Bugzilla Bug 143810

when trying to upgrade my system, it tries to upgrade to totem 1.4.2-r1, which
is a dependency for gnome. unfortunately it fails misetably, with the following
error:

checking for backend libraries... checking for GST... yes
GStreamer-0.10
checking GStreamer 0.10 playbin plugin... no
configure: error:
                                        Cannot find required GStreamer-0.10
plugin 'playbin'.
                                        It should be part of gst-plugins-base.
Please install it.

and strangely enough, gstreamer doesn't actually see any of it's plugins:

even though they are installed:

and the plugin in question, playbin is there where it should:

# equery files gst-plugins-base | grep playbin
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.a
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.la
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.so


explicitly telling gstreamer where to look for them gives another result:

# gst-inspect-0.10 --gst-plugin-path=/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.


removing the plugins, and leaving only the base plugins results in an other
error:

naturally I read through the buglist, and disabled prelinking among other
things. the ebuild also puts the library in question into the prelink mask:

# echo $PRELINK_PATH_MASK
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10:/lib/modules:/usr/lib/locale:/usr/lib/wine:/usr/lib/valgrind:*.la:*.png:*.py:*.pl:*.pm:*.sh:*.xml:*.xslt:*.a:*.js


I tried to unmerge and re-emerge the gstreamer packages several times, but to
no avail :(

frankly, I don't use totem at all - I just want my gnome setup :)

Standard gnome procedure : please downgrade your CFLAGS to "-O2 -pipe"
(-march/mtune may be allowed) and try again. Try rebuild all that depends on
Gstreamer.

I'd rather say, search again through bugzilla. There are other bugs like this
for gstreamer 0.10
If my memory is good, it was solved by recompiling liboil and then
gst-plugins-base.
Please search again in bugzilla.

recompiled liboil, but the effect is the same :(

will try with -O2 -pipe

tried with CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" as well, but to no avail :(

Did you rebuild ffmpeg with those CFLAGS too?

My guess is that it's CFLAGS related, please also recompile all dependencies of
gstreamer (glib/glibc/gcc).

I'm seeing this problem as well, and my CLFAGS have always been set to:

CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=i686"

so how can it be a CFLAGS problem in this case?

I don't know.. it was a hunch and since it didn't get reported after that I got
no counterevidence.

Do you use prelinking ?

Good question. It's whatever is the default when a system is built.  I"ve never
messed with prelinking since I've not needed to.

I have the same problem when installing totem-2.16.4.

Trying to run gst-inspect-0.10 as root and normal user give different results:

(In reply to comment #10)

Upgraded gstreamer and gst-plugins-base from 0.10.8 to 0.10.11, and liboil from
3.6-r1 to 3.10-r1.

totem installs, and run fine now. And gst-inspect gives sane output.

Awesome -- updating to those newer versions worked for me as well.  This has
been borked for quite a while on my system -- it's great to have finally found
a fix!

Thanks a lot. The new package versions helped and I can go back to using gnome
again!

This bug is still marked NEW and I'm still seeing this with totem 2.18.1-r1 and
gst-plugins-base 0.10.12. I cannot emerge totem no matter how many times I
recompile my entire system. This is similar to another bug I filed (#179698).

And with gstreamer-0.10.14, gst-plugins-base-0.10.14? It's weird only you are
having these issues.

If I were the only one having this issue, this bug would have been marked
closed by now. Alas 0.10.14 suffers from the same problem.

Then we need a up to date backtrace if you're really experiencing the same
issue still. In fact, it was never provided in this bug report as it should
have been.
Setting GST_DEBUG=3 or 4 environment variable might also provide additional
info. Base line is, you can't just say "it doesn't work for me" as it really
doesn't help at all.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gst-running.html

Well, it seems the bug I originally created bgo 179698 no longer exists for
some reason. That bug had all the information I possibly could provide. The
issue only occurs during the configure script. When gst-inspect is run
manually, everything is fine. If I let the configure script go, it will
eventually consume all of my memory and CPU and result in crashing my system.

I'm not sure what happened to that bug though.

Ooops, I was searching the wrong bugzilla database for this problem.

The bug# 179698 does actually exist and is still open.

You should note that this is not a runtime bug so I'm not sure how to get a
backtrace out of a configure script. Refer to the other bug for all the
information I know how to provide.

I just hit this issue with the following current versions, mostly ~

libvisual-0.4.0-r1
libvisual-plugins-0.4.0-r1
gst-plugins-libvisual-0.10.15
gstreamer-0.10.15
totem-2.20.1-r1

1) totem failed for me with the error in the original bug post below, however,
removing gst-plugins-libvisual allows totem to build (because gst-inspect-0.10
then works without the segfault error).  Note that everything looks correct as
far as the relevant libraries (eg, libvisual-0.4.so, libgstbase-0.10.so.0,
libgstlibvisual.so, etc) even after removing the older gstreamer-0.8 stuff
which had some missing symbols.

2) Removing the above to make the totem build happy didn't actually fix the
problem, since visualization stuff (eg, the amarok bug) was still broken.  The
cause of the problem seems to be the actor_nastyfft plugin in libvisual-plugins
as reported in this thread:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-603212-highlight-libgstlibvisual.html

After removing the above nastyfft libs, everything else appears to work fine,
and after re-installing the gst-plugins-libvisual stuff, gst-inspect-0.10 -a
gives no errors, and completes successfully with:

Total count: 120 plugins, 629 features

and totem builds just fine.  More importantly, the visualization stuff appears
to all be working again, at least as many as worked before.

So, the problem reported by gst-inspect appears to be caused by the aptly-named
nastyfft actor plugin in libvisual-plugins; someone should make an ebuild that
removes this plugin, unless we can find the source of the nastiness...

disabling nastyfft plugin, esp. without revbump, is not a fix.
I've fixed it in -r2...
I would greatly have appreciated to see sound@ in cc here, or a comment on bug
#201867

I don't get the segfault that everyone else does with gst-inspect... it goes
through correctly even with libvisual, but I still get errors about playbin
when emerging Totem.

Any ideas?

Same here. I never knew how to report this, so I just kept quiet. I run several
Gentoo Boxes but this problem shows only on one AMD Athlon 64 running 32bit
Linux. 

If I run 'top' at the same time as 'emerge totem' I see gst-inspect-0.10 eating
all CPU and memory and after a few seconds showing up 'gconfd-2', eating even
more memory and CPU. If I interrupt emerge early enough, gst-inspect-0.10 gets
killed and everything is fine again, but later gconfd-2 (running as root)
remains running.

Is there any chance to debug this configure-script? What would be interesting?
