Please try reproduce with xine-ui, to exclude that the problem is with Totem itself. Also, try to get a backtrace for it: - add to your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS the flag "-ggdb"; - rebuild xine-lib and totem/xine-ui; - open a console and run the command "ulimit -c unlimited"; - run in that console totem/xine-ui with the path of a file which makes them crash; - it will tell you the core was dumped, look in your directory for a file named "core" or "core.123456" (the digits are the PID of the dead program); - now run the command "gdb `which xine` --core core" (replace xine with totem if you're trying with totem, and core with core.123456 if it was generated with the PID); - in gdb, run the command "thread apply all bt full", and save the output on file; - attach the file here. If the output of the gdb command is too long to be simple to grab, use this command instead: gdb `which xine` --core core --batch --quiet -ex "thread apply all bt full" -ex "quit" > xine-backtrace.txt The problem appears to be with totem (xine-ui doesn't crash), however, no core dump was given so I was unable to follow your instructions past point 4, despite my following them exactly. That said, some console output was generated which may be of interest. Created attachment 85442 [details]
Totem console output
Oops! I just noticed there were 'debug' USE flags for both xine and totem which I didn't enable. My bad. I'll try again. Sorry. Ok, after having enabled the debug USE flags and following your instructions to point #4, totem crashes on launch and still no core dump is generated. Some slightly different console output is generated, which I will attach (Totem console output 2.txt). Created attachment 85445 [details]
Totem console output 2
The debug useflag to xine is not useful to actually test a crash situation, as it enables assertions that might be simple FIXMEs on normal usage. Anyway, if xine-ui works, the problem is with totem. I have found a work-around. Disabling 'show visual effects when an audio file is played' in Totem's preferences seems to prevent the crashes. close this bug per previous comments. Lots of things have changed until now. If you still reproduce with totem 2.16 please reopen. |
