As mentionned on bug #200735 ; I'm opening a new bug as in fact this doesn't seem related since the reporter doesn't have gst-plugins-ladspa installed. If I don't have a gstreamer registry: 0:00:03.200076547 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG GST_REGISTRY gstregistry.c:453:gst_registry_add_feature:<registry0> adding feature 0xeb86c0 (ladspa-tap-equalizer) 0:00:03.200862411 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG ladspa gstladspa.c:72:gst_ladspa_base_init: base_init 0xec5070 0:00:03.200953205 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG ladspa gstladspa.c:92:gst_ladspa_base_init: LADSPA port name: "Input" 0:00:03.201000698 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG ladspa gstladspa.c:95:gst_ladspa_base_init: GStreamer pad name: "Input" 0:00:03.201070820 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG ladspa gstladspa.c:92:gst_ladspa_base_init: LADSPA port name: "Output" 0:00:03.201118592 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG ladspa gstladspa.c:95:gst_ladspa_base_init: GStreamer pad name: "Output" 0:00:03.201187037 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG ladspa gstladspa.c:324:gst_ladspa_class_init: class_init 0xec5070 0:00:03.201290962 7077 0xafe080 DEBUG GST_REGISTRY gstregistry.c:453:gst_registry_add_feature:<registry0> adding feature 0xeb87e0 (ladspa-retroFlange) No protocol specified (gst-inspect-0.10:7077): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 0:00:03.477832099 7076 0xafe080 DEBUG GST_INIT gst.c:848:ensure_current_registry_forking: parent waiting on child 0:00:03.477930437 7076 0xafe080 DEBUG GST_INIT gst.c:850:ensure_current_registry_forking: parent done waiting on child 0:00:03.477947758 7076 0xafe080 ERROR GST_INIT gst.c:853:ensure_current_registry_forking: child did not exit normally, terminated by signal Error initializing: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal If I uninstall gst-plugins-ladspa then it is fine, it creates the registry as expected and also allows me to compile totem (otherwise it dies at configure). retroFlange seems to be the ladspa plugin causing the troubles to gst: media-plugins/swh-plugins-0.4.15 (/usr/lib64/ladspa/retro_flange_1208.so)
Is this still an issue with gst-plugins-ladspa-0.10.19 (or even older)? They reworked some plugin_init stuff in 0.10.19 for ladspa, and the whole plugin scanning process earlier in gstreamer core (separate helper process, etc)
Please reopen with information requested by Mart.
