Ubuntu :: 10.10: Rhythmbox Segfaults Upon Launch
Nov 2, 2010
Running Maverick Meerkat fairly close to original specs. When launching Rhythmbox from either the command line or the applications menu, the window appears briefly and closes whether or not I interact with it. During its time open (~3sec), it gives no indication that it recognizes input, i.e. menus do not open and buttons do not depress when clicked.
While running from the terminal, the following output is displayed.
Code:
(rhythmbox:2068): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
** (rhythmbox:2068): DEBUG: SyncDaemon already running, initializing SyncdaemonDaemon object

we were watching Clint Eastwood in Pink Cadillac on DVD. Earlier, I had been checking out the streaming internet radio on my roommates Mint laptop using Rhythmbox, and found it to be pretty cool. Usually, if I stream any music, it's just from the CBC (like the U.S.'s NPR), so I just stream it directly from them, but all the stations on rhythmbox (there's a whack of them) got me interested. At the start of Pink Cadillac, I proposed myself a challenge: Could I manage to get rhythmbox (a GNOME application) to work on my Slack64 -current box, before the movie ended? There's probably (maybe?) a similar app that installs and works more natively on Slack, but that's not the point; I wanted to try installing rhythmbox in < 2 hrs. Well, I got it installed finally, *just* at the end of the movie credits, but it won't play! And sometimes it segfaults. So, I wonder if anyone has any tips about what I might be missing or whatever.
Here's what I typically get when I first start it up (though it starts & runs OK):
Code:
sasha@reactor: rhythmbox
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
(rhythmbox:15745): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(rhythmbox:15745): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
[code].....
Seems even on systems with some sort of 'natural' support for installing this thing, a lot of people are getting the same or very similar errors, but I haven't found a solution (obviously - I wouldn't be posting otherwise ) but people, myself included, have discovered that there doesn't seem to be a 100% accurate list of *required* dependencies for rhythmbox; it needs stuff that it doesn't tell you it needs.
EDIT: Disclaimer (just to cut the 'dependency-hell' arguments off at the pass, so to speak): This is just a fun experiment for me. I don't suggest Slackware newbies start trying to install <xyz Gnome application> into their Slackware boxes unless you want to spend HOURS fixing stuff like this, and you want to have fun doing it, and have it maybe bork your box up. And if you *do* decide to try it anyways, don't blame Slackware for giving you dependency hell. Gnome doesn't come with Slackware (here's the ChangeLog). I like Slackware exactly the way it is - it comes with more than enough apps to satisfy most people, all nicely working out of the box, so installing stuff like this is not really necessary - but I'm choosing to do this one anyway, and am not deterred by this "mess" of stuff.If this dependency stuff isn't your 'cup of tea', an 'automatically-dependency-resolving' distro might be better for you; I prefer to mess my machine up on my own, rather than let my package manager do it for me.

how Rhythmbox creates the "Open Rhythmbox" button in the Nautilus Explorer window ?I would like to create my own button that does something else (that deals with an iPod being plugged in).

Whenever I plug my Zune in, Rhythmbox recognizes all the songs on it but when I doubleclick on a song to play it, the song doesn't play and Rhythmbox quits. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm running a Dell XPS 410 with 4GB RAM and a 1.75 GHz processor.Also, I imported a CD and it plays fine.

So MPD keeps segfaulting everytime it tries to play anything.I tried compiling a version from the MPD site, but that couldn't even see my music for some reason. Same user running MPD, same permissions on the files... I'd really like to get MPD working again, but it keeps segfaulting with this:
Code: nas kernel: [161048.253573] mpd[22957] general protection ip:b6efc1b5 sp:b53e1850 error:0 in libavcodec.so.52.20.1[b6ab4000+52b000]
I wiped my server recently because of all the custom stuff I had installed, and now MPD won't play music .

This just started today, after I installed a round of updates yesterday: I would attempt to login to my GNOME session. One of three things happens: it hangs, looking like it's authenticating, it lets me into my session but then abruptly logs me out and wrecks anything I was doing, or GDM just crashes altogether.
On tty6, I found this error in dmesg:
Code:
gdm-session-wor[1392]: segfault at 1 ip 0000000000000001 sp 00007fff57babe18 error 14 in gdm-session-worker[400000 + 17000]
The numbers may be slightly off, I had no way to copy and paste the error. I have no modifications to GDM except libpam-usb, which doesn't even work. Is it possible to roll back GDM to before the update?

I have some curious errors and crashes since yesterday. Firefox crashes without saying anything or just freezes. Thunderbird also crashed once without any reason, as far as I could discern.
Compiz is another candidate. Either it segfaults and sends me back to the GDM login screen or it crashes in another way, resulting in a flickering window with an unreadable error message (just an empty window with the nautilus icon in the menu bar, background image stays the same, Unity or any other compiz things are gone). I even had some real X segfaults mixed in.

In LMMS, pretty much any time where pressing a key or button is supposed to do something, it can crash. Regardless of what made it crash, it always dies in the exact same way: The window just disappears, and I get the line "Segmentation fault" in the console. Usually it crashes within 15 minutes of normal use. Not even 6 hours after I downloaded the program, I had given up trying to use it. Over the next week, a couple other programs crashed with segfaults.
Most of them only crashed once (among those was Firefox). So, of course, I'm now beginning to think that maybe the problem is not with LMMS, but rather with Ubuntu. I've had very little luck getting most of these programs to crash a second time, but I did find reliable ways to reproduce the crash in LMMS and Golly, so I got debug logs of those (with backtraces and steps I took to reproduce):
Code:
What I did to make LMMS Crash:
1. After starting LMMS, created an instrument track using the Oh Synth preset (under LB302)
2. Opened the tool window for the track.
3. Dragged my cursor back and forth across the keys on the virtual piano at the bottom of said window to play them.
4. Within 3 seconds, it crashed.
Starting program: /usr/bin/lmms

Code:
What I Did to make Golly Crash:

2. Alternated between Space (Next Generation) and Ctrl+Z (Undo), holding each for about 1 second.
3. Within 15 seconds, it crashed.

I've tried using different governors for CPU (Conservative, Ondemand, etc.), and these crashes continued to occur. I also tried using a different kernel to no avail; the crashes occur both on 2.6.32-21-generic and 2.6.31-17-generic. How to fix whatever's causing these segfaults.

I upgraded my processor two days ago(p4 -> C2D), and ever since then I have been getting segfaults, which are causing my programs to crash randomly. At first I thought it was isolated to one program(deluge), but after searching around I was looking at the /var/log/messages and found a bunch of segfault messages after I installaed the processor. Here is the grep from the messages file:
Code:

I installed the Adobe Font Forge fonts. They're all OpenType fonts and reside in ~/.fonts. Since around the time when I was fiddling with them, XeTeX started segfaulting whenever I used one of them. Any other font works fine. The strange thing is that I had one font already in ~/.fonts before I installed all of the new ones, which did work fine, but which now causes a segfault. The LaTeX file looks like this:
[Code]...
end{document} When I run xelatex test.tex, it segfaults and produces the log file I've attached to this post (renamed to test.txt from test.log). But, when I run xelatex with the -no-pdf switch, it produces a file test.xdv without complaining. When I then run xdvipdfmx -vv test.xdv, it segfaults and outputs to stdout what I've attached as a file error.txt. I suspect it might have something to do with system font settings that may have been changed by Fontmatrix while I was browsing my fonts, perhaps doing something that I didn't understand and messed things up. But I don't know which settings/config files/etc that may have been affected.

OS: Ubuntu Server x64 10.04 Apache: 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4 I have a virtual server which has been running for months with no problems then one day I saw that it crashed and I had to power cycle it. Since then I have been unable to start Apache as it segfaults no matter options I give it. Before I try to reinstall Apache, why is this segfaulting?
Code:

I have a new IBM x3650 that I am trying to get installed and running. However, it seems to experience random segfaulting. The system has ECC RAM and I have taken a look at the EDAC reports from the kernel, but as far as I can tell there is no error.This is a critical system I need to bring up, so I can't have it act flaky like this. Software is up to date. [URL]
Example output:

I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5. In this whenever a user process crashes due to segmentaion faults , it was not logged in /var/log/messages. Even dmesg is also not showing any messages related to this.
Where as in another distributions(Cent OS 5) I've seen segfaults messages in /var/log/messages whenever my user process crashed.dmesg also showing the segfaults.
Is there any settings that to enabled so that it logs segfaults into /var/log/messages.
I cross checked /etc/syslog.conf of both the systems. Both are same and even /etc/sysconfig/syslog files.

I googled around but most of what I could find said that segfaults are generally a memory issue. I've noticed lately that I'll occasionally get a segfault while compiling on my computer. There's no noticeable pattern, just that every now and then a bit of software that I'm trying to compile will segfault on me, even software that I've compiled in the past.
I ran memtest86+, but it showed no issues at all. I run a stock kernel on Slackware, with no modifications to the system other than installing multilib support (which I'm 100% sure is done correctly).

New install slackware64 13.0. Sites that cause it to segfault are simple ones - gmail (2 seconds after I get past the sign in stage, and before I even open any email. This one also
www.channel4.com/programmes/4od.
I have done the obvious stuff - checking for missing libs with ldd, finding them, etc. Disks are 1-2 years old (ext3) and well checked, but this install has not been lived in yet. Plugins installed are: java 1.6.0_16; Flash 10.0 r45; SVG-2.26. Kernel is 2.6.33.2, made with 'make oldconfig from a very satisfactory 2.6.30.5 kernel which was faultless for some time.
The box is all-amd/ati HP6715S, with RS690 video and northbridge, sb600 southbridge. and a twin turion 2 Ghz. It is using the recent OSS xf86-video-ati drivers. The only strange Mozilla error was between 4th and 5th crash this session when it said "Input/Output Error". Otherwise the error shows as line 131 of run-mozilla.sh - the 'finally start the binary' routine.

When I am closing yast, from time to time I get this error. Although something segfaults the system seems to behave normally and I do not experience other issues it seams. The error comes up in a small separate window. Yast stays operative. Should I be worried about something? What is the system complaining about actually?

My friend's PC recently started acting up. He had me install Sabayon on it and everything was fine until a few days ago. Every app I try to run after the PC boots results in a segmentation fault. I figured maybe something was wrong with the HDD, so I tried to boot from a DSL liveCD to run fsck, but it wouldn't boot; it freezes right away. I then tried the Sabayon LiveDVD and got a kernel panic.Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I am completely clueless; I've never had anything like this happen before.

The nagios admin interface apparently needs php (although, of course, the howto mentions nothing of the sort). So then, I copied the php.conf that had at some time been installed on the system, and then moved by me out of /etc/httpd/conf.d, back into conf.d. It's a fairly simple one:

I'm testing upgrading from 11.1 to 11.3 and running into a major roadblock. When I try to ssh to the server after upgrading, I am unable to use password or pubkey auth to connect via ssh with my ldap user due to sshd segfault. I can however connect via pubkey to a local account on the system. Both auth methods work (for local users) when I disable UsePAM in sshd_config, but auth via ldap is required. My configuration works fine on fully patched installs of both 11.1 and 11.3, but not a fully patched 11.1 upgraded to 11.3.

Running slackware-current 32bit. I use digikam-1.7.0, kipi-plugins-1.7.0, and ufraw-0.17 which are all built using the sbo scripts from 13.1 repo. All the above work fine with lensfun-0.2.3 built from sbo, but trying to update lensfun to 0.2.5 causes segfaults in digiKam and ufraw.
Anyone else seen this and is there a fix? Seems to be caused by a change in lensfun between versions, but I think it's beyond me to sort on my own. Lensfun-0.2.5 seems to build fine without errors, but I believe there were warnings with respect to makedep. Digikam and ufraw locate the lensfun libraries during the build. Ufraw segfaults on startup and digikam segfaults when the auto lens correction tool is selected from the menu. I know none of these versions are officially supported either alone or in -current,

The version of mencoder I currently have installed segfaults (immediately) when you ask it to convert x264-encoded MKVs to another format. One sample command-line would be:
Code:
mencoder -nosound -ovc libdv Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_720p_GG_-_06.mkv -o a.avi
This produces the following output:
Code:
MEncoder 20110702-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team
success: format: 0 data: 0x0 - 0x1c43987e
libavformat file format detected.
[Code]...
Incidentally, I'm wondering if the version of FFMpeg that the MPlayer configure script downloads might be at fault. The slightly outdated FFMpeg I installed from SBo (6.1) does not crash when converting the same file. And no, I can't use either Alien Bob's Mplayer build or the MPlayer binaries included with Slackware. Neither is built against either libdv or x264. I need libdv as an output codec.

I have Kubuntu 10.10 64-bit, which was running fine until I did a bunch of apt-get software installs to permit me to compile YaWP weather plasmoid. In the process I am now at KDE 4.6.2, and my system is now non-functional, not able to start KDE desktop.
When KDE starts I get continuous krunner segfaults, krunner is taking 100% of the CPU, the desktop is there but the system is unusable. /var/log/messages is filled with the krunner segfaults, each line further indicating "error 4 in libkio.so.5.6.0". I tried reinstalling kubuntu-desktop, problem remains.
I expect I have created some software incompatibility with my installs, but I do not know how to diagnose/resolve.

Starting around two weeks ago, Iceweasel began closing at unpredictable intervals for no apparent reason. When I ran it in GDB, it came up as a segfault, though the backtraces were different each time. It would even do this in safe mode, though it generally took longer. Icedove began doing the same thing around the same time.
So, I decided to reset my profile and start over. But now it's still segfaulting, even in safe mode.
A cursory use of memtester didn't turn up anything unusual.
Could it be some browser addon that is causing problems even when it's not activated?
If so, why is Icedove doing the same thing occasionally?
The biggest problem is that it's intermittent, so I would have to use my browser with a new profile for a long time before I could confirm that the problem is actually fixed.
