Strawberry Music player not launching

emasev

Hi,
since a couple of updates Strawberry does not seem to launch anymore. unfortunately i am not adept enough to really figure out why. Any help would be appreciated! as strawberry is by far the best music player i have found so far...
When i launch from terminal i get the following output:

Is this a problem with my install of solus or is anyone else having this problem? I also posted this on strawberry forum and somone replied that it has to with GTK...

ReillyBrogan

Strawberry was just updated on Unstable, and I'm able to launch it there (Plasma Wayland). Considering that the GTK stack was also updated I'd say that it's likely that whatever problem you have is likely resolved, though you'll have to wait for the next sync to get it unfortunately.

Thank you for your reply!
I have now updated the OS, but unfortunately I am still unable to launch strawberry.. Maybe this really is just a problem with my install? Do you think I should do a fresh install of the OS? Haven't reinstalled since the updates started again a couple of months ago.. I am using budgie btw.

Works for me on Plasma and in a VM using Budgie.

I would advise checking for and reinstalling broken packages:
sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall

Works for me too (on Plasma)

mh, I've tried running the command. Unfortunately opening strawberry still gives me the same error message..
Is there anything i could specifically check with GTK or Qt?

ReillyBrogan

Try launching it from the command line to see if there are any errors

emasev

It gives me the following error message:

Thank you so much for helping for this btw, as it seems to be only a problem for me.

'Gdkdisplaymanager' seems to be missing, but i'm not sure what this means or even if this is the real problem.

pomon

See if it will run with this command: QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=fusion strawberry

emasev

pomon

just tried it. Still gives exactly the same error message as above..

ReillyBrogan

What DE are you using here?

emasev

ReillyBrogan
I'm using budgie as DE

pomon

I can only suggest installing gdb. Run gdb strawberry. When (gdb) appears, type r, look at the logs. Then type bt, look at the logs. Maybe we'll find out more.

emasev

Ok when i type r I get following output:

after command bt i get following output:

Does this mean that it is libgdk-x11 package that is broken ?

ReillyBrogan

Disable qt6gtk2

emasev

Ok this fixed it. I hope disabling is the same as uninstalling the whole package which is what I did.
Thank you so much for the help! Really didn't expect to get help so quickly on the forum.
This was really the first time something broke on my system in at least 3 years of using solus.
