Created attachment 44809 [details] Output from "strace xmms" Here is the output from "strace xmms", if that helps.
did youu upgrade from a previous release? If so, please re-emerge all your plugins and try again...
I probably did (this happened some time ago). I re-emerged all plugins I could find (did an emerge -s xmms), but that did not help. Here are the ones I found: xmms-alarm (0.3.6) xmms-arts (0.7.1-r1) xmms-extra (0.1) xmms-find (0.5.2) xmms-gdancer (0.4.6) xmms-imms (1.2a) xmms-infopipe (1.3) xmms-itouch (0.1.2-r1) xmms-jack (0.10) xmms-kde (3.1_beta1) xmms-mad (0.5.6-r1) xmms-midi (0.03) xmms-volnorm (0.8.1) I re-emerged them one by one, but it still segfaults. Also tried re-emerging xmms itself, that didn't help either.
try this... grep /usr/lib/xmms /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq that should show you all the packages that install plugins there. Did a previous version work? can you try removing all the plugins except the ones in the media-sound/xmms package and remove your ~/.xmms directory?
Yes, it worked before (for years). Ok, did that. In addition to the others, this found media-libs/faad2-2.0-r3 media-libs/flac-1.1.1 media-plugins/alsa-xmms-0.9.12 First i tried re-emerging them. That did not help, but I found that I needed to revdep-rebuild and remove libFLAC.so.4 and libFLAC++.so.2, so I did that. I found alsa-xmms actually does not exist any more. Then I unmerged all three of them. But it still segfaults.
Also tried unmerging all the other plugins. Still segfaults.
Installed Beep Media Player (never been installed before) and now THAT crashes as well: fido@myrkskog ~ $ beep-media-player Received SIGSEGV This could be a bug in BMP. If you don't know why this happened, send a mail to us at beepmp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net [1]+ Exit 127 bmp Aborted
ok... can you try 1.2.10-r5 again just to figure out if it's xmms or not? Are other sound apps working (zinf is a good one to try... bmp isn't too stable)? Have youu recently changed alsa versions?
1.2.10-r5 seems to work ok! As to other sound applications, kaffeine and mplayer has worked the whole time. I changed from alsa 1.0.6 to 1.0.7 a couple of days ago, but this problem started long before that if I'm not totally mistaken... I upgraded from xmms-1.2.10-r7 to 1.2.10-r9 november 7th, that seems about right.
ok... Can you try changing PATCHVER="2.0" in the ebuild... this will take it back to the first change after -r7.
Ok, did that, now it segfaults.
...and so does patchlevel 0.2... am I not doing it right? I change the patchlevel in the ebuild, then I do a ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/xmms/xmms-1.2.10-r9.ebuild digest (because otherwise it will not merge), and then i do emerge =xmms-1.2.10-r9
I assume you mean 2.0, not 0.2... Can you please provide me the output of 'ldd /usr/bin/xmms' ... Also, can you try narrowing down which patch causes the problem? You can add EPATCH_EXCLUDE="<file 1> <file 2>" to the ebuild to force it to leave out patches... I wish that strace was more helpful...
What I meant was, i first tried 2.0, then 0.2, and it still segfaults. Now I've tried removing all 20 patches using the EPATCH_EXCLUDE thing (and verified during build that no patches were applied), but it still segfaults. The good thing is, I'm learning new things all along! ;)

Ok, now I'm confused... when you emerge xmms-1.2.10-r5, it works... when youu have PATCH_VER=1.0 in 1.2.10-r10, it fails? PATCH_VER=1.0 is what 1.2.10-r5 is... The ldd shows you're not using and libs in /usr/local... so that's not it either...
(I suppose you mean -r9, not -r10?) Actually, the filesize (for /usr/bin/xmms) is different: The -r9 file (with patchver 1.0) is 993992 bytes, while the -r5 file is 1010504 bytes. It seems that the patches in xmms-1.2.10-gentoo-patches-1.0.tar.bz2 are applied when merging -r5, while no patches at all are applied when merging -r9 with patchver 1.0: from -r5: ------------------------------------------- >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking xmms-1.2.10.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/xmms-1.2.10-r5/work >>> Unpacking gentoo_ice-xmms-0.2.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/xmms-1.2.10-r5/work >>> Unpacking xmms-1.2.10-gentoo-patches-1.0.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/xmms-1.2.10-r5/work * Applying xmms-1.2.10-gcc34.patch ...

Ignoring. * Applying various patches (bugfixes/updates) ... * Done with patching ------------------------------------------ And looking closely, there's an error unpacking gnomexmms.xpm (which the -r5 emerge does not try to unpack...?) Confused? You and me both! :)
yeah, I meant -r9... ok... with the PATCH_VER=1.0 in -r9, it's not applying any patches... which means you're getting vanilla xmms... that's because with 2.0, I switched over to a patchdir approach rather than applying each patch in src_unpack()... hmm... I wonder if it's something done by elibtoolize as it makes no sense that -r5 should work and vanilla fail. Can you try changing src_unpack to asrc_unpack (just rename it so it doesn't get called)? That will make it 100% vanilla xmms-1.2.10... gnomexmms.xpm is just an icon that got added sometime after 1.2.10-r5 for the .desktop file...
Ok, renamed to asrc_unpack and re-emerged. Filesize is the same and it still segfaults. Also did the same trick to the -r5 ebuild, and now that produces a file with the same size that ALSO segfaults.
unh huh... ok, let's try this... let's work with the -r5 ebuild... fix src_unpack() back, then comment out patches in the ebuild until you find the one that fixes the problem... verify that adding that patch fixes it, and removing it breaks it... Also, what is your locale?
Yep, we have a winner: Removing the sid-songpos patch breaks it. Adding it back fixes it. Where do I find out what my locale is?
You can run 'locale' on the command line, but that seems irrelevant now... sid-songpos is in 1.2.10-r9... hmm... I think this problem is resulting from an ABI change in libxmms between -r5 and -r9 because of plugins that haven't been removed. Are you sure nothing is in /usr/lib/xmms or ~/.xmms? Can you please try: mv ~/.xmms ~/.xmms.bak mv /usr/lib/xmms /usr/lib/xmms.bak emerge -v \=xmms-1.2.10-r9 (using the untouched version)
Ok, tried that. Still segfaults. Also inspected the contents of /usr/lib/xmms_bak manually. Everything in there resulted either from the previous compile of xmms itself, or from the remerge of all the plugins I did on saturday. Here is the output from 'locale', for what it's worth: LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL=
ok... this makes absa-fricken-lutely NO sense whatsoever... The thing that bothers me most is that it is breaking with vanilla, works with -r5, and breaks with -r10... that highly suggests something else is depending on some changes that were in -r5... UGG! I really don't know what to say... I'm stumped.
Don't know if this makes it more understandable, but now it actually WORKS: I had to restart (for a different reason) and when I booted it just hung when loading the snd-oss-seq (or something like that) driver. I had to go back and boot a 2.4 kernel to even get a shell. So I re-emerged alsa-driver (which according to 'emerge -s alsa-driver' was already at the latest version), and now that one wouldn't compile because I had config-snd enabled in the kernel. So I turned that off, recompiled the kernel, rebooted, re-emerged alsa-driver and then re-emerged xmms, and then it just works. Anyway, thanks for all your help! If nothing else, I learned a whole lot about ebuilds! :)
the hang is a module-init-tools bug (somewhere in bugzilla... running late, so can't find it for you) what sound card driver are you using? And, to confirm, it works with alsa-driver-1.0.7, right?
Found the bug... 72099. My sound driver is snd_emu10k1 and the alsa-driver version is 1.0.7-r1. That was also the version before I re-emerged it.
closing as the only remaining bug is in another report...
