[SOLVED] Debian Etch/XFCE4.4 rc2 - thunar volman won't install

aegeo · 2007-05-08 14:08:57

I have tried the tarball installation of thunar volman, both from tarball and svn. After some effort it compiled and installed, but:

$ thunar-volman
thunar-volman: error while loading shared libraries: libexo-hal-0.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

:?
Any suggestions please.

EDIT:

here's the last frames when makeing libexo-r25686.tar.bz2 from svn:

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/x/exo-0.3.3svn-r25686/pixmaps'

Do you have the 0.3.2 version of Exo?

aegeo · 2007-05-08 15:07:01

libexo-0.3-0

Nick · 2007-05-08 16:46:41

0.3 is not enough, you really need version 0.3.2. Running exo-csource -v will show you the right version.

aegeo · 2007-05-09 07:31:46

Apologies. Here's the version check.

$ exo-csource -v
exo-csource 0.3.2

I retried to reinstall exo 3.2 as follows

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
# make
# make install

Instructions come from os-cillation (http://www.os-cillation.de/index.php?id=29&L=5). No .deb packages are available for 3.2 I'm afraid.

Here's the final output from the compile process

and here's what happens after installation

$ thunar-volman
thunar-volman: error while loading shared libraries: libexo-hal-0.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Many thanks.

Well and is libexo-hal-0.3.so.0 indeed missing in /usr/local/lib? If so, maybe you don't have the hal build files on your system. You can check this by running the ./configure in exo, there will be a line like this at the end: HAL support: no/yes.

aegeo · 2007-05-09 08:53:22

It seems a no on both:

$ locate libexo-hal-0.3.so.0
/home/x/exo-0.3.2/exo-hal/.libs/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0
/home/x/exo-0.3.2/exo-hal/.libs/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0.4.0
/home/x/exo-0.3.3svn-r25686/exo-hal/.libs/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0
/home/x/exo-0.3.3svn-r25686/exo-hal/.libs/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0.4.0
/home/x/local/lib/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0
/home/x/local/lib/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0.4.0
/usr/local/lib/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libexo-hal-0.3.so.0.4.0

and

~/exo-0.3.2$ ./configure

Build Configuration:

* HAL support: yes
* Debug Support: minimum
* Python Support: no

Nick · 2007-05-09 09:06:09

Well you can add the /usr/local/lib path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root, that might solve the problem.

aegeo · 2007-05-09 11:06:24

The path was already in the file so I ldconfigged and volman started working.
I logged out and back in to make sure everything was working but seem to have trashed X.

Now I am in trouble and back to win 98.

Here's the output from .xsessionerrors:

/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp

I exported /etc/xdg to the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS environment variable to no avail.

First: it's impossible this is caused by ldconfig. Second: I have no idea what is causing this, you can try clearing the saved sessions (rm -R ~/.cache/sessions).......

aegeo · 2007-05-09 12:43:26

OK, back on Debian with twm [nope, IceWM], so X is _not_ trashed, it's got to do with XFCE.

Good news is that thunar-volman now works like a charm :-| but XFCE won't start up.

Clearing the cache did not help BUT come to think of it you are right, I did do something I wouldn't do again and managed to trace what I did:

from http://www.corsac.net/rss.php?cat=debian

Hal support is indeed not enabled in i386 build (it is for ppc
builds) on debian.corsac.net. I won't rebuild Xfce 4.4 for i386
with exo hal support enabled, as I don't really have currently
enough power to do that more than once in a while.

But ema has begun to upload Xfce 4.4 package to experimental, so
exo (with hal support enabled) is available on Debian Experimental
packages.

If you want to test it, add experimental sources to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ experimental
main

Then update and install exo:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install libexo-0.3-0/experimental

At that point aptitude certainly trashed OOcalc which I reinstalled. The XFCE session was not damaged, it kept running fine until I logged out. Maybe a config file was trashed.

EDIT

Here's what actually happened (I ctrl-c'd it when it was removing OO-calc)

Would resinstalling XFCE be an option?

Rethanks

aegeo · 2007-05-09 16:05:03

The problem with XFCE startup dissolved into nothing: After installing and using IceWM the entire afternoon, including Thunar and thunar-volman, logging out and logging back in choosing XFCE session on the session manager did the trick.

ldconfig definitely got thunar-volman working.

Many many thanks & kudos Nick for your great support.
