gst-register produces segmentation fault
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Hi team! Trying to build garnome 19.3 on RH 8.0 crashes when trying to run gst-register. Same thing happens when running gst-register at root. =================================================================== [jwilliams@localhost gnome-desktop]$ gst-register INFO (18502: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.4.2 INFO (18502: 0) CPU features: (c1c3f9ff) MMX SSE 3DNOW MMXEXT rebuilding global_registry added plugin sdlvideosink with 1 feature(s) added plugin snapshot with 1 feature(s) added plugin cdplayer with 1 feature(s) added plugin wavenc with 1 feature(s) added plugin videotestsrc with 1 feature(s) added plugin videocrop with 1 feature(s) added plugin smpte with 1 feature(s) added plugin gstvideo with 0 feature(s) added plugin gstoptomegascheduler with 1 feature(s) added plugin gstfastwingoscheduler with 1 feature(s) added plugin gstfastomegascheduler with 1 feature(s) added plugin gstbasicwingoscheduler with 1 feature(s) added plugin gstbasicomegascheduler with 1 feature(s) added plugin lame with 1 feature(s) added plugin mikmod with 2 feature(s) added plugin mad with 1 feature(s) added plugin jpeg with 2 feature(s) added plugin gnomevfssink with 1 feature(s) added plugin gnomevfssrc with 1 feature(s) added plugin esdmon with 1 feature(s) added plugin esdsink with 1 feature(s) Segmentation fault =================================================================== any clues? What other clues do I need to provide? TIA John
GStreamer folk will likely appreciate a stack trace - for information on how to capture stack traces, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi
It would probably be helpful if you could provide an attachment with the output from "gst-register --gst-mask=-1".
OK. Someone mailed me and suggested that I delete the contents of ~/garnome/lib/gst/ --- I did this, remade gstreamer, gst-register, gst-editor and gst-plugins. Now ~/garnome/lib/gst/ remains empty and gst-player and gst-editor segfault. Running gst-register gives ================================================================== [jwilliams@localhost gst-plugins]$ gst-register INFO (23386: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.4.2 INFO (23386: 0) CPU features: (c1c3f9ff) MMX SSE 3DNOW MMXEXT rebuilding global_registry rebuilding user_registry loaded 0 plugins with 0 features [jwilliams@localhost gst-plugins]$ ================================================================== Is that the info you need?
do you have an old install of gstreamer somewhere outside garnome? I would think the segfault is caused by gstreamer picking up some files or similar from somewhere outside garnome env
Ok, I am sure this bug is caused by having multiple installs of gstreamer, one in garnome and one elsehwere. Alternativly so did you have a plugin in the garnome /garnome/lib/gst/ directory that was from an earlier release. Since you deleted all plugins in the garnome directory now, there is no way for gstreamer to work. Closing this bug.
