grooveshark doesn't works. The background of grooveshark is orange and doesn't load anything

l'm using ubuntu 12.04 and this happens to me as well. Any info l can provide?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, I need more
information to investigate it further.

Which version of WebKitGtk do you have installed? You can use following command:

aptitude show libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

Is the issue reproducible in WebKit GtkLauncher?

/usr/lib/webkitgtk-3.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher \
http://grooveshark.com

  status incomplete

hi Jiri

If I go to /usr/lib/webkitgtk-3.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher \

Yes I confirm that I can reproduce the error.

If I apply the command that you recomend to find out the version the result is next:

Unfortunately, the issue seems to be caused by a bug in WebKitGtk
1.8.x. I can reproduce it with versions 1.8.1-3.4 (Debian 7) and
1.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (Ubuntu 12.04), but not with 1.10.0-0ubuntu1.1
(Ubuntu 12.10) and 1.10.2-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 13.04). Since the issue is
not caused by a bug in Nuvola Player itseld, I'm closing this bug
report as invalid. I would recommend to upgrade to WebKitGtk 1.10.x or
contact support of your distribution to request backport of the fix.
Thanks for your feedback though.

Thks Jiri. Sorry But I would probably uninstall nuvola player. In the furture I would probaly used it again

Which package should I upgrade? Also, if it is not available, which ppa should I add to be able to upgrade?

Furthermore, would it be a good idea to specify the fixed version of webkit as dependency in a newer version of Nuvola? So when people install, they get the fix as well.

for me the solution that proposed jiri was not useful. use debian testing and to do what he proposed means that i have to install packages of the experimental branch of debian.

in addition the dependencies of the package that you have to replace are high.

You can use clementine. Works well with grooveshark.

> Which package should I upgrade? Also, if it is not available, which ppa

Package libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 to version 1.10.x. I don't use Ubuntu, so I
have no idea what PPA to add. Also, I don't know whether it is
possible to upgrade on your system at all. (It is a common issue of
Linux package management: if you particular distribution release
contains a library with a bug, you are usually screwed until the next
release.)

> Furthermore, would it be a good idea to specify the fixed version of webkit as dependency in a newer version of Nuvola? So when people install, they get the fix as well.

No, the Nuvola Player package cannot depend on a package version that
is not available in the default repositories. It would make the Nuvola
Player package non-installable.

ligwebkitgtk 3.0 has been updated to the version 2.0.4.2

So I installed again Nuvola player. Now just don't start and give me next error.

ligwebkitgtk3.0 version 2.0.4.2 uses GStreamer 1.0 API, whereas the
current Nuvola Player package for Sid has been built against GStreamer
0.10 API. It's necessary to rebuilt the Nuvola Player package for Sid
using GStreamer 1.0 API. Could you create a new bug report for this?

Ubuntu 12.04
I just upgraded ligwebkitgtk3.0 and its dependences by adding for the moment one of the Quantal repositories
http://packages.ubuntu.com/pl/quantal/amd64/libwebkitgtk-3.0-0/download

Nuvola player is working fine now.
Soon I'll see if whole Ubuntu works as well ;)

Very good tip!

Just did as you said, and it works now! Thanks a lot!

A small improvement on the link for those of us not speaking Polish:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/quantal/amd64/libwebkitgtk-3.0-0/download

Don't ued my tip!
It breaks Nautilus thumbails view

I use Elementary OS, and I don't have Nautilus. I didn't notice any problem due to upgrading that package.
Besides, eOS is based on Ubuntu 12.04 (and will stay so for some time) so this is the only solution I know of that fixes Nuvola.

I'm also experiencing this problem, and I'm on XUbuntu 13.04. I've confirmed that I have the 1.10.2 version of WebKitGTK (see below, also see http://pics.jakimfett.com/13-10-15_12:26:02.png)

For me, this problem didn't show up until about 2 weeks ago, before which I was fine. I thought it was a temporary thing (network problems, perhaps), so I'm just now trying to find a fix for it. Google brought me here, and according to the "resolution" (it's a problem with WebKitGTK 1.8.x), I shouldn't be having this problem.

I'm on the Stable Nuvolaplayer branch. Output of "aptitude show libwebkitgtk-3.0-0" is below.

Hi Jakimfett, I cannot reproduce your issue in Nuvola Player 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 13.04 with libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 1.10.2-0ubuntu1, so I'm afraid I cannot help you with the problem.

I'm running xUbuntu 13.04.

I created a fresh VM with vanilla xUbuntu 13.04, but when I went to install the nuvolaplayer package, I discovered that it was deleted today (18 October 2013) for Saucy, see http://pics.jakimfett.com/13-10-18_10:10:11.png

> I'm running xUbuntu 13.04.

All Ubuntu variants share a single repository, i. e. they have the
same libwebkitgtk.

Ubuntu 13.04 is Raring, not Saucy. (Packages for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy
are available in unstable PPA though.)
