--- Quote from: wellywu on July 20, 2015, 06:03:36 am ---I own both a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P and ZaReason Zeto notebook and desktop PC respectively running Ubuntu 14.04.2 64 bit LTS GNU/Linux. I purchased J River Media Center 21 master license and I successfully install Media Center 20 64 bit and put in my master license on both PCs. Now, I have an Oppo Digital HA-1 and Sennheiser HD-800 along with a CEntrance HiFi-M8 LX XL4 and Shure SE-846 CL on the desktop and notebook PCs respectively. When I select Tools -> Options -> Audio -> Audio Device -> I get a bunch of stuff that does not reflect my current audio devices' names. It's hard to sort out. I also can't get beyond 32 bit 44.1 kHz playback. How do I fix this? Also, J River Media Center 20 64 bit keeps crashing randomly. How do I fix this issue?
I keep getting this error:
wellywu@ZaReasonZeto:~$ mediacenter20
Found 0 devices (devices will be listed below)
Total time: 2 ms
Result: 0
mediacenter20: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/jriver/Media Center 20/libhogweed.so.2: undefined symbol: __gmpz_limbs_read
wellywu@ZaReasonZeto:~$
I set Ubuntu's Nautilus file manager to show hidden files and I deleted my /home/wellywu/.jriver hidden folder and I restored my master license. Now, it sort of works, but it keeps crashing in the middle of a song during playback. It also is limited to 32 bit 44.1 kHz playback. How do I fix this or should I wait for an update or upgrade to J River Media Center 21?

The "found 0 devices" refers to handheld (not directly supported yet) NOT audio devices.
Try this test build:
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter-20.0.132-amd64.deb
and report back.
It eliminates the need for an external libgmp.

That solved it for now. It's working now. Thanks for your help so far. If I run into another problem or I have another question, then I'll follow up here.

PS: Also, is there any cure for the ugly fonts and looks of the GUI in Linux?

Has anyone figured out how to solve the "Ugly" font issue? I looked under the font option in MC and I am only give three font and they are all "ugly". It causing buttons not to render correctly as well. I have the problem on both Ubuntu 14.04.2 and Xubuntu 14.04.2.

I had a similar issue after a clean Ubuntu 15.04 install, does it look like this?
Awesome Donkey:
If yours looks like the above, you might want to try completely removing mediacenter20, xfont-100dpi and xfont-75dpi and then reboot and then reinstall them. Try these in a Terminal;
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get remove mediacenter20 xfont-100dpi xfont-75dpi
--- End code ---
Then after rebooting try these in a Terminal;
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install mediacenter20 xfont-100dpi xfont-75dpi unifont
--- End code ---
Then reboot again. After rebooting try MC20 and see if it appears correctly. Otherwise try using xlsfonts in a Terminal and posting the output here.
