Gecko-mediaplayer Cacusing crash in chromium

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Chromium under a non-Gnome session
2. Browse a few pages
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the pages to load and Chromium to continue as normal. 
However the browser hangs after a page or two

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Browser Version: Chromium 4.0.256.0~svn20091123r32803-0ubuntu1~ucd1~karmic
Plugin Version: gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.8-1ubuntu1
OS Version: Ubuntu karmic 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-15-generic
Please provide any additional information below.
A few bugs have been filed with the Chromium dev team, all seem related to 
gecko-mediaplayer. See here: 
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24507
While I'm aware this probably isn't being caused by Gecko-mediaplayer. I 
was hoping your team may have some insight as to why its happening. If you 
could have a look at the debug logs maybe you'll see something the Chromium 
guys missed??

If I have the gecko-mediaplayer installed, chromium crashes with glibc double 
frees during launch or hangs. This also leads to hangs during exit, leading to 
requiring a 'kill' for getting rid of chrome.

======= Memory map: ========

gvfsd and /usr/libexec/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor are running when this 
happens.

I have uninstalled the gecko-mediaplayer and this has happened in last 4 days.

s/and this has happened in last 4 days./and this hasn't happened in last 4 
days./

Sorry about that. I meant that gecko-mediaplayer is the chrome crasher.

Occurs randomly on openSUSE 11.2 for x86_64 with KDE 4.3.5, chromium 5.0.307, 
and 
gecko-mediaplayer from svn.

vkrevs, do you have a backtrace?

I certainly do :-)

Here is another stack trace from chromium 5.0.319.0 for x86_64 on openSUSE 11.2 
for 
x86_64 under KDE 4.3.5 where gecko-mediaplayer is causing chromium to hang.

Perhaps you should configure using "--without-gconf" and see if this goes away. 
Also
you don't list what version you are using.

As a bug on the Chrome bug tracker says, this is a bug in Chrome.  I believe 
the 
underlying problem is that Chrome sometimes hangs if something starts a nested 
gtk 
message loop, which gecko-mediaplayer appears to be doing via gconf in this 
call 
stack:

I use svn rev358 of gecko-mediaplayer (the one which works with apple 
trailers). Will 
try the --without-gconf option and let you know the result.

--without-gconf appears to fix it with the svn tip of gecko-mediaplayer. There 
is one 
small glitch - it is not possible to generate an rpm once --without-gconf is 
passed 
to configure. The "check" phase fails with

Processing files: gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.9.1-1.x86_64
error: File not found: /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.9.1-
1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/packages/gecko-mediaplayer
error: File not found: /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.9.1-
1.x86_64/etc/gconf/schemas/gecko-mediaplayer.schemas

A similar error occurs if I use the spec file from the packman's package and 
the 
tarball corresponding to the svn tip:
+ test -d /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.9-
1.pm.2.1.x86_64/etc/gconf/schemas

Spec file should be fixed now in SVN, please retry

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 13 Feb 2010 at 7:51

[GoogleCodeExporter]

BTW, the spec file assumes that --with-gconf is enabled, if you chose to change 
that
you may need to edit the .spec.in file to meet your requirements.

Marking this as fixed since the --without-gconf fixes it, and it is an upstream
chrome bug.
