FATAL_ERROR

i have installed minimal ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop.

When i run "mocp" from terminal and go to a directory i get this error:

FATAL_ERROR: Can't receive value from the Server

But when i do "sudo mocp". It allows me to play songs perfectly.

Anyone know what this error is?

Thank you advanced.

Hi, the server apparently has trouble accessing the directory itself or files in it. Try running it with "mocp -SF" in one console and the client in another and go to the directory again. You should see the server crashing in the first console and outputting a better error message.

Thank you for the reply.

Here is the error message when I go to the directory.

Just deleted everything in ~/.moc/cache and MOC works just fine!

The freeze is resolved by SVN r2492: Use process heap memory for Berkeley DB storage.
Also see: http://moc.daper.net/node/846

Well, now I remember that I also had to delete the cache :-)
If I recall it well the database engine was updated which made the old cache invalid (no backward compatibility).
pedrom169: If deleting the cache doesn't help you could you share your version/revision number?
