It was the first error on startup for 1.8 mintube for dpup.was libphonon a problem at all..
I'm still wrestling it.
my previous post was showing minitube wotking in my Carolina 1.1 install from Carolina package manager. It is a older version because on open I got a update message.
I was thinking of trying to get a .xz Slackware package installed of the version 2 but I might have spoken too soon of running minitube in SlackO.
I did not realize phonon was such a b____.
