Well, there are two different issues ::<br><br>a)<br>First is the data-store issue.<br><br>As seen from the logs, the (mp3) file that was opened, was present in a USB pen drive.<br>ANY ENTRY, when accessed via USB-pen-drive, will give this error (i.e. mp3, jpeg, png - any file).<br>
<br>CAUSE ::<br>=======<br><br>The code in "carquinol" package, presumes the data-to-be-accessed coming from the journal.<br><br><br><br>SOLUTION ::<br>==========<br><br>As happens with all entries that are accessed from USB pen-drives, these entries too need to be copied first to the journal, to maintain compatability.<br>
<br><br><br>SOLUTION-IMPLEMENTATION-REQUIREMENT ::<br>=====================================<br><br>The "etoys-sugar-code" is needed, wherein a flag may be passed to objectchooser, to copy the file to the journal if invoked from etoys; and subsequently access the journal-entry thereafter.<br>
<br>Bert, we will be grateful if you could provide the code-location for this.<br><br><br><br><br><br>b)<br>The second issue is the sound not playing.<br><br>I ensured that the following packages were installed on my non-XO laptop (Dell-F14-laptop) ::<br>
<br>* gstreamer-plugins-bad<br>* gstreamer-plugins-ugly<br>* gstreamer-ffmpeg<br>* etoys<br>* squeak-vm<br>* squeak-vm-nonXOplugins<br><br>Thereafter, I downloaded the following MPEG file ::<br><a href="http://samples.fileformat.info/format/mpeg/sample/567fd6a0e0da4a8e81bdeb870de3b19c/DELTA.MPG?AWSAccessKeyId=0V91BEFA7GM093MEVMG2&Signature=zvF6p5NE3Jz3oSKtyw2obyPosDQ%3D&Expires=1338322225">http://samples.fileformat.info/format/mpeg/sample/567fd6a0e0da4a8e81bdeb870de3b19c/DELTA.MPG?AWSAccessKeyId=0V91BEFA7GM093MEVMG2&Signature=zvF6p5NE3Jz3oSKtyw2obyPosDQ%3D&Expires=1338322225</a><br>
<br><br>and tried playing via "Supplies" -> "Object Catalogue" -> "Multimedia" -> "MPEGPlayer". However, I got the same "abandon" error, with the second-last, and third-last stack-point error as follows ::<br>
<br>#####################################################################<br>primitiveFailed<br> "Announce that a primitive has failed and there is no appropriate <br> Smalltalk code to run."<br><br> self error: 'a primitive has failed'<br>
<br><br>primFileValidMPEG: aPath<br> "Check to see if the file is valid"<br> <primitive: 'primitiveMPEG3CheckSig' module: 'Mpeg3Plugin'><br> self primitiveFailed<br>#####################################################################<br>
<br><br><br>SOLUTION ::<br>=========<br><br>I guess there is still some plugin missing on my Dell laptop.<br>But I have gone out of ideas to try.<br><br>Bert, we will again be grateful :)<br><br><br><br><br>Thanks and Regards,<br>
