Hi all,

My XBMC 9.04 on Ubuntu Jaunty segfaults when I try to open the audio preferences dialog while watching a movie. Not really what it's supposed to do, I think Wink.

I tried to start XBMC using strace, but that didn't yield any useful information:
Code:
wait4(4294967295, The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
[{WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV}], 0, NULL) = 13694
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
write(2, "Segmentation fault\n"..., 19Segmentation fault
) = 19
read(10, ""..., 8192)                   = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?

The XBMC logfile does neither:

Code:
16:47:45 T:1926043712 M:2625826816   DEBUG: Update - NEW at 21378:000000037ff07bdd 00 OK mceusb (OK)

16:47:45 T:1926043712 M:2625826816   DEBUG: -------------------

Also, the output of the xbmc proces itself isn't very helpful:
Code:
$ xbmc
The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
Segmentation fault

Any help?

Right, I'm sorry, missed those. The requested information:

architecture: x86_64
install method: .debs from PPA
svn revision: 19954
complete debug log: http://pastebin.com/m70b25dc7
(XBMC did not dump a core file)

Now, I know the x86_64 architecture is not considered 'stable' yet, but isn't it about time it should be? Furthermore, I cannot think of any reason why this segfault only occurs on x86_64?

Let me know if you need any more information, because I'd really like to see this bug fixed. I Can't even change the subtitle language now Sad

Oh, I'm using VDPAU with kernel 2.6.28 (Ubuntu generic) and nvidia drivers 180.44:
nvidia-180-kernel-source
nvidia-180-libvdpau
nvidia-180-modaliases

Disabling VDPAU does not make a difference.

Make sure to set ulimit -c unlimited so that a core file can be generated.

Thanks and sorry for the delay. Core dump (interpreted by gdb) is right here: http://pastebin.com/f249be686

I can confirm this bug, I can't edit audio preferences either without XBMC segfaulting. Also running 9.04 x86_64 from the ppa's.

Not a problem here on x64 with current svn. Could you please post a ticket on TRAC?

Thanks

It could well have been the sync issues that elupus fixed the other night. If you can build from SVN please try with a r20500 or later before creating a ticket. The SVN PPA is another potential source for a test build, though I'm not sure of its current status.

I'm currently configuring and building from SVN (hoping to fix the "jittery video" problem too).

Can't reproduce here. Btw, your log states SVN r19517
