Bug 32918 – mplayer-1.0pre2 segfault

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Yi Quang (RETIRED) 2003-11-06 16:49:57 UTC]

Using gcc-3.3.2-r2, glibc-2.3.2-r8+nptl, linux-2.6.0-test9.  mplayer segfaults 
on start, I've recompiled several times, even without mplayers auto generated 
CFLAGS.  It is also impossible to debug for some reason, I downloaded the 
source, compiled with -g (--enable-debug=[1-3]), but gdb does not give me any 
useful information.  Anyone?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Works fine here (don't it always :( ), pretty much same setup.  Please supply
'emerge info'.

Can you try with a non-mm kernel ?  I have some wierd issues with the ati-drivers
and -mm patches, and seen a few issues on LKML.

[Comment 4 khai 2003-11-09 18:59:53 UTC]

Same deal with test9 vanilla.  

[Comment 5 khai 2003-11-09 19:58:22 UTC]

gah, I've spend way too much time on mplayer.  Anyway, I found the problem,
it's with libGLcore.  If I compile with --disable-gl, mplayer works fine.
 Now, how do I fix nvidia-kernel? :)

[Comment 6 Yi Quang (RETIRED) 2003-12-20 10:37:07 UTC]

Hurmm...the same thing happens with mplayer-1.0pre3.  Compiling it with -opengl works fine, can anyone confirm this problem?  

[Comment 7 symbiote 2003-12-26 19:59:44 UTC]

I'm having the same problem.

Tried versions of Mplayer, 1.0pre3, CVS, and 0.92, and same results. Immediate segfault on start.

box root # mplayer
Segmentation fault
box root #

box root # gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031201 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r4, propolice)
solace root # uname -a
Linux solace 2.6.0-mm1 #1 Sat Dec 27 03:17:16 PHT 2003 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I've tried using vanilla and gentoo-dev-sources, and it still spit the same result.

Did an emerge -eD mplayer which ran for 14 hours, and it still yielded the same result.

[Comment 8 symbiote 2003-12-26 20:17:10 UTC]

Okay, it got fixed by doing an:

# USE "-opengl" emerge mplayer

Would somebody explain why?

[Comment 9 Yi Quang (RETIRED) 2004-01-03 17:28:15 UTC]

nvidia driver issues...not much we can do
