  • Bug#265561: xmms-osd-plugin: Crashes xmms after a short time

    From Stuart Rowan@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 13 20:50:15 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: xmms-osd-plugin
    Version: 2.2.8-5
    Severity: grave
    Justification: renders package unusable

    It causes xmms to segfault shortly after startup. Rapid changing of songs
    (and hence using OSD to display the new song title) will mean experiencing
    the segfault quicker. XMMS has to be forcibly killed from the command line
    once it crashes (killall xmms).

    Thanks for your packaging efforts. I certainly appreciate the very useful osd-plugin.

    I originally thought this was bug #265230 but I have since worked out that
    if I disable the osd-plugin no crashing occurs and as soon as I enable it
    again (in the xmms preferences), xmms segfaults. The strace I left at bug #265230 will, I hope, be useful:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/xmms-crash.txt.gz?bug=265230&msg=6&att=1

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance tracking this one
    down.

    Cheers,
    Stu.

    Hi!

    If you'd like to help me a little, grab xosd_2.2.9-pre1 from http://pint.pmhahn.de/pmhahn/debian/sid/x/xosd/
    and give that a try. Works for me.
    Upstream has promised me to release a new version this week, so I'm
    delaying upload to unstable and will upload it only to experimental to
    not further burden Debians build-daemons.

    It seems to work for me. I don't think you want to set the "fixed"
    tag, though, as this bug hasn't been fixed. Maybe you meant "pending"?
