Description Ronald Bultje 2004-02-26 19:47:43 UTC 
gst-launch videotestsrc ! xvimagesink
RUNNING pipeline ...
Segmentation fault

gdb is very useful:

(gdb) r videotestsrc ! xvimagesink
Starting program:
/home/rbultje/projects/gstreamer/gstreamer/tools/.libs/lt-gst-launch
videotestsrc ! xvimagesink
[New Thread 16384 (LWP 13490)]
Cannot find user-level thread for LWP 13490: generic error
(gdb)

And gdb refuses any further action.

Assuming this works for you, might this be related to my RGB/Xv thing?
Comment 1 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2004-03-04 14:53:47 UTC 
Next time use gst-launch-0.7 in gdb.

gst-launch is just a wrapper that spawns the correct version and 
then finishes itself leading to a *fatality* in gdb.
Comment 2 David Schleef 2004-03-31 05:29:39 UTC 
This is a bug in gdb.
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2004-03-31 15:13:14 UTC 
It crashes outside of gdb too, dear... Again, RGB/Xv is probably the cause, it's
crashed on me before.
Comment 4 Julien MOUTTE 2004-04-07 21:00:22 UTC 
One day we have to seat together for an hour so that i can fix this :)
Comment 5 Thomas Vander Stichele 2004-07-21 08:23:12 UTC 
ronald, please try again, running gdb on gst-launch-0.8 instead of the wrapper,
and file the backtrace.
Comment 6 Ronald Bultje 2004-07-22 22:19:31 UTC 
Cannot reproduce anymore.
