Comment 1 Damien Sandras 2007-04-14 20:12:29 UTC

What camera are you using ?

It crashes in pwlib when converting from YUV420P to RGB. So I doubt it just crashes when starting Ekiga, it crashes when displaying images from your camera.

Comment 2 Snark 2007-04-15 06:50:00 UTC

I ekiga is configured for video preview, crash-on-preview is crash-on-exit.

If you run the following command in a terminal, it will disable video preview :
gconftool-2 --set /apps/ekiga-snapshot/devices/video/enable_preview --type bool 0

If it's a crash-on-preview, ekiga should now start. And clicking to enable video preview should crash.

Please report if it's really that.

Comment 3 rbachl 2007-04-15 08:12:56 UTC

I am using a Creative Live! Cam Optia with the linux_uvc driver.
Maybe this is still the same error as described in bug #421187?
Unfortunately, I was not yet able to provide more feedback there
(Luc wanted me to compile with the DEBUG=1 option) and I currently
also cannot check whether it works with preview disabled, until I am
back home in a week from now.

Comment 4 Damien Sandras 2007-04-15 09:14:46 UTC

Ah yes, it is indeed a DUP (I can see that from the backtrace).

Marking as DUP, please try providing the required info to Luc.

Comment 5 rbachl 2007-05-02 07:14:48 UTC

gconftool-2 --set /apps/ekiga-snapshot/devices/video/enable_preview --type bool
0

did not resolve the crash at startup, it seems not to be a crash-on-preview.
