Bug 136291 – VLC Segfaults after upgrade to Modular X

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Luke Imhoff 2006-06-10 08:32:23 UTC]

I upgraded to modular X (7.0-r1).  Many programs didn't work right away, so I figured I just missed packages affected by the change so I did emerge -e world. Most programs work now, but VLC does not.  It segfaults in the main thread before anything appears on screen. I've included the stack trace from gdb below:

[Comment 1 Andreas Arens 2006-06-10 14:57:40 UTC]

I see the same happening with "avidemux2", also dieing somewhere down the road in gtk_disable_setlocale(). Debugging is not easy as the app is heavily multithreaded.
I first suspected that to a glibc upgrade (2.3.6 to 2.4), but I'm not certain whether or not one of the later gnome updates to 2.14 may have caused it. I can't remember when it worked last. (the effected system is pretty vanilla ~amd64 2006.0).

[Comment 2 Luke Imhoff 2006-06-10 23:11:32 UTC]

I know it wasn't part of gnome 2.14 since I've been running that since it came out.  However, I run gnome light because I don't like a lot of the default apps for gnome, so it could be something that's in full gnome or one if it's dependencies that also hits something with modular X.  I should note that Totem still works.  I only have that installed because for some reason gedit pulls it in when I have python in my use flags.

Please also look at bug 136353. It might be related.

[Comment 4 Andreas Arens 2006-06-13 12:56:19 UTC]

can you try to emerge with USE=-sdl ?

I think that bug 135101 is the root cause of this, and this in fact is a dupe.

I rolled back to libsdl-1.2.9 and everything works now.

[Comment 6 Andreas Arens 2006-06-16 07:05:58 UTC]

That confirms it's a duplicated of 135101.

Diego, can you close this?
