    [SOLVED] Lollypop doesn't work

    When I try to run Lollypop, the application immediatelly crashes.
    This is what it shows when I try to run it in console

    :~$ lollypop
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/lollypop", line 45, in <module>
    from lollypop.application import Application
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lollypop/application.py", line 15, in <module>
    gi.require_version("GstAudio", "1.0")
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 129, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
    ValueError: Namespace GstAudio not available

    What is lollypop, where did you get it (official repos, third party repos, flatpak, snap, etc?), if there were any special instructions, what were they?

    My guess is a required package that normally exists on a gnome desktop is missing, and the lollypop package does not have it in its dependency list. Can't tell what it might be, though.
    Another guess, if you are trying toi use the official Ubuntu repos, is that this package is one of those 'unsupported' ones that is directly imported from Debian, and not actually packaged and built by Ubuntu, and has had little user testing in 19.10.

    There is a PPA with a more up to date package that is purpose-built for Ubuntu
