Greetings,

I am having trouble with totem. I loaded it via the start menu but it didn't work, so I tried loading it from Konsole (in KDE) and I got the follow message...

jay@jaybox jay $ totem
INFO (22576: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.6.4
INFO (22576: 0) CPU features: (00000000) MMX SSE
INFO (22576: 0) registry: loaded global_registry in 0.189312 seconds
(/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.6/registry.xml)
DEBUG: gstgconf: error parsing pipeline osssink sync=false
No such element osssink

** (totem:22576): WARNING **: No GConf default audio sink key and osssink doesn't work
** Message: failed to render default audio sink from gconf
jay@jaybox jay $

Does anyone know how to get around this or what it means.. GCONF is installed.

Thanks

Something is wrong in the gstreamer properties:
first start by running gst-registry-0.x (where x is 8 or 6 or whatever you have on your system)
Then run gstreamer-properties and configure the sinks correctly (use alsa and try to test them)

Looks like it is a gstreamer problem. What you might try is emerging totem with USE="-gstreamer" and it will use XINE as the backend instead.

Code: Select all
