X11 crashes when starting transcode #125

Closed milgner closed 12 years ago

milgner commented 12 years ago

As soon as I start the transcoding process, I see, for about a second, the progress dialog and immediately after that my whole X11 session crashes. This is Arista 0.9.7 on Fedora 16. I can't find a really helpful error message, but maybe it's related to these messages appearing in my logs:

[90006.534547] gnome-shell[11382]: segfault at 546ed5008 ip 0000003e7fe5ff28 sp 00007fffc4150720 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.1[3e7fe00000+11e000]

Are you able to use Totem or other GStreamer-based applications?

milgner commented 12 years ago

Totem is working fine, I just tried it with the source video I wanted to transcode.

Hmm, does running 'arista-transcode inputfile.mp4' in a terminal work or does that crash as well? (replace inputfile.mp4 with your file name of course)

milgner commented 12 years ago

Running it from the Gnome terminal works, it seems to be a problem with the GUI somehow.

milgner commented 12 years ago

I'll try it on another computer this evening where there's almost exactly the same configuration except that I didn't install the proprietary AMD fglrx driver there. I have a hunch that the driver may cause some hiccups.

milgner commented 12 years ago

Everything's working fine on my other system. And since transcoding via command line works I'm guessing it's not a problem you can do anything about as the real cause is probably somewhere down the library chain... I'm closing the issue.
