I use Linux on Desktop for several years now & always thought one (of many) advantages is, that all programs (programmers) can use all available lib's.
In other words - how come it's not possible to just use the 1 library your programm needs but instead install a whole program?

I am also getting a segmentation fault while running

Code:
python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/mediabox_home_widget.py 1
on a terminal Faster Application Manager shows that the widget version is 0.4.1-11

Any ideas?

Thx!

[UPDATE]

The widget doesn't give a segmentation fault anymore. I didn't do anything except installing a couple of apps...

For me the widget does not work. If I select it from widget list nothing appears and the hildon desktop seems to crash and reload. (Some icons disappear and come back). If I start it from terminal, the output is something like it's a normal bug in some applications which are using the D-Bus libary..

Hello everyone.

Was just wondering if anyone has experiences any difficulty removing this widget?

Whenever I tried to remove this widget I get an error saying "I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/usr/share/gconf/schemas/advanced-power.schemas" Failed to open `/usr/share/gconf/schemas/advanced-power.schemas': No such file or directory". Is anyone experiencing the same thing? Is it a bug?

Just to clarify, I am a stranger when it comes to anything Linux, and while I have learnt basic commands I lack knowledge when it comes to troubleshooting and stuff.

Also I'm removing this widget not because there's any faults or I don't like it. It's only because I got used to the default media player widget and I've decided to go back to using that, and I don't see the point of having two media player widgets.

Here's a complete log of my xterm:

Code:
Nokia-N900:~# apt-get remove mediabox-home-widget

Any help on this will be appreciated.

I confirm, there is a bug (mistype, bad memory...). Everyone installed 0.4.2-2, follow these instructions before upgrading/removing:
as root
Code:
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/mediabox-home-widget.prerm
I strongly recommend to upgrade to version 0.4.2-3 with bug fixes and coverart.

It's in extras-devel. What's the point of providing a link?

Could you add the possibility to autostart mediabox minimized on
device boot?
Another possibility would be, that the widget catches the dbus call
play / pause and start mediabox minimized if not already done.
But the first on would be enough. So I can get into my car, press play
on my BT radio, and everything will run.
