This is a tracking bug for the known 1.7.0 segfault issue that is under investigation. Feel free to post details if you run into this issue.
My testing: summary - it works (just) for me ============= what i did =========== - I synced yesterday and emerged to full actual system - in bug #232009 I wrote, how I 'hacked' ebuild and got working client - now I synced again, emerged new version of Python, added "sound music" to USE flags, then emerged new version of EL (see below) - runned el under normal user (the 'hacked' version asked for lang, so no ask at this point. The black rectangle is Setting button, now it is ok as i have new data) - all worked as expected (with my integrated graphic card) - sorry to not be help with segfaults, at least this is proof, that it can be runned somewhere somehow under some conditions (limited card, all devel libs, ...) without crash ====== what i got ============= # emerge -pvDubN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies... done!

Ok, patched in -r1. This doesn't really fix all of upstream's issues - but instead of crashing while trying to log an incomplete error message it just logs the incomplete error message. I suspect that the error that causes the crash is only triggered in particular circumstances by the sound module.
