Application failed to initialize

Post by rayfun »

Hi,

I've successfully compiled and installed (/usr/local) version 1.15.3 of MakeMKV.
This is a fresh install, OS (Ubuntu 20.04) is brand new.
There are no duplicate, pre-existing libraries.

Starting MakeMKV results in a pop-up saying:
"MakeMKV BETA popup"
"Application failed to initialize".

That's it. Any ideas before I compile in debug mode and start debugging?

Thanks,
rayfun

Try running makemkv from the command line, it will show more errors and may give you a clue what's happening.

That is not the case. See attached screenshots.

This is a message in syslog that comes up when trying to start MakeMKV.

Code: Select all

gnome-shell[2918]: Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x3400008 specified for 0x3400006.

Had makemkv-oss configured and install to prefix /usr/local and had not adjusted PREFIX in makemkv-bin Makefile.
So makemkv was looking for /usr/local/bin/makemkvcon but that was located in /usr/bin.
