This is gonna be annoying to debug... vlc has checks for Xlib's thread initialisation. XInitThread funtion shall be the first Xlib function called within vlc's process because vlc is multithreaded. Some libraries (like old versions of pulseaudio) which are not multithreaded call Xlib's functions without calling XInitThread. In its pulseaudio support, vlc calls XInitThread before going in pulseaudio stuff for example. Now, the error you're seeing is exactly this, but for a yet undetermined library. Could you try to trace the function/library calls of your failing vlc process please? Setting a breakpoint on some common Xlib function within gdb can help too. CCing x11@, maybe they can help.

Vlc strace
Here's vlc strace. Hope this helps
well, at least i cannot interpret the output of this trace :) maybe better: $ gdb vlc (gdb) b XOpenDisplay (gdb) run Breakpoint 1, XOpenDisplay (display=0x0) at /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/OpenDis.c:66 66 /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/OpenDis.c: No such file or directory. in /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/OpenDis.c (gdb) bt #0 XOpenDisplay (display=0x0) at /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/OpenDis.c:66 #1 0x00007fffefcffda7 in Open (p_this=0x6cd698, isDialogProvider=false) at qt4.cpp:345 Now I see that XOpenDisplay has been called by Open in qt4.cpp, thus from the qt4 interface of vlc. Ok, but : (gdb) b XOpenDisplay Function "XOpenDisplay" not defined. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) When saying yes :
Breakpoint 1 (XOpenDisplay) pending.
(gdb) run

thanks, this should be fixed in 1.1.12-r1. please tell me if the problem disapears (if it does not, please attach a new backtrace :) ) It works ! You're my hero ! But what was the problem ( and the fix ) ? (In reply to comment #9) > It works ! You're my hero ! > But what was the problem ( and the fix ) ? the xosd plugin was opened first and didnt initialise multithreading support in libX11 while using it, later, when vlc would try to initialise it (because it requires it since its multithreaded), it wouldnt work correctly and lead to crashes. vlc developpers implemented a check for this and vlc aborts if it detects things happened like that, which check is what you hit. |
