Package: pidgin
Version: 2.14.14-1+b3
Followup-For: Bug #1127417
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear maintainer,
I have also started observing this bug recently. `pidgin --debug` ends
with
(11:57:26) GStreamer: gst_device_get_display_name: assertion 'GST_IS_DEVICE
(device)' failed
(11:57:26) GStreamer: gst_device_get_device_class: assertion 'GST_IS_DEVICE
(device)' failed
(11:57:26) GStreamer: gst_device_get_display_name: assertion 'GST_IS_DEVICE
(device)' failed
(11:57:26) GStreamer: gst_device_get_device_class: assertion 'GST_IS_DEVICE
(device)' failed
Pidgin 2.14.14 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
and when I tried to produce the backtrace, I got quite similar one as
James posted here, so I am omitting it (but will provide if necessary).
After a while I noticed that it consistently occurs at the moment when
another application starts playing sounds/music. It gets worse if those
are message notifications (e.g. from Thunderbird) and arrive often. When
sound is already playing (music) or stops playing, Pidgin does not
crash.
I am using PipeWire/WirePlumber.
Looking into the history of updates at my machine, I would suspect the
update
libgstreamer1.0-0:amd64 (1.26.10-1, 1.28.0-2)
could be related, or possibly a former one:
pipewire:amd64 (1.4.9-1+b1, 1.4.10-1)
Just to note, I use another quite similar Debian installation, however,
I do not observe the problem there, at least definitely not that often
as with this one.
Hope this helps at least a bit.
Best wishes
Tomaxuser
