Package: xfmedia Version: 0.9.2-7 Severity: normal
I'm not sure if this is the same problem as the OP, but the symptoms are pretty much identical. I had no problems with 'xfmedia' at all -- using it very frequently -- until I installed the most recent updates a few minutes ago. Clicking on my launcher causes 'xfmedia' to open its window, but close immediately. No error messages appear in ~/.xsession-errors. Opening an X terminal and running 'xfmedia' causes the same behavior, but prints Segmentation fault as its only output. The following type of messages appear in 'dmesg' output, however: [ 35.338203] xfmedia[4493]: segfault at 30 ip 00007f9e12f2530a sp 00007fff99a10740 error 4 in libpthread-2.9.so[7f9e12f1d000+16000] [ 84.970243] xfmedia[4558]: segfault at 30 ip 00007f1fe25e430a sp 00007fffb06e1c00 error 4 in libpthread-2.9.so[7f1fe25dc000+16000] [ 357.800281] xfmedia[4666]: segfault at 30 ip 00007f54fc68b30a sp 00007fffe8f5b6b0 error 4 in libpthread-2.9.so[7f54fc683000+16000] It's very strange that a working version would be OK, then suddenly start segfaulting! I had just updated Sid before noticing that 'xfmedia' would not run any more: $ tail -n 18 /var/log/aptitude =============================================================================== [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libfile-copy-recursive-perl [UPGRADE] binutils 2.19.91.20090923-1 -> 2.19.91.20090927-1 [UPGRADE] binutils-doc 2.19.91.20090923-1 -> 2.19.91.20090927-1 [UPGRADE] gnome-themes 2.26.2-1 -> 2.28.0-1 [UPGRADE] gnuplot-nox 4.2.5-3 -> 4.2.6-1 [UPGRADE] gnuplot-x11 4.2.5-3 -> 4.2.6-1 [UPGRADE] libtheora0 1.1~beta3-1 -> 1.1.0-1 [UPGRADE] libudev0 0.141-2 -> 146-3 [UPGRADE] libvte-common 1:0.22.1-1 -> 1:0.22.1-2 [UPGRADE] libvte9 1:0.22.1-1 -> 1:0.22.1-2 [UPGRADE] python-reportlab 2.2-2 -> 2.3-1 [UPGRADE] python-vte 1:0.22.1-1 -> 1:0.22.1-2 [UPGRADE] udev 0.141-2 -> 146-3 [UPGRADE] update-inetd 4.34 -> 4.35 =============================================================================== Log complete. I don't see anything there that 'xfmedia' directly depends on, so maybe the segfaults have nothing to do with this set of updates. I thought I should mention it, though, in case someone sees something significant in that list of updated packages. The only packages in that list that conceivably could affect 'xfmedia' are the two udev packages, but no other sound-using software as been affected on my system. (And the segfault error message in 'dmesg' seems to indicate a problem with pthreads, not ALSA.)
