coverart browser segfaults rhythmbox when selecting additional display columns #154

boydkelly commented 11 years ago

Hi,

I'm using fedora 18, Rhythmbox 2.9.8 and Coverart v0.7.

The Coverart plugin crashes Rhythmbox when selecting addition display columns.

How to reproduce:

1) Enable Coverart plugin. 2) Go to menu, edit, preferences, and select another column (I tried rating and bpm). 3) Close preferences 4) In the left pane select the CoverArt under Library.

I'm on Debian wheezy with Rhythmbox 2.97 and I'm not having this problem, so I can't really debug this. Please wait until we can get some more info about this issue!

hmmm - I've tried on ubuntu 13.04 64bit and rhythmbox 2.98 - I similarly cannot reproduce this.

Identical issue on both my laptop and desktop. (Both Fedora 18 64 bit) I'm away for the weekend, but I can set up a test box you can ssh into if that or anything else would help.

@fossfreedom do you have this problem in some of your test envs? It would be easier if we use a VM or something to exhaustively test this by ourselves. Personally, I don't have much time right now, but I'll start downloading a Fedora 18 iso and install it to test out this issue sometime around this week or the next d:

... cannot reproduce... downloading Fedora 18 64bit at the mo' - assuming the download doesnt crash out, I'll have a look tomorrow or the next.

Well I'm sorry - I'm totally exasperated.

Fedora 18 is a truly truly dreadful distro. I've installed 3 times, failed installed twice. constant yum crashes with segmentation faults, constant python problems.

@boydkelley,

The key thing is python - given my constant crashes, and what you have seen, I dont believe this issue you have seen is anything to do with this plugin. There is something inherently wrong with fedora 18 and its python installation.

Given that our plugin works perfectly on Ubuntu 13.04 and rhythmbox 2.98, I can only conclude this is a fedora 18 packaging issue with python. As such, I'm going to close this as an upstream issue. My advice is to capture the segmentation fault using GDB debugger and pass this up to the redhat maintainers.

They really have to sort out the alpha quality nature of this distro.

I'm going to stick to fedora 17 - this is perfectly stable as a distro should be.

Thanks for looking into this. I'll see what I can do on another distro for the time being. I'm glad to know that it works elsewhere at least! Great plugin!
