Clementine does not work at all

I installed Mate minumum version and then installed Clementine. I note that version 1.4.0RC1 was the version available in the repositories. Running this fails with "QSQLITE driver not loaded" and many other errors resulting from this.
I then downloaded V1.31 Xenial from the Clementine website and this failed to install with missing dependency "libcdio13 >= 0.83"
Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

I am having the same error. Clementine crashes when starting.

What do you see when you run it from the terminal?

Press CTRL+ALT+T then type:

clementine

Do you have the libqt5sql5 and libqt5sql5-sqlite packages installed?

To check, at the terminal again, run the following:

apt search libqt5sql5

You will see several lines. The two starting with the package names should end with something like [installed if they are installed.

If they are not installed, you can install them from the terminal with:

sudo apt install libqt5sql5 libqt5sql5-sqlite

If they are installed, something else is going on. I am not able to reproduce this with this application newly installed.

They are installed, let's wait a little more, it's just the beginning!
Thanks!!!

I had to install libqt5 etc as I had done a minimal install. Surprised it was omitted as it is only 279Kb. Here is a strange thing. I had installed the Cinnamon desktop for comparison and Clementine ran ok in Cinnamon. Back in Mate desktop it ran from the terminal but not from the menu. The monitor showed it loaded but sleeping with no gui. I reinstalled but it did not help. only minor messages when run from terminal as below. Congrats on the way 2 destops ran with no interference:

Could we get you to file a bug report on this please.

Thanks

The link takes me to a Panel discussion but I
believe you are referring to the Clementine issue. Apart from the
missing sqlite it seems to be a configuration issue which I cannot
reproduce. My Clementine.conf file shows startupbehaviour=3 and
showtrayicon=true which means the Main Window hidden with an icon
in the '` indicator-applet-complete'
applet. I removed this applet for various reasons so I ended up
with Clementine running in the background and no obvious method
to display it. Perhaps this applet should be made fixed as it
seems to be essential to other functions such as Network
display.

    The reason I was able to run Clementine from a terminal was

because I happened to have a terminal open as 'root' and I used
this. The Clementine.conf in the root home folder used a
startupbehaviour=1 which always displays the Clementine as
remembered from last use.

    I cannot remember changing this option at any time so I

completely uninstalled Clementine and manually deleted the conf
file. After a re-install Clementine started with the Main Screen
displayed OK.

  `

Thanks for the update.

So it appears that if you install the missing libqt5sql5-sqlite dependency and then delete the ~./config/Clementine/Clementine.conf file than it will run successfully.

Can those who are having this issue try that and see if that work-around works for you? Also please quit Clementine and restart and see if that is working after that.

Thanks

Hi there!
It works here for me but the icon don't have the option to show clementine once I close the window application.

Thanks. We've gotten confirmation that this issue is occurring on some other distro's as well.

We are going to remove it from the Software Boutique for the time being.

What a pity!
Clementine is amazing, synchonize my music and likes via Last.fm.
It's time to look for a new music player!
Thanks for help all of us!

Don't give up all hope just yet.
