I passed my entire day trying to install the newer version of Subtitle Editor on Ubuntu Studio 14.04, without success.
In particular, I was required to install a newer version of GStreamer. The version previously installed was 0.10.something. I installed GStreamer all day long, from a lot of sources. I added a ppa and downloaded it from there, I installed it from .tar archive in a couple of different ways, and in the end I didn't solve anything.
What's more, now Totem doesn't work, and if I try to start it from terminal I get this message in the GUI:
It's in italian, it reads: "Impossible to start Totem. Some necessary plugins are missing. Check that the program is correctly installed".
After I click "ok" it closes itself, and in the terminal I read this:
alex@Sargon:~$ totem
** (totem:3702): WARNING **: Element 'playbin' is missing, verify your installation
** (totem:3702): WARNING **: Element 'audioconvert' is missing, verify your installation

** (totem:3702): WARNING **: Element 'autoaudiosink' is missing, verify your installation
(totem:3702): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone
called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().
I uninstalled it and installed it back again, but the problem remains.
So I'm assuming that I screwed up something with GStreaming. I guess the best thing I can do is to totally remove it than to install the default version back.
How can I do that?
