preferences+dconf dont work #611

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start a gnome-mplayer process
2. open edit->preferences
3. or try to turn off enable mouse-fast-forward via dconf-editor

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
nothing works anymore in case (2.)...
the mouse cant scroll in the movie in case (3.)...
both should work...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gnome-mplayer-common-1.0.6-2.fc17.x86_64
gnome-mplayer-1.0.6-2.fc17.x86_64

Please provide any additional information below.
some months ago somebody here gave me some advice about dconf settings, so that 
i could fix some other problem, that i cant remember... since then the 
preferences menu doesnt work anymore... :-)
should i clean dconf completely and then reinstall gnome-mplayer?

Can you clarify what you mean by "nothing works anymore in case (2)". I've been 
using gnome-mplayer with dconf on my F16 box for a long time. I also just 
tested that option here and it appears to work.

Removing gnome-mplayer and gmtk and then clearing the preferences out of dconf 
would not be a bad idea.

"nothing works anymore in case (2)":
either
1.
i cant click any window or icon... i need to do a "ctrl+alt+backspace" in order 
to get a working gnome session again... 
or
2.
just the gnome-mplayer window freezes and i have to SIGKILL the gnome-mplayer 
process...

"then clearing the preferences": how can i do that? IIRC i tried that before 
and that caused this bug... since i upgraded from fedora core 16 to fc17 i cant 
use the mouse to scroll the video back/forth...

Yeah I would try a reinstall and see if that fixes it. When you uninstall it 
should pull the values out of dconf. You can try running dconf-editor after 
uninstalling and check to make sure that 'gnome-mplayer' is not under apps. If 
it is you might have some lingering config files.

i erased/uninstalled gnome-mplayer, but dconf still knows it:
> dconf list /apps/gnome-mplayer/
preferences/

and it seems to use (./.config/dconf/user) a nasty binary format...

do u know how to repair it?
is ther something like a dconf-cleaner?
i just have gconf-cleaner...

might try

dconf reset /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/  

if that doesn't work you might have to do each item.. 

Another thing you might do is search for the files named

apps.gecko-mediaplayer.preferences.gschema.xml
apps.gnome-mplayer.preferences.enums.xml
apps.gnome-mplayer.preferences.gschema.xml

And remove them if they exist and then do a dconf reset

first i tried
> dconf reset -f /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/
without success...

then i deleted the schema/enums files...
then i did a
> dconf reset -f /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/
# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schema
again and this time
> dconf list /apps/gnome-mplayer/
did not produce any output...

then i reinstalled gnome-mplayer and gnome-mplayer-common...
but neither preferences dialog nor the mouse-fast-forward still works...
changing "mouse-wheel-changes-volume" via dconf-editor doesnt help, too...

have you reinstalled gmtk? I tested the functionality here and it works with 
the source code on Fedora 16, so it might be a packaging error at this point.

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 20 Apr 2012 at 7:55

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
now i reinstalled gmtk,
but it still doesnt work...

the --reallyverbose option didnt deliver any message about the preferences 
dialog...

can i somehow get some information where it gets stuck?
is there some GTK debug environment variable?

I cannot reproduce it here. I tested with my F-17 VM, and I can go to 
preferences, toggle the mouse scroll option, close the prefs window and play an 
audio file.

yes, it must be something special with my box...
the gconf/dconf things r very old (i upgraded them since fc14)...
i will try to find out where it hangs...
i just thought i should ask here, because gnome-mplayer is the only application 
that is affected...

If you are having trouble deleting the user settings, you could try creating a 
new user account and checking if you can reproduce the issue.

Arne, my box has been upgraded since Fedora 11. One tool I have found useful is 
yum distro-sync. But you might have to reinstall a few things after that.

I logged out of the gnome session and
removed the ~/.config/dconf directory to a secret place where gnome couldnt 
find it... :-)
then i logged in again...

everything looked weird... this brand new "activity menu" thingy showed up in 
the upper panel...

the preferences dialog of gnome-mplayer worked as it should...
just the mouse wheel didnt work as it should (even after i unchecked the "mouse 
wheel changes volume" checkbox)... :-)

distro-sync would just change at and gmtk... giggle

it seems like i did something wrong with dconf... :-)
but i still like gnome-mplayer best...

Interesting that the mouse wheel seeking didn't work. What type of file were 
you playing? I just tested it here on my setup and it worked fine. Does the 
normal seek bar work with those files?

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 21 Apr 2012 at 2:14

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
i tried different files...
arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn work...
the seek bar works, too...
just the mouse wheel doesnt...

when i run a standalone mplayer window, i can use the mouse wheel...

but that is not very bad... now i just have to use both hands (keyboard for 
scrolling and mouse for changing focus to the gnome-mplayer window), when i 
need to scroll back a little bit, because i didnt understand a joke or so... in 
fc16 i could do it just with the mouse...

I have the same problem as described at top - mouse wheel doesn't work any more 
(in gnome-mplayer only, in the other applications it works fine).
I'm using gnome-mplayer 1.0.6-1 x86_64 on ArchLinux x86_64.
The problem appeared after I updated the following libraries (not the 
gnome-mplayer itself):
glib2 (2.30.2-2 -> 2.32.1-2)
pango (1.29.4-1 -> 1.30.0-1)
gtk3 (3.2.3-3 -> 3.4.1-1)
gsettings-desktop-schemas (3.2.0-1 -> 3.4.1-1)
gnome-desktop (1:3.2.1-1 -> 1:3.4.1-1)
gdk-pixbuf2 (2.24.1-3 -> 2.26.1-1)
libgnome-keyring (3.2.2-1 -> 3.4.1-1)
gconf (3.2.3-1 -> 3.2.5-2)
gobject-introspection (1.30.0-1 -> 1.32.1-1)

I may have an idea as to why the mouse wheel is not working. But at the moment 
the fix breaks DVD menus..

Try this patch and see if it fixes the wheel on your system

Can you try SVN r2247 and see if that fixes the issue with the mouse wheel. It 
seems to work correctly here. I just added more events to the event mask and 
that seemed to fix it.

i used the wrong account for Comment#21... so i deleted it... sorry

cool, but:
i cant install gmtk-devel, because:
i use ur cool very special gmtk version... :-)

when will rpmfusion update their rpms?

in reply to Comment#22:
currently i use
gmtk.x86_64             1.0.7a1-1.fc16              @/gmtk-1.0.7a1-1.fc16.x86_64

1.0.7a1 is newer that what rpmfusion has. I assume you got it using the RPM 
spec shipped with the tarball, so what is the problem doing it again for r2247?

Well that is unfortunate that the mouse still doesn't work. I am waiting to 
upgrade my desktop to F17 so I personally cannot duplicate the problem at the 
moment. I'm wondering if the something was added to GTK 3.4 that I just have 
not seen yet that is required to make the wheel work.

Quick google search found this..

And a quick google search

https://www.google.com/search?q=gtk+3.4+mouse+wheel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=o
rg.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a

seems to note that this a common issue. So looks like I need to fix the code.

I've tried the last patch and the problem remains.

I've noticed that when the mouse pointer is over the volume button rotating the 
mouse wheel actually changes the volume, but rather slowly (50 rotations to go 
from max to mute). When the button is pressed wheel changes volume much faster 
(5 rotations to go from max to mute).
Also when mouse pointer is over the timeline control, rotating the mouse wheel 
moves the time pointer but it instantly returns at its original position and 
doesn't affect the played movie at all. Also rotating the wheel forward moves 
the pointer backwards (which is the opposite than it was before).
Rotating the wheel over the movie playing area doesn't do nothing.
Changing the preference "Use Mouse Wheel to change volume, instead of seeking" 
doesn't affect the described above behavior.
The behavior is the same in patched and non patched version.

Seems like GTK 3.4 has some backward compatibility issues in this area. 
Unfortunately, I'm not sure when I will have a GTK 3.4 machine to test with so 
I don't have an ETA on when this will be fixed. In my opinion this is really a 
GTK issue, but I'm sure they will right this off as something that should be 
fixed at the application level.
