I'm having some very strange issues with trying to get an application to start up automatically. Its an audio player called silverjuke.
Sometimes it starts automatically, sometimes it doesn't.
When it doesn't start automatically it won't start manually either. I have tried via the applications menu, a desktop link and terminal. Terminal doesn't output any error, it just does nothing unless i sudo silverjuke from terminal in which case it launches no problem.
Any ideas?
I have never used silverjuke so may not have the answer but for others attempting to duplicate and resolve your issues I have an idea.
Upon first running after downloading it from the repository I got numerous errors
on 19.04 for liberation fonts ...bold...italic etc
The GUI showed boxes for the tracks after I added my music search path.
The solution for me and I see no harm in you doing it too....is to update your font cache by the command in quote box as code box is not contrasting well enough for me
sudo fc-cache -f -v
copy and paste that into a terminal.
I will show editted output
/usr/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 7 dirs
SNIP
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation: caching, new cache contents: 16 fonts, 0 dirs
SNIP
fc-cache: succeeded
If you do not see that last line please post all of your terminal output for the command please.
NEXT
I show what to expect on your system if you installed correctly
ls -al /usr/bin/silverjuke
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5764664 Mar 5 06:42 /usr/bin/silverjuke
That last bit of r-x means we should be able to execute silverjuke
so there may be something wrong with your install rather than the App itself
QUESTION
How did you install it?
If from the repo try a forced re-install by command in quote box
sudo apt-get reinstall silverjuke
good luck
Thanks for the response.
This made no difference, the really weird thing is that sometimes it boots fine and sometimes it doesn't.
do any other apps act that way too?
Would you consider trying an alternative player depending on what you need?
Sorry you are having some problems.
To clarify is this issue occurring on Ubuntu MATE or on Windows 10? If on Ubuntu MATE which version are you using?
Hi, please try
ps -ef | grep silverjuke
Maybe the process is running hidden.
Try to reboot or logout/logout.
Once booted try the ps command to see if its running or not.
Next killall silverjuke ans start it again from command line
Next tell us
