doesnt start, no error message?
So, I installed the latest ("nightly") version of songbird (1st time ever, I've never had songbird on my system). I use awesome WM, arch linux, and have various qt/gtk applications including firefox that work fine. Songbird, trying to initiate it from command line, simply doesnt work. I dont see a debug or verbose mode either? So I don't even know what else to tell you. It just stalls for a couple seconds and then moves to the next command prompt line.
Update: It runs with root privs (sudo) and spits this error a lot:
(songbird-bin:8630): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/songbird/gst-plugins/libgstpulse.so': libpulse.so.0: cannot
but it continues on just fine.
Needless to say I would rather not run this app under sudo

Inappropriate?The Songbird tarball comes with everything wrapped in a top-level Songbird directory, so I'd expect your path to be /usr/lib/Songbird/songbird. Did the tarball extract to the right place?
Once you get everything extracted, you may just be having a permissions problem; it looks like we're shipping the tarball with excessively restricted permissions, so try freeing that up a bit; "chmod -R ga+rX /usr/lib/Songbird" will make it so that any user on the system can see and execute the Songbird app.
Finally, how are you launching Songbird? You'll want to launch it through the songbird shell script and not the songbird-bin binary, so "/usr/lib/Songbird/songbird" should be the ticket here. -
Inappropriate?I was running it just from typing "songbird" into the terminal (or, sudo songbird to get it to actually run) running the shell script (not root) came out with:
*** Registering components in: notifyMeModule
*** Registering components in: alertsServiceModule
but it didnt load. (also, as a side note, it was /usr/lib/songbird aka "songbird" wasnt capitalized)
Then I tried running the shell under sudo and it ran.
Then I changed permissions, and it seemed to be *loading* find (showed similar command line output when run under sudo), but then only this popped up:
"The application had problem and crashed.
Unfortunately the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash.
Details: The application didn't leave an application data file."
Heres the CL stuff:
