Hello,

I try to install Elisa on a Gentoo box from Dang's overlay but it doesn't start. The installation seems to be correctly done but when I try to launch elisa, nothing happens :

Code:

orgoz@mythbox ~ $ elisa -t
orgoz@mythbox ~ $ elisa -l
orgoz@mythbox ~ $ cat elisa.log
orgoz@mythbox ~ $ ls -la ~ | grep .elisa
orgoz@mythbox ~ $

Any idea to solve that ?

Thanks

Is there any way to debug a little more the launch process ?

Try

Code: Select all

GST_DEBUG=3 elisa &>  elisa.log

and post the resulting elisa.log file here.

hi guys and i'm running elisa 0.5.6 from dang's overlay and seem be having excesive cpu usage with it, ie 100% cpu when idle and i can't access the settings in the gui and it seems most of the plugins / themes don't want to work for me, i followed the instructions on the gentoo wiki and read all the posts i could find on here, yet your config files names don't seem to match up with the one the version i'm running seems to create on its first run, can anyone read see any obvious things wrong here please ?

I also have a very similar looking config file. I an using all the latest ~amd64 packages on a hardened SELinux system.

As elisa is loading, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

There are numerous other WARN's that are displayed as well, but after this displays, elisa remains black (no display), and I cannot exit without hitting CTRL-C in the terminal where I ran it.

I've given up on elisa for a while. I had too much trouble with twisted.
But a while back the only way I could start it was by setting the LC_ALL env var.

Code: Select all

LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" elisa
