GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 159396
Crash on startup, if the last thing you played was a DVD
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
1. Put in your favorite DVD 2. Start Totem 3. Play the DVD with Totem (popcorn optional) 4. Quit Totem 5. Eject DVD 6. Start Totem again Result: Crash. ("The Application "totem" has quit unexpectedly...") This seems to be related to the fact that on startup, it looks for the last thing it was playing (ugh). The following sequence of steps gets it working again, sort of: 1. Type "totem dvd:///" in a Terminal window (I don't know where I came up with this...) 2. Totem starts, and an alert appears: "Totem could not play 'dvd:///'. The movie could not be read." 3. When you dismiss this alert window, you can then use Totem normally again. But only this one time: if you quit Totem again, you have to start it with the "totem dvd:///" trick again next time. (I thought I could get it un-stuck by playing a movie file right before quitting, but I can't get that to work now, so maybe I was just imagining it.)
Could you provide a stack trace so that we could easily catch any duplicates? (See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information). Thanks.
Created attachment 34117 [details] Stack trace I followed the "Obtaining a stack trace using just GDB" procedure on that web page. Unfortunately it doesn't look terribly useful, since I don't have debugging symbols for a lot of that stuff. (I don't have Redhat, and I don't feel like compiling my own Gnome tonight.) Hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else.
That should be enough, the crash is in libpng, and it's a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 159032 ***
