Arch Linux

And it still runs?

no, it quits.

echo $?
2

Why does it quit? Don't give us half-errors.

Because of missing dependencies I guess... I don't give you half errors. It just lists in the terminal these two dependencies. The program doesn't start. At least, the dependencies must be fixed at first.

Best.

The terminal gives you a whole lot more output than that.

No, I only cleaned up the parts in foreign language and that's not useful. But as you can reproduce, feel free to post it.

On my side.

ERREUR - Les dépendances requises suivantes sont manquantes :
=============================================================
- gstgtk not found on the system
Dépendances suggérées manquantes
- pycanberra not found on the system
-> active les notifications sonores lorsque le rendu est terminé

And the translation:

ERROR - The following hard dependencies are unmet:
==================================================
- gstgtk not found on the system
Missing soft dependency:
- pycanberra not found on the system
-> enables sound notifications when rendering is complete

So as it says, pycamberra doesn't matter, the only issue is gstgtk. A quick google search says it may be related to gst-bad-plugins, what gst* packages do you have installed?

extra/gst-libav 1.8.2-2 [installed]
extra/gst-plugins-bad 1.8.2-3 [installed]
extra/gst-plugins-base 1.8.2-1 [installed]
extra/gst-plugins-base-libs 1.8.2-1 [installed]
extra/gst-plugins-good 1.8.2-1 [installed]
extra/gst-plugins-ugly 1.8.2-1 [installed]
extra/gst-python 1.8.2-1 [installed]
community/gst-editing-services 1.8.2-1 [installed]
community/gst-transcoder 1.8.1-1 [installed]

 FS#47845  confirms that it should be gst-plugins-bad. Maybe try reinstalling that?

I tried, no success. I also applied recent updates (nothing related to gst-plugins-bad but some stuffs like gst-plugins-good), still failing.

I just discovered that pitivi is written in python and I'm a python dev. I don't know these libraries but looking more closely at the code, I can reproduce the behavior in a python console. Basically, the code does something equivalent to this:

###########
from gi.repository import Gst
Gst.init(None)
registry = Gst.Registry.get()
plugin = registry.find_plugin('gstgtk')
# Here they check if the plugin is loaded
if not plugin:
print('broken...')
########
As I said, I'm not familiar at all with these libraries, no clue for now...


The issue might be upstream. Debian also has a ticket over here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825150;msg=12 pitivi 0.95 though...)

Fixed by the last release of gst-plugins-bad
