I installed pidgin 2 beta 7 from portage today and used pidgin for a while without any trouble. Now i have a lot of problems when i chat on yahoo using pidgin. It crashes randomly when the other user types certain text or when i type certain texts and press enter. ;---------------crash output------------------------------------------ yahoo: yahoo_html_to_codes: Returning string: 'if ur status is away, it doesnt crash :P'. yahoo: 40 bytes to read, rxlen is 60 yahoo: Yahoo Service: 0x06 Status: 4 yahoo: Key: 5 Value: arijit1985 yahoo: Key: 10 Value: 99 yahoo: Key: 19 Value: -1615396462 yahoo: yahoo_html_to_codes: Returning string: 'exatt'. yahoo: yahoo_html_to_codes: Returning string: 'nothin ow'. *** glibc detected *** pidgin: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xb4d00538 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0xb755bbab] /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_free+0x30)[0xb7703332] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_get_default_language+0x5b)[0xb7a3c617] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_text_attributes_new+0x2c)[0xb7ae3549] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_text_iter_editable+0x20)[0xb7ad9ae9] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_text_iter_can_insert+0x2a)[0xb7adbf02] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb7af431b] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb7a40f02] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0[0xb7777525] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_closure_invoke+0x205)[0xb7778d6a] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0[0xb7788d51] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_signal_emit_valist+0x689)[0xb77899c0] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_signal_emit+0x29)[0xb7789db2] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb7b42ed0] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_window_propagate_key_event+0x107)[0xb7b52166] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb7b52198] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb7a40f02] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0[0xb7777525] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_closure_invoke+0x126)[0xb7778c8b] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0[0xb7788d51] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_signal_emit_valist+0x689)[0xb77899c0] /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_signal_emit+0x29)[0xb7789db2] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb7b42ed0] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_propagate_event+0x1b0)[0xb7a3afe4] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_main_do_event+0x2e4)[0xb7a3bfd2] /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0[0xb78df1eb] /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_dispatch+0x196)[0xb76fcc8a] /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0[0xb76fd4c5] /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_loop_run+0x1a7)[0xb76fd865] /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0(gtk_main+0xb4)[0xb7a3c42c] pidgin(main+0x528)[0x80ad8a1] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xb7510864] pidgin(gtk_widget_grab_focus+0x35)[0x8068271] ======= Memory map: ======== 08048000-080e9000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 3239956 /usr/bin/pidgin 080e9000-080ec000 rw-p 000a0000 16:41 3239956 /usr/bin/pidgin 080ec000-08935000 rw-p 080ec000 00:00 0 [heap] b2d2b000-b2d2c000 ---p b2d2b000 00:00 0 b2d2c000-b352c000 rw-p b2d2c000 00:00 0 b3d2d000-b412d000 r--s 00000000 16:41 3240100 /usr/share/sounds/pidgin/send.wav b412d000-b412e000 ---p b412d000 00:00 0 b412e000-b492e000 rw-p b412e000 00:00 0 b492e000-b49eb000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 345069 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 b49eb000-b49f0000 rw-p 000bc000 16:41 345069 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 b4a13000-b4a49000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 349420 /usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 b4a49000-b4a58000 rw-p 00036000 16:41 349420 /usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 b4a58000-b4a5a000 rw-p b4a58000 00:00 0 b4a60000-b4a6b000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 346455 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstossaudio.so b4a6b000-b4a6c000 rw-p 0000a000 16:41 346455 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstossaudio.so b4a6c000-b4a7c000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 346636 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstalsa.so b4a7c000-b4a7d000 rw-p 0000f000 16:41 346636 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstalsa.so b4d00000-b4d21000 rw-p b4d00000 00:00 0 b4d21000-b4e00000 ---p b4d21000 00:00 0 b4e5d000-b4e7d000 rw-p b4e5d000 00:00 0 b4e7d000-b4e83000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 350136 /usr/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0.5.0 b4e83000-b4e84000 rw-p 00006000 16:41 350136 /usr/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.10.so.0.5.0 b4e84000-b4e98000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 349520 /usr/lib/libgstaudio-0.10.so.0.5.0 b4e98000-b4e99000 rw-p 00013000 16:41 349520 /usr/lib/libgstaudio-0.10.so.0.5.0 b4e99000-b4ea2000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 350071 /usr/lib/libgstriff-0.10.so.0.5.0 b4ea2000-b4ea3000 rw-p 00008000 16:41 350071 /usr/lib/libgstriff-0.10.so.0.5.0 b4ea3000-b4ead000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 9141 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so.1 b4ead000-b4eae000 rw-p 00009000 16:41 9141 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so.1 b4eae000-b4eb5000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 349568 /usr/lib/libgstcontroller-0.10.so.0.8.0 b4eb5000-b4eb6000 rw-p 00006000 16:41 349568 /usr/lib/libgstcontroller-0.10.so.0.8.0 b4eb6000-b4ebe000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 349970 /uAborted

Right now i am compiling pidgin without gstreamer USE flag. let me check if i get error without gstreamer
Now i am running pidgin without gstreamer USE flag. I've been desperately trying to make it crash but unsuccessful :( . Previously, it used to crash very frequently (i couldnt type more than 4 words in the chat). I am 80% sure that this bug is related to gstreamer. Only thing left is to recompile with gstreamer USE flag and check if the bug returns.
gnome boys (yes gstreamer is yours) any ideas? maybe you can try with the gstreamer patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=85275
maybe you could try compiling pidgin with -O2 instead of -O3 too and see what it does with gstreamer flag.

k. Its almost confirmed this has got somethin to do with gstreamer. Now I enabled gstreamer use flag again and found out a new way to reproduce the crash. Under preferences of gaim, within sounds tab, we can test the sound played. when i click on test approximately 2 - 4 times, (not necessarily with quick succession), pidgin crashes. So it has definitely got somethin to do with the sounds which play when a new message appears.
Adding gstreamer@ to CC after fixing media-libs/gstreamer to have them as the primary herd with consent from zaheerm :)
Hmmm... what does the gstreamer flag enable? I have it, but I cannot select gstreamer as an option for playing sounds.
Well, if you remove gstreamer flag, u wont get ny sound :)
Why not? There's still esd and what I use (aplay %s in the play application) As nearly as I can tell, gstreamer isn't being used at all here.
When the gstreamer flag is removed, ESD option disappears. and I'm left with console beep or a command. So essentially no sound. I used aplay %s as command on this newly compiled pidgin withoug gstreamer use flag and it isnt crashing!! And sound works as usual. Problem solved temporarily!! hurray!
Wait, they use gstreamer for esd? WTF? Okay, we should just nuke the flag... :)
Have you tried with media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.12?, seems that it fixes the problem for me :-/

(In reply to comment #21) > Have you tried with media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.12?, seems that it fixes the > problem for me :-/ > Yes. I did try with gstreamer-0.10.12. The problem has not been solved in that. Try Clicking the Test button preferences of gaim, within sounds tab a lot of times. It does crash here for me. Been using aplay %s command and its working smoothly.
Updating to pidgin-2.0.1 fixed my crashes :-)
fixed then!
