Description Behdad Esfahbod 2006-02-20 02:26:55 UTC 
Every time I install gst-plugins-good from HEAD, everything crashes afterwards with:

[behdad@home gst-plugins-good]$ gst-inspect-0.10

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/home/behdad/.local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideobox.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.


Reinstalling gst-plugins-base fixes it.

I was getting a similar crash from audioresample.  Reinstalling -base (which has audioresample) would make it work once and start crashing from the second run again.  Seems like if I remove ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.i686.xml, it will run without a crash (and create that xml file again, so next time crashes.)
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-02-20 07:20:21 UTC 
Running inside gdb suggested that it's a liboil problem.  Updating to latest HEAD of liboil has fixed it so far.
Comment 3 Jan Schmidt 2006-02-20 09:25:41 UTC 
It sounds like either an internal liboil bug, or a plugin that uses liboil but doesn't call oil_init() first. In that case, it would work if some other plugin has been loaded and called oil_init() first I guess.
