Hello,

I've been having an issue with XBMC crashing to desktop / loginscreen, when stopping a movie during playback or when a movie ends (and hence stops)
This does not happen every time, but only once in a while.

***** OS INFO *******
Linux media 2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:17:33 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
********************
SVN:33778
Installed via PPA
All media used in playback are accessed from a SMB share on another pc

The problem has been occurring on Dharma Beta1, Beta2 and 9.04

Can you start xbmc in a terminal, make it crash and then post the terminal output.
I think something called exit() here.

ok I will try when I get back tonight

If you're not starting xbmc with gdm directly, and you get the login screen after a crash, then xorg might have crashed.

If I start xbmc from GDM I crashes back to the login screen, if I start it from within Ubuntu it crashes back to the desktop

This is the terminal output when crashing XBMC when executed from terminal

Can you start xbmc in a terminal, press \ to go windowed, then in another terminal execute "gdb -p `pidof xbmc.bin`", then in gdb enter "set logging on" to make gdb write all its output to gdb.txt, then enter "catch throw" and "continue".

Now make it crash, xbmc will instead freeze (that's why you want it windowed) enter "thread apply all bt" in gdb, then enter "continue" in gdb, if gdb then shows that xbmc has crashed with a segmentation fault or has exited normally, enter "quit" in gdb and post the generated gdb.txt on pastebin.

I switched off "Enable LCD/VFD" in systems - settings - Video output and I haven't had the issue reoccuring since.

Thanks for your help regardless bobo, very much appreciatated
