Crash

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Operating System: Ubuntu 10.10
 - Computer: 32-bit
 - Mupen64Plus Version: The newest one.
 - Plugins: The included ones.

Describe the problem: Well today I tried Mupen64Plus on my computer. And at 
first it didn't work because of the plugin I was using. I Googled the issue and 
discovered that I needed to switch the visual plugin from Mike's (whatever it 
is) to the Mupen Visual Plugin.

I did this. Tried it again and now I have all of the following problems:

1. GNOME Crashed.

Tried to restart the computer to see if it would fix it and then:

2. Ubuntu Crashed. I can't even get to the login screen.

My computer uses the ZSNES Emulator just fine, so there must be some issue with 
the Mupen64. Any help you could provide would be so appriciated because I have 
no way to burn a new live-cd and I don't want to recompile me entire Ubuntu 
system from U-lite again.

Thanks alot,

Jaden.

Mupen64plus doesn't kill your login screen --- it has not the ability to run 
before the X server runs.

Also "the newest one" is not a number

I don't know who Mike (there is no plugin with this name in the bundle... 
please keep your bug report consistent) is or what "Mupen Visual Plugin" should 
be. Please use a Ubuntu version which provides mupen64plus 1.99.x (there is no 
one right now... maybe 11.04 will have imported it) or use 
http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/downloads/detail?name=mupen64plus-bundle-li
nux32-1.99.4-ubuntu.tar.gz

And when your X server crashes, it usually means that the graphic card driver 
or another sub component is heavily broken --- not mupen64plus.

I am really fascinated about the idea to mark this bug invalid.

You know, it's funny how you can be so rude to the people who use your product.

First off, when I say the newest version. Any intelligent person would look at 
the date posted and the most recent download from that date.

Second, I meant to put Rice's Visual Plugin, not Mike's. Mupen's Visual Plugin 
is obviously Glide64 since it's the only one with MUPEN in it's name.

Thirdly, your program's visual plugin kills GNOME, I watched it do it in 
Terminal. And, not only does it kill GNOME, it killed all of my installed 
desktop environments. So when I tried to switch, that's what killed the login 
screen and bootsplash.

The Ubuntu forum users answered my question without your attitude. Maybe you 
should learn some manners. I will definitely never use this program again and 
will never recommend it to my friends. Your support team is obviously rude.

So, in regards to your sarcasm and attitude, I just say go to hell.

It is not "my" product. I am not rude to people, but judged the _bug report_ by 
the information that was given here.

You seem to be the one which attacks other people. So please calm down and 
provide the necessary information. Otherwise this is just a bad bug report and 
I will mark it as invalid because it is impossible to fix something.

> First off, when I say the newest version. Any intelligent person would look

There are different views on what is the newest and it changes over time. So 
being precise is important. For example Debian sid and Arch Linux think that 
1.99.4 is the newest. Ubuntu universe and Gentoo currently think that 1.5 is 
the newest version. And to make it more complicated: There are also different 
builds available.

> Second, I meant to put Rice's Visual Plugin, not Mike's. Mupen's Visual 
Plugin is obviously Glide64 since it's the only one with MUPEN in it's name.

This is just wrong. Let us assume that we have something like an official 
mupen64plus "visual" plugin. That would mean that the stuff from Richard42 in 
the bundle is the "official" stuff. And did you notice that there is no glide64?

> Thirdly, your program's visual plugin kills GNOME, I watched it do it in 
Terminal. And, not only does it kill GNOME, it killed all of my installed 
desktop environments. So when I tried to switch, that's what killed the login 
screen and bootsplash.

How does it kill it? Could it be that your driver/X/wm is just buggy? Can you 
provide backtraces, logs, ...? Have you tested that it also happens on other 
completely different setups? What desktop environment did you have installed? 
What does "kill" mean here?

> The Ubuntu forum users answered my question without your attitude. Maybe you 
should learn some manners. I will definitely never use this program again and

It would be nice to give a link to sites which have more information about the 
problem. It is still not enough to reproduce the problem or determine the cause 
of it.

Closing due to not enough information to duplicate bug; some reported 
information is inconsistent.  Other people have no problems with Mupen64Plus on 
Ubuntu 10.10, so presumably the reporter has some kind of system problem.  The 
reported crashes in Gnome and X reinforce this theory.  An application cannot 
cause these systems to crash unless they contain bugs internally.
