Debian Multimedia :: Pulseaudio And Gstreamer Apps Are Crashing?
Aug 18, 2010
I got a problem with gstreamer programs and pulseaudio. I am running Debian Squeeze and needed to install pulseaudio to get better bluetooth-headset support. After installing everything every application except gstreamer applications could access the sound server the right way. Even flash and sdl are running via ALSA routing to pulse.
If I start programs running with gstreamer they crash with a segmantation fault. Totem does not start anyway. If I run it in the terminal it crashes immediately with a segmantation error. The debug mode prints out $ totem --debug
(totem:3450): Totem-DEBUG: Received SaveYourself(SmSaveLocal, !Shutdown, SmInteractStyleNone, !Fast) in state idle
(totem:3450): Totem-DEBUG: Setting initial properties
[Code]....
I have installed the gstreamer plugin for pulseaudio and the gstreamer-plugins-good and bad. I started gstreamer-properties and choosed the right output driver. When testing the peep comes out of the right output.
Via google I founded some bugs, that were similiar to mine. But they had made the mistake not to install the plugins. I also can not choose ALSA in gstreamer and do the routing way. The programs using gstreamer simply crashing. I tried exaile. It also crashes the same way like rhythmbox. Is it a real bug? Or can I do something against that. VLC and kaffeine running very well. But I would be sad about not being able to use rhythmbox. I like that fast program. Or is there a way to get rhythmbox tto not using gstreamer?
No time at the moment to quantify (can do later), but after months of reasonably stable audio work under kernel 26.32-24, I finally updated to 25 and jack apps are crashing left and right.

It seems starting up gives a ton of errors I can't really isolate. The above boot errors are in no order. I just pasted them all together.
What happens is randomly when Im browsing through videos on ....., it crashes back to the login screen. Im guessing this has something to do with Opera's plugin/Sound/Pulse Audio.
After a fresh custom install of Squeeze I could not play any video. debian-multimedia.org repository is in my sources.list. Trying to play an AVI video with totem I get the message
I have this weird problem. some of the apps like gnome-system-monitor, gnome-power-preferences, nm-applet(when clicked on edit connections) keep crashing.
the moment I log in into my gnome desktop, all the apps work fine for a minute. the problem starts after a while say 5 mins... I will not be able to run any of these apps. I always get the crash window.
Iam using fedora 11 on a toshiba satellite m200. this problem has been there for a long time now. initially I thought that software updates will make it ok. but even after several updates, the apps keep crashing.
is there a way to fix this?. everytime I need to access them, I need to logout and login and then acces them quickly before they start to crash. this is quite time consuming and irritating.
my problems, on a frsh install of 64 bit ubuntu. Firefox crashes every time i right click my mouse on the firefox browser (i use opera, no bigge but that shouldnt happen). Secound Life repeatedly crashes, regardless of where i get the client from (playdeb repos, omvviewer repos, from the main website). Anything open GL cause odd flickers across my screen. I have re burnt and re installed a few times and always the same thing.

Not sure how to mark solved, problem was to do with MiT settings on motherboard.
I am using a couple of Debian Distro (Sid and Lenny) add some Ubuntu into the mix. I made the switch because I was amazed and satisfied with Debian --> once installed, everything works. For me that's okay for o so many years now. I don't question a lot because it just works and I do my job on it satisfactorily. Namely programming the LAMP style programming. Lately I have been using Debian to communicate over the internet -- using Skype and Pidgin and other such things, not to mention listening to music, watching movies, just using the default applications when I originally install Debian.
Along the way, I need to configure something -- that is desktop related -- like the screen resolution of a new LCD monitor replacing the old one and such. Now about my sound -- I'm not touching it because it is working. But that is not the case always. Now I have a constant error -- it is irritating. Rhythmbox don't make a sound always when I have open a web browser (iceweasel, chrome, epiphany) and a site with multimedia object on it -- like a video or something. So how do I correct this? How do I know, too what I am using -- ALSA or Pulseaudio?
All of a sudden my gnome theme changed and various apps including thunderbird and firefox started crashing. I've traced the first occurrence back to the following errors, starting with a segmentation fault in canberra-gtk-pl in kern.log:
I have a problem on a fresh install of Jessie with KDE. I have three soundcards. In Wheezy I used pavucontrol once for each application to change the sink from the internal to the external soundcard, and that setting would stick each time I rebooted the system (audio would go on the external soundcard). Now each time I reboot the audio gets routed to the internal soundcard and I have to use pavucontrol each time to route the audio back to the external one. URL...
and none of them has worked. I don't know if it's a related issue, but the settings I choose in the for Phonon in the KDE multimedia settings don't stick either. I select the external soundcard as default device and upon reboot the internal one is on top on the preferences list.
I've noticed in pulseaudio have many options to make my sound discoverable via upnp/dlna server. I've got a ps3 and a Pinnacle Soundbridge, suitable for this protocol and working fine with mt-daapd or ushare.But I would like to use mplayer and making the sound available to my devices. I've activated the options in Pulseaudio (paprefs) but can't play music in my client device and I can't see the server in the lan.this is my config:sound Preferences
I'm having a problem with Pulseaudio for quite some time, I already made some topics about it. But still no solution. The thing is, I can't use my keyboard volume control, it's only manipulating my ALSA configuration. Not my main Pulseaudio volume. Here is some information about my sound card:
$ pacmd list-cards Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information. >>> 3 card(s) available. index: 0 name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0> driver: <module-alsa-card.c> owner module: 4 [Code].....
This is Debian 8. Pulseaudio uses 44100hz by default, with 48000hz as the 'alternate sample rate'. The hda sound driver on this (and seems most) audio hardware supports 44100, 48000, 96000 and 192000 sample rates. Anything else, pulseaudio resamples it. High quality resampling settings use more cpu resources, so it's best to use one of the supported sample rates, when possible. This is done by default for 44100 and 48000, but if you want to use 96000, for example, you have to set it in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf as "alternate-sample-rate = 96000". But this causes 48000 audio to be resampled.
44100 and 48000 defaults make sense since this is the majority of audio content these days, but I do have some 96000hz audio. I know there were reasons why it was limited to one alternate, but I could get around the issues. So, is there a way to configure more than one alternate sample rate for pulse audio?
I am running the testing version and am fully up to date. When I try to run evolution, I get the following errors in a terminal. When I launch it normally, I don't see any messages, it just never loads. $ evolution code...
What can I do to debug this and get it working again?
Because I am unable to get "report-bug" to run without crashing, I would like to report a bug in "lxterminal" on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) running the 486 kernel.When the lxterminal Preferences are changed, they are not saved afterwards (once the application is exited.) I have to change the font size each time, as the default lxterminal screen opens up too small to read.
I'm having a problem all the sudden with amixer. set Master 5% used to control the pulse audio master volume. Suddenly, it will only raise and lower the headphone volume. Pulseaudio works, but I no longer have a master volume at all.
I have recently acquired a Lenovo Q150 machine and attempting to use it as a HTPC. I've been reading that with this platform a newer kernel is required to make wireless, sound and a few other tweaks work correctly--so I bumped up to testing repositories to upgrade to the 2.6.38 kernel.[URL]...
The audio on this device has been more than a pain. I'm currently using XBMC to play media on this device and after setting the outputs to custom: plughw:1,9 sound is played correctly. I found this out by using alsamixer, selecting the sound card with the F6 key (Nvidia 1) unmutting all outputs, quiting, and running speaker-test -D plughw:1,X where X is the sub-device from the output of aplay -l until sound could be heard from the receiver.
Now my problem is that applications like mplayer, and iceweasel won't output any sound. I'd prefer not to use the optical out on the device and would like to send sound over HDMI. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work as it should?
I've also installed pulseaudio, not too sure if this is really needed. I've also used module assistant before upgrading to compile alsa from source, it worked but i just decided to upgrade the kernel instead of dealing with m-a every time an update comes through.

Evolution keeps crashing everytime I send mail. I am also constantly asked for my keyring or email passwords. I checked the log and found this error message.
This message was in a bug report from 2013 that seems to be closed.: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=730256

synaptic package manager says my evolution and keyring are the latest.
Iceweasel and Icedove spontaneously crash, sometimes individually, sometimes together. Upon restart they will both run, but the amount of time they run before crashing again decreases with each crash. The way to extend use of these programs is to reboot Debian. (I typically run my computer 24/7 to run community service programs.)
How do I get these programs to run without spontaneously crashing?
Running it from a terminal, every few minutes this happens:(evolution:25607): libsoup-CRITICAL **: set_ current_request: assertion `priv->cur_req == NULL' failed Segmentation fault..Found lots of cases that mention Gentoo (and Evolution 2.4) and this bug, but nothing with Debian. Bug is apparently due to the version of libsoup that Evolution is compiled against.Install is relatively fresh; about a day old. Packages are the latest updates.
I have been able to play multiple games on Steam without any issues, however I have downloaded Ark: Survival Evolved and am unable to actually play that game in particular. I can log in and get to a point of choosing a server, but after it actually loads to the game(where it starts rendering graphics), the game crashes to the desktop. Below is the readout of the crash from when I loaded Steam via Terminal.
Code: Select all Signal 11 caught. ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/lukasz/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/lukasz/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
[Code] ....
I have noticed that the above (zenity:13343): Gtk-WARNING line in terminal is the point at which the game crashes. It would appear that the steam gameoverlayrenderer.so is a separate issue and may be a common occurence in the background that you just don't see.(?)
Things that I have done thus far:
-Verified that the video card is good -Tried Open-source graphics drivers -Currently using the AMD 15.9 Proprietary Drivers directly from AMD with Catalyst Control Center. -Reinstalled "zenity" to ensure that it was not corrupted. -Verified which Gtk+ versions that I have installed(see below)
Code: Select all lukasz@Lukasz-Desktop:~$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 gtk+-3.0 2.24.25 3.14.5
Is there a "default" gtk+ version that I have to alter for it to recognize that I have Gtk+ 3.0 installed, or did I miss something somewhere?
My hypothesis:
-It has something to do with 32-bit/64-bit conflictions(Maybe the game? My steam is 64-bit) -My graphics card may not be supported by Ark: Survival Evolved yet. -I am missing some libraries each time I have attempted different video drivers. -Something with steam did not get installed correctly(I have not attempted to uninstall and reinstall it, however other games function correctly)
Iceweasel, Konqueror, makes no difference. Embedded flash videos make them crash every time. I had to install Flash Control on Iceweasel just to make it usable.

The kicker is I can't recall ever installing flash support in the first place.
I'm bitterly regretting the upgrade to 8.2. It's just one damn thing after another.
I'm having a problem getting a winTV card working. Looks like the card installs correctly and I know the card works ok. I get "no device" when trying to use TV apps (kdetv, tvtime, xawtv). They look for the device at video0 but mine gets configured as video1. How can I change that? I have tried using ivtv-ctl -d /dev/video1 to change the device but that didn't help.
Qt apps like vlc, kolourpaint, qbittorrent are missing the windows controls like menus. Smplayer crash on opening a video(any format). I'm using mate with marco wm, I also tried openbox but is the same.
All qt4 apps tray icons are missing. Debian decided to drop sni-qt support and wmsystemtray is actually piece of shit. Also I can't even use ubuntu version of sni-qt, because it also needs to have patched version of qt4, but debian refused to include that patches. What should I do to make skype icon visible in kde5 tray?
I'm running Debian Lenny with GNOME on a ThinkPad T43. Some OpenGL apps like the game Trigger run great, while others like Stellarium crash my system beyond recovery. I get a black screen, I can see the mouse cursor and move it at a very slow speed, but nothing else. I can't switch to a different terminal or restart X with ctrl-alt-bksp.
I assume that the problematic apps do not like the laptop's integrated graphics chip? Is there a way to know ahead of time what apps might be troublesome, before actually running them? I hate hard resets.
Just for the fun and learning experience I am working on a minimal install with Squeeze +IceWM. The goal is to make a livecd with a set of privacy apps - like Iceweasel with Tor/privoxy and some encryption tools. Everything is working out just fine, but I thought it would be very nice to have an installer. I read about the refractainstaller and refractasnapshot in this post, and thought they sound like a good solution: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=54635#p315738 However, the links seem to be dead and so were all the mirrors I tried. Does anyone know where these files can be found or any other easy way I can make Debian installable from a livecd?
