[Bug 1313066] Re: gstreamer-qapt missing from kubuntu-desktop depends
Going to SRU as a dependency as discussed on IRC. This has the expected downside that one cannot remove all gstreamer bits without also loosing the meta-package, but given that gstreamer is an integrated part of the entire platform this is not an unreasonable behavior. ** Description changed: [Workaround] sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-qapt [Impact] gstreamer0.10-qapt is missing, this package provides gstreamer-codec-installer which is used for on-demand codec installation. Every new installation without this package will be unable to install codecs ondemand making all Phonon based software (Amarok and Dragon Player by default) unable to play restricted codecs using media (e.g. MP3s). Worse yet, due to presumed bugs in phonon-gstreamer Amarok will actually crash after not being able to install a codec. + + As discussed on IRC this is resolved by introducing a hard dependency + from kubuntu-meta (trusty) to gstreamer0.10-qapt. This is to ensure that + all existing installations get the codec helper to ensure the best + possible user experience. [Test Case] Try to play an mp3 in amarok on an otherwise new installation. A dialog should pop up allowing ondemand installation of the required codec packages. [Regression Potential] None. [Other Info] N/A -- I just installed kubuntu 14.04. I wanted to listen to the mp3 based audio stream of my favorite radio station. But Amarok didn't play anything. Instead it stucked and I needed to kill it. As an Kubuntu proven user I googled and started to look for gstreamer plugins. Finally I found the fluendo mp3 one which worked fine for me. But there should be a hint that the data source can not be played back due to missing plugins. That is really needed to give people a hint where they have to optimize their system. When a Windoof user switches to linux the fist thing he might want to do is playing back a mp3 and the system does not support this. It is ok, but there should be at least a feedback of the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313066 Title: gstreamer-qapt missing from kubuntu-desktop depends To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1313066/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

This bug was fixed in the package libqapt - 2.1.70-0ubuntu6 --- libqapt (2.1.70-0ubuntu6) utopic; urgency=medium * Rename gstreamer0.10-qapt to gstreamer-qapt + The codec-installer in theory supports both 0.10 and 1.x (at least 1.x) + The alternative system provided does not handle gstreamer plugin API versions at all, there is only one gstreamer-codec-installer and that one is used everywhere, so the API versin based name doesn't make sense to begin with. + A transitional package gstreamer0.10-qapt was added + The new gstreamer-qapt package replaces and conflicts the older gstreamer0.10-qapt versions + Renamed .install, postinst, prerm accordingly + Removed crap comments from maintainer scripts LP: #1313066 -- Harald SitterMon, 28 Apr 2014 12:11:00 +0200 ** Changed in: libqapt (Ubuntu Utopic) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313066 Title: gstreamer-qapt missing from kubuntu-desktop depends To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1313066/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
