Bug 344635 – media-sound/quodlibet-2.2.1 fails to start; segmentation fault

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Alex Barbieri 2010-11-08 05:37:52 UTC]

After a recent update this week, quodlibet no longer starts. Exfalso continues to work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an up-to-date ~arch system
2. Run quodlibet
3.

Actual Results:  
quodlibet segfaults, without opening any window.

Expected Results:  
No segfault.

If I run it in a terminal, I get this:
$ quodlibet

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)

  "enabling legacy plugin API", DeprecationWarning)
Segmentation fault
************

I tried re-emerging quodlibet and any dependencies I could think of, including glib, gst-python, pygtk, gtk+, gstreamer, pycairo, and pygobject. No change in failure.

I downloaded the official 2.2.1 tarball from the quodlibet site and ran the test suite - it segfaulted on the first test in the TSongsMenu group after also failing the first test in TFilterCheckButton. I can provide further details on request.

I also tried deleting the .quodlibet directory - no change in failure.

[Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-11-08 08:37:28 UTC]

Try downgrading pygobject back to 2.20.0-r1
