deadbeef是一款简约而不简单的音乐播放器, 占资源少, 支持的格式却不少.
昨天对ArchLinux进行了一次全面升级, 经历种种惊险, 终于跨越了从 glibc-2.16 到 glibc-2.17 的障碍, 内核也从 3.7 升级到了 3.9, 而且开始使用 systemd.
打开deadbeef, 发现无法正常启动, 图形界面出不来. 从命令行启动, 得到的输出如下:

^C
一开始我被那条 ERROR 信息吸引了, 即: libWildMidi(WM_BufferFile:640): ERROR Unable to stat /etc/timidity/freepats/freepats.cfg (No such file or directory). 上网搜索Unable to stat /etc/timidity/freepats/freepats.cfg (No such file or directory), 发现大多数 deadbeef 不能启动的案例都有这条错误信息, 但是解决问题的方法和这个错误无关, 比如一个解决方案是卸载一个mpris的第三方插件, 我并没有安装这个插件, 所以该解决方案对我没有效果. 甚至有人为了 fix 这个错误信息, 安装了 timidity, 还启动了 timidity 服务, deadbeef 依然无法正常启动.
我用emacs打开 ~/.config/deadbeef/config, 做了两次尝试:
(1) 把其中的 GTK2 改成 GTK3, 无效.
(2) 鉴于我没有用 systemd 启动 PulseAudio 服务, 我把output_plugin PulseAudio output plugin 改为 output_plugin ALSA output plugin, deadbeef 依然无法正常启动.
我发现旧有的config 文件中还设置了一些主窗口和对话框的尺寸, 我想有没有可能 Gui 从gtk2 变成 gtk3 后, 有些原来的设置有问题了呢.
于是我将 config 改命为 bak.config. 再启动 deadbeef, 窗口出来了, 正常启动了!
看来解决方法很简单, 就是删除原来的配置文件.
