Xfmedia segmentation fault

Post by fredbird67 »

Having decided to switch from GNOME to Xfce for my desktop, I installed the mint-meta-xfce package. All went perfectly there, although it took me a minute to figure out how to figure out hot to re-enable Compiz and the wobbly windows and the like, but that's all running just hunky-dory, too.

I also downloaded a couple of native Xfce media programs -- Xfburn and Xfmedia. However, I'm having a little problem with Xfmedia. Whenever I try to start it, it acts like it's going to start, and then disappears. Running it via the terminal, I got a segmentation fault error -- that's all it said, was just "segmentation fault", with nothing else whatsoever to clue one in on what happened. I looking around on Google and the Ubuntu forums, I found that some people had mentioned being able to run Xfmedia as root just fine. I tried that on here too, and I could also run it as root just fine, too -- but that's not how I wanna do it, of course.

Obviously there's a permissions issue somewhere. The question, of course, is where's the file and/or directories that need to have their permissions changed. I checked a few directories that might pertain to the problem, and their permissions checked out just fine (read & write for root, read-only for everyone else). Any ideas, anyone?

Perhaps you'd be better off installing the xfce edition if you want to use that DE?
