Public bug reported: Whenever I try to start an application depending on gstreamer, I get the following error: Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
This means that for example gnome-sound-properties, gnome-settings- daemon don't work. I'm running feisty on a G3 ibook. Running strace gnome-sound-properties I get: (gnome-sound-properties:15408): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module `/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmapping.so' (/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmapping.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x3003cc68) = 15408 close(4) = 0 read(3, "", 1) = 0 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- close(3) = 0 waitpid(15408, NULL, 0) = 15408 open("/usr/share/locale-langpack/en/LC_MESSAGES/gstreamer-0.10.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=17144, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 17144, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x30193000 close(3) = 0 fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x30198000 write(1, "Could not initialize GStreamer: "..., 88Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal ) = 88 exit_group(1) = ?
