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:

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?

(In reply to comment #22)

I've encountered the same error, although my situation might be a bit different
- I'm running Gentoo on an AMD64 in a 32-bit environment. 

Inspecting configure, and substituting variables, the failed command is 

gst-inspect-0.10 playbin

When I run this command manually, I get 

*** glibc detected *** gst-inspect-0.10: malloc(): memory corruption:
0x08059ce0 ***
Aborted

That's as far as I've gotten with debug information. I've run the same command
on a 32-bit machine and it runs fine. 

Since I use my AMD64 machine primarily as a binary package builder / repository
for i686, I'm just going to build the package on my 32-bit machine and copy it
over to satisfy the dependency.

I'm also ruunning into this problem.

Gentoo 2008.0 with kernel 2.6.27-r8 on Intel x86
I am trying to upgrade totem 2.22.2-r1 to 2.24.3 as attempted in my usual
upgrade.
I cannot do a full emerge --sync until this is resolved.

I have gst-plugins-base 0.10.20 and I have tried to re-emerge it.
I also have gstreamer 0.10.20 and I have tried to re-emerge it.

Neither helped.

I am now going to upload the 3 files the output tells me to.

I've seen cases where totem (or other apps doing checks for plugins in
configure) would fail to install because of a warning being raised when running
gst-inspect as root.

Can you run gst-inspect as root as follow:
G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings gst-inspect-0.10

If it raises a warning and fails, that would be the source of the problem.

Being new to Gentoo and somewhat new to Linux I ran a Terminal as root and
entered the following:
G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings gst-inspect-0.10

The output was this:
process 4403: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read
machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or
directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Error initializing: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal

well... there's the reason of the failure :)

Now... WHAT ON EARTH is requiring dbus when loading the registry...

Could you run the following (as root again) and attach log.bz2 to this bug ?

$ GST_DEBUG=3,*REG*:5 G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings gst-inspect-0.10 > log 2>&1
$ bzip2 log

Created an attachment (id=186507) [details]
Log file as requested

Created an attachment (id=186508) [details]
Reattaching as bziped file.

According to the log, it seems to be caused when libgstgnomevfs.so is loaded
(the gnomevfs gst plugin).

Most likely the calls that plugin makes into gnomevfs requires dbus to be
started (or something like that).

Maybe it needs to be able to write some stuff somewhere and since it can't
(being in a sandbox) it fails ?

What can I do?

Do I unmerge gst-plugins-gnomevfs?
** I tried this.  unmerge couldn't find it.

Do I emerge this playbin?
** Tried this also but emerge couldn't find playbin.

Also tried re-emerging gst-plugins-gnomevfs hoping it would detect everything
prorply and reinstall it.  But totem still fails with the same errors.

What can be done?

Keep in mind that I'm using KDE for the most part.

I only emerged gnome to mess around with it.  If it clears this up I can remove
Gnome but would preffer to reinstall it at that point.

My installation came with neither Gnome or KDE.  So I first emerged and used
KDE then from within KDE I emerged Gnome to mess around it.

Let me know if any of this helps.

the gnomevfs and playbin plugins are provided by gst-plugins-base.

And I just thought about something... do you have a system dbus running ?
That's maybe why gnomevfs registration is failing (which if it is, *IS* a bug
and should be fixed upstream).

How do I tell if I have a system dbus running ?

On Gentoo: /etc/init.d/dbus status

I ran into this very same problem today after my raid reverted to a previous
snapshot taken months ago.  After running the usual emerge -uD world process, I
found this identical error.  I tried all the various suggestions posted in this
thread - to no avail.

Until I saw the comment about dbus.  I did the same status command I posted
above and learned that dbus wasn't running on this new installation.  After
starting dbus through the initialization script, totem began to compile
normally.  

It is a good suggestion to verify dbus status in an automated fashion during
build (or start it, presumably) - since there's no way that the error message
'obviously' points to the culprit.

(In reply to comment #39)
i just ran into the same problem trying to compile totem in a chroot (switching
to amd64 inside a chroot under ubuntu64), where dbus wasn't running as well.

somehow it irritates me that for emerging a package i need to have dbus
running...

Try to do this:

dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

At least you'll get dbus running
