Issue when Launching Pavucontrol

Post#1 by purplemarble » 23 May 2016, 05:55

Hi, When I try to launch Pavucontrol, nothing pops up. When I run it from the terminal, I get a message back that says: "pavucontrol: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I looked in USM, and SlackBuilds, I didn't find libgt3, or gtk3. Is there a package or a module that I can download somewhere?

This all started because on this computer, the audio won't work unless I select a certain option in the configuration tab of Pavucontrol, I tried other audio mixers and i had no luck. In case you are wondering, I'm using an Asus Chromebox CN series.

Don't know if it makes any difference but are you using Porteus 3.1 or the new v3.2rc2 ?
I'm using 3.1, I try to stick with the stable versions.

I did that, and still no results

EDIT: Never mind, I found it. Thanks

EDIT (again): Turns out I have another issue: In configuration, I select Analog stereo Input, and that always works, but for some reason it says it's unplugged.
I don't know what to do to get my audio working now. Any suggestions?

EDIT (yet again): Well, for some reason the audio works.

So, it turns out the audio only works with the Firefox HTML5 video player

@purplemarble

If still having problems, try the rc2 version and see if any better. No problem with gtk3 , as it's already included.

Just an update here.

So Porteus 3.2rcv2 didn't even download packages from the package manager, so I installed Lubuntu on my computer instead. I figured out the problem there and found a way to get the audio to work. Now I have Porteus 3.1 installed and I'm currently updating my system. So I should have everything working soon. :Yahoo!:
