Songbird 1.0 Fedora RPMs have landed!
 |
The time has finally come, Songbird 1.0 Fedora RPMs are now available! I know some of you have been very anxious to get your hands on these, so please enjoy. The kick ass dev's over at POTI have been working towards this for a very long time and it's great to finally see such a major milestone reached. For everyone out there that has been itching to get these packages, keep in mind that I do this on my own free time and separate from POTI's own internal build system. All of my packages are built from Songbird source with Fedora's official Koji build system, so often I have to debug issues and patch some scripts where necessary. If it were as simple as shitting out an RPM every release cycle I'd be more than happy to. :) |
So, without further ado, here are the packages! Some words of wisdom though: Songbird now relies heavily on gstreamer in order give proper playback. This means that you will need gstreamer along with it's full compliment of gstreamer-plugins-good, bad, and ugly in order to handle your audio files. I cannot set these as package requirements since "bad" and "ugly" are not allowed to be distributed with Fedora due to copyright issues.
Also, I do not currently have a working x86_64 or ppc desktop, so please let me know if either of those builds have issues. I have fully tested i386 in Fedora 10 and it works great, but I don't have the capacity to test all of the builds right now. Since Fedora 10 was only recently released I will be publishing Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 packages.

I have been looking forward to this. Just about to upgrade from songbird 0.7 on Fedora 10 x86_64. Will let you know how it goes.

First, Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm having problems installing the Fedora 10 rpm. When I run it I get the following error message:
failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "SetLocale" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit") (0)
Any idea what I need to do? I'm a linux noob, so I apologise if I missed something simple.

This was a bug in a batch of Fedora 10 updates - it has since been fixed and Songbird works perfectly. Thanks again.

I don't believe this is an issue with the Songbird rpm. A little googling came up with this post:

To digital ruin, The Sathy's
To digital ruin,
The Sathy's link you provided created even more problems for me. After I modified the file he sugested I could not go into log in screen (even I rebooted). So, all I had was black screen, could not do anything.
Fortunatelly, I found out how to solve the black screen (log in problem):
1. do Ctrl Alt F2 (or F3, or F4, not sure exactly). This brings you to command line screen and prompts you for user name and password to log in. Enter your user name then enter, then password, then enter
2. once logged in, log as super user by issuing:
su
then enter your super user password when prompted
3. edit your
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf
file so it looks like originally. To do this do:
vim /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf this opens the file in vim editor
here I removed the line :
, so my policy block looks like originally did before my change in above post:
4. Save, then reboot and you will be back in log in screen like before.
Still have not found solution to the TID error
You shouldn't have to do any
You shouldn't have to do any fixes at this point. The bug that was the cause of all of this has since been fixed and released in fedora-updates. You should only have to update to the latest Fedora packages.
ThanXX

Anyone know if there are songbird rpms for fedora12 available?

Does anybody know who works
Does anybody know who works on the contributed builds for Songbird on Fedora? I wonder for two reasons: Fedora is now at version number 12, and Songbird has now hit a stable release of 1.4.3. I had difficulty - to the point of unsuccessfulness - trying to install Songbird from the .tar.gzs. I also have trouble simply running the rpm for Fedora 11 x86_64 on my Fedora 12 x86_64. It dies all the time of its own volition. I love this program and would love to make it my iTunes on Linux.
F12 rpms of 1.4.3 are almost
F12 rpms of 1.4.3 are almost ready and will be released at some point this week.
