[SOLVED] Pitivi will not open

[steveh-swpdx]

Hi all.

I have a tower PC I use for video editing and a laptop that is not up to video editing.
Today the tower cannot open pitivi but the laptop can.  They are both fully updated.

When I try to open pitivi in a terminal on the tower the following appears:

[steve@localhost ~]$ pitivi
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pitivi", line 118, in <module>
    _run_pitivi()
  File "/usr/bin/pitivi", line 113, in _run_pitivi
    sys.exit(ptv.main(sys.argv))
  File "/usr/lib/pitivi/python/pitivi/application.py", line 358, in main
    ptv.run(sys.argv[1:])

  File "/usr/lib/pitivi/python/pitivi/ui/mainwindow.py", line 147, in create_stock_icons
    pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(os.path.join(pmdir, path))
glib.GError: Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The message at the beginning has nothing to do with the problem as I get the same message on the laptop and pitivi opens fine there.
Both PCs are running PCLinuxOS 2010 KDE.

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I would have thought you should check again for updates .....

I have just installed it here and get no message at all when it launches ....  which it does ....

Code: [Select]

$ pitivi

Thanks JohnBoy.

I updated this morning.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled pitivi from the repository.
Then for good measure I reinstalled gtk-2 from the repository.
I even restarted the PC.

None of that had any effect.

There has been an update since this morning to the librsvg packages

librsvg-2.32.0-2pclos2010.i586.rpm
librsvg2_2-2.32.0-2pclos2010.i586.rpm

Do you have these installed?

[Neal ManBear]

Do you have python-gobject installed? Maybe a reinstall would help.

[steveh-swpdx]

librsvg2_2 2.32.0-2pclos2010 is installed.  I do not see the other listed in Synaptic - I am using the pclosusers.com repository.

And yes, python-gobject is installed.  I forgot that it was another file I reinstalled today in an attempt to fix the problem.

Thanks for the quick responses.

try running these two commands in a su root terminal

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >  /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.lib

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >  /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

Thanks Texstar.  That fixed it.  I have no idea what it did but it worked.

I downloaded "The Linux Command Line" by William E. Shotts, Jr a few days ago.  Its a 522 page pdf available at linuxcommand.org. I'm going to start reading it today.

Thanks again
