Today I've discovered listen, a sound player for GNOME that could be a fusion of amaroK, banshee and rhythmbox. It's on ~x86 in Gentoo, so after adding the media-sound/listen ~x86 to /etc/portage/package.keywords I emerged it without problems. But... when trying to launch it I get the following error:

$ listen Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/listen", line 409, in ? Listen() File "/usr/bin/listen", line 136, in __init__ self.run() File "/usr/bin/listen", line 255, in run from player import Player File "/usr/lib/listen/player.py", line 35, in ? from misc_widget import VolumeSlider File "/usr/lib/listen/misc_widget.py", line 319, in ? from podcast_manager import PodcastManager File "/usr/lib/listen/podcast_manager.py", line 31, in ? from db_manager import DBManager File "/usr/lib/listen/db_manager.py", line 681, in ? DBManager = ListenDBManager(True) File "/usr/lib/listen/db_manager.py", line 39, in __init__ self.db = ListenDB(check_exist) File "/usr/lib/listen/db_manager.py", line 519, in __init__ self.cur.execute( requete_songs_view ) pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: no such table: main.Media After searching on google, gentoo's bugzilla and sourceforge page of listen, I get no solution. Then I try to run it as root. When running it as root, it works, printing some info on the shell: 

# listen
LISTEN : CREATE DATABASE
So the error is getting identified. But as I have no idea about python... The only thing I've been able to do is to search where the database was created. It was easy, it was saved on

/root/.listen/media.db I simply copy the .listen directory under my user home and chown it to my user:group. Now I can use listen.
