Hi everyone,

This is my first post on this forum, so please be gentle.

I have a problem with XBMC for Linux. I get everything to work except the SMB share. When I try to add an SMB source through the GUI XBMC crashes and I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".

I have tried all SVNs since 11860, and I still get this problem.

SMB mounting is working fine in Ubuntu 7.10 when not using XBMC.

Can anyone out there help me or are you having the same problem?

If you any more info please just tell me what to do.

Thanks

Post a debug log then it would be easier.

Hi,

Thanks for the very quick response!

How do I get a log from the system?

Sorry I am a total noob..

Wrote this up to add to the sticky...

How to submit a tracefile on crash

1) Compile XBMC with debugging enabled. (Without the NODEBUG flag.)

2) Start it up in windowed mode under the debugger via

Code:

gdb ./XboxMediaCenter

3) At the prompt startup XBMC

Code:

(gdb) run

3) At this point XBMC will start up. Then make the program crash, recreating your issue.

4) Once it crashes, you'll end up back at the (gdb) prompt. Type

Code:

(gdb) backtrace

5) Copy all the text from your console from when you started gdb, including the backtrace, and post it at

http://pastebin.com/

6) Post the pastebin link to the forums.

TY Rodalpho! I had no idea how to use the backtrace - I'd be happy to start using this when I run into situations where things just core. Good to know and much appreciated.

You actually can run XBMC as you normally do but this time configure your environment to allow core files (ulimit -c unlimited).

That will allow for core generations. You can then load the generated core into gdb and run the backtrace(backtrace, bt, where) to see where it crashed.

gdb /path/to/XboxMediaCenter corefile

This has just started happening to me also. I could add sources a few days ago with no problem.
Here is the traceback

here is the debug

This is the same behaviour i was seeing in ubuntu 8.04 when i was playing with that. I am using 7.10 ATM though.

HI again,

Thanks for the excellent guide on how to create backtrace info. I really appreciate the help.

First log showing XBMC crashing when trying to add a SMB source throught the GUI:

Second log when I actually get to browse the network and get to see the shared folders, but then it crashes:

System Info:
Ubuntu 7.10
Nvidia driver 169.12
Intel E8400
MSI P6NGM-FIH, with nForce-630i and built-in Nvidia GF7150

I was trying to add a SMB source in Videos and ran into the same issue, with pretty much the same backtrace as Onslaught posted at http://pastebin.com/f38e30ce

Videos -> add source -> browse -> Add network location -> SMB -> browse = segfault

i can supply more info or test things if needed.
