Mac OS X QL installation help

[David Schlosser]

I use Quodlibet on my Linux music player, and have used it for many years on Windows laptops as well. Now I've moved to a Mac I'd like to use Quodlibet on it also.

I've installed Quodlibet using MacPorts (first time I've used it).  I also installed gstreamer010-gst-plugins-base using MacPorts.

Following that, I've attempted to start Quodlibet from a terminal prompt in XQuartz but it fails - I'm pretty inexperienced with this type of installation, so I'd appreciate any advice on how to resolve this.

thanks in advance, David

The error output is:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoMemory: Not enough memory

Hi David,

this is because dbus is not yet started on your
computer.
So, from the terminal, execute this command (on one line):
sudo launchctl load
-w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist

then this command (on one line)

launchctl load
-w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

This will enable the 2 components of dbus to run on startup.
(more info on dbus here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/)

You should then restart your computer and quodlibet will be able to run.
If you still have problem, don't hesitate to come back for help.

Cheers,

Thanks Eric, with your tips, QL now starts & plays!

There are a number of errors still indicating some configuration & permission issues - how can I resolve these:
