[Solved]unsatisfied gobject-introspection-1.57.2-1.mga7.i586

[Grabo]

I needed to re-install blueman and found several issues with Perl. Installed Active Perl-5.242.3 from Activestate as well as Yapp since the /usr/lib/site_perl directory was missing.

Retried to install blueman, this resulted;

Code: Select all

[root@localhost BlueMan]# urpmi blueman-2.0.4-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm

While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.

[root@localhost BlueMan]#

Then;
(as per the Launcher added to Panel 1 from the Whisker menu)

Code: Select all

[root@localhost blueman]# locate bluetoothctl
/usr/bin/bluetoothctl
[root@localhost blueman]# /usr/bin/bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 20:68:9D:D0:E0:54 localhost.localdomain [default]
[NEW] Device 00:23:7F:DF:6F:47 PLT_ML10
[NEW] Device A0:32:99:7C:C2:61 Lenovo TAB 2 A7-30HC
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# ls     *****Just being difficult
Invalid command


This was one of several different attempts to invoke blueman with no response.

These devices are known, so they must be somewhere, but;

Code: Select all

[caldon@localhost ~]$ locate PLT_ML10
[caldon@localhost ~]$
[caldon@localhost ~]$ find PLT_ML10
find: ‘PLT_ML10’: No such file or directory
[caldon@localhost ~]$


End result; no joy.
What puzzles me is where the mga7 gobject in the subject line comes from.
I understand and accept that is Cauldron work being done. If I can get that solved . . .

Any ideas on how I can get Blueman to work are welcome.
Thank you.

Congratulations, you just broke your perl installation, and with that also urpmi, as urpmi is written in perl.

Also your bluetoothctl output looks just fine, just because you entered an invalid command does not mean it was broken.
And there's no direct relation between blueman and bluetoothctl.

Totally apart from that, locateand find are intended to find files on your box, not devices. Also your find syntax would be wrong, it is find starting_path search_criteria where starting_path is a placeholder for the path where find starts searching, and search_criteria would be the file/folder name.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active --list-url
rpm -qa|sort|grep mga7

Ta. Told you I break things. Wizard's apprentice. And it explains all the other diagnostics I'm getting in Terminal. For what it's worth blueman did not work long before any of this. Anyway, it may interest you that I am doing Linux Foundaton's edX Introduction to Linux course. Thanks for the find syntax, suspected something like that. The /usr/bin/bluetoothctl "command" was entered on the luck of the draw.

The device find/locate was done on the premise that a computer is just a very quick idiot. For that connection to be made whatsoever there HAS to be DATA about that device on the BOX. Had an enlightening read on sockets over the weekend. With nothing else recognizable and the Plantronics earpiece nowhere near, find/locate could possibly only access anything on the box. I lost it three weeks ago. That anything came of it was a surprise though!

But that's how I break things. Taking no prisoners usually leaves one with dead bodies, no excuses, no defences.

Thank you, this gives me a whole raft of ideas to follow up.

Then please mark your post as [done].

I then uninstalled urpmi in MCC, which obviously led to several issues. (Previously urpmi.update -a and other attempts did not address the issue). This was evident when I later clicked on MCC again. drakconf was absent. Used dnf install for that and then urpmi. dnf installed my downloaded Blueman from pkgs.org and rebooted. Now it works. There are some other issues outstanding, but can wait until later. Learned much and MCC now wakes up in a flash.
