How to fix Parole’s “Gstreamer backend error” in Fedora 20

2 Comments

I wrote this how to after receiving comments from Rudolf and Pavlo on my earlier how to regarding this issue.

If you get this screen:

updategstreamererror

All you have to do is fire up Terminal and type:

parole --xv false

updategstreamererror2

There might not be much screen activity after you have typed this command, but trust me Parole will work now  photo nodding.gif

When typing the command above,  it is very important that you are NOT logged in as root!!!! If you are, you will get this error message:

updategstreamererror3

If this how to doesn’t work, check this one!

(Remember, you can always do the cliccie for a larger piccie  photo puh2.gif)

  1. $ parole –xv false
    Unknown option –xv

  2. I get “Unknown option –xv” too
