Description jsirgue 2013-04-27 09:24:30 UTC
When trying to play a video, Snappy crash instantaneously with the message:
>Loading ui!
>Erreur de segmentation (core dumped

And in dmesg:
>[ 1620.316363] typefind:sink[31401]: segfault at 6c0 ip 00007fec2e958129 sp 00007fec0d268f18 error 4 in libGL.so.313.30[7fec2e928000+3f000]

This does not happen with the Nouveau driver.

Hello,

What distribution and version is this? So I can try and reproduce. It doesn't happen in Fedora 18 or debian unstable.
Comment 2 jsirgue 2013-04-28 20:11:19 UTC
Hello,
I'm using Arch Linux, and the git version of Snappy. The problem is not new, but here are the version installed on my computer:
nvidia 313.30
clutter 1.14.2
clutter-gst 2.0.2
gstreamer 1.0.7

Thanks for reporting this bug.

I will install ArchLinux in a laptop at work this week and fix this.

Getting this:
libva info: VA-API version 0.38.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_37
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

Both with snappy and totem. Both use clutter.

What does mean?
Comment 8 jsirgue 2015-07-29 12:53:29 UTC
The initial bug I reported seems to be  fixed, Snappy (Git version and 1.0) is working for me with Nvidia drivers 340 series.
I am using Arch Linux.
Comment 9 Luis de Bethencourt 2015-07-30 12:19:44 UTC
Thanks jsirgue.

I've updated the code to use clutter-gst-3.0. Can you confirm this works for you?
