latest Stable Release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal and add the respective comments to the report? You can learn how to get that release at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

[Tommi Asiala (tommi-asiala)]

Sorry, I'm no longer a user of Ubuntu and therefore I can not reproduce it.
