Crash when loading files into gmusicbrowser

[dreamer]

Hi all.

Since my upgrade on the amd64 architecture with Xubuntu (I also changed my motherboard); gmusicbrowser crashes sometimes; only when I try to load files; sometimes it works fine; sometimes it doesn't. It's impossible to correlate the problem with any specific file; type or anything else; it happens randomly.

Here is as attached piece the window of the report sent to ubuntu dev.

If I can provide any log; just let me know how to grab it; I'll post it here.

Thanks in advance !

I don't know what could cause that, I've been using the amd64 architecture for some time too, it didn't cause any problem.
You could launch it from the command line and see if it prints any error message when it crashes. You could also launch it with the -debug option, that will print a lot more things, though I don't know if it will be more helpful.

ok; next time it crashes I'll post the logs; I tried two or three times and it didn't :)

Here is an example :

Thanks, this kind of bug is rarely due to a bug in gmb, as it is written in perl, so it's most likely a bug in the libraries used.

The most likely suspect is gstreamer, are you using gstreamer (check in the audio tab of gmb's preferences), and is gmb playing while it crashes ? You could try using mplayer for a while and see it still crashes.

Another possible culprit is the gtk theme, some gtk2 theme engine have been known to cause crashes, so you can try using a different theme engine. Gtk2 themes depends on an engine, and lots of theme use the same engine with different settings (colors mostly) thus you should try using themes very different from your current one. Aslo gmb still uses gtk2, so you need a program to change the gtk2 theme, like gtk-chtheme.

Other than these 2 suspects, I don't know, maybe some hardware issue if you have some crashes with other programs.

Thank you for your response.

No it's the noly program to rcrash in this manner.

I changed the audio preference to mplayer now :)

Hi.

Since I've moved to mplayer; the problem didn't appear anymore for the moment !

[Quentin Sculo]

It is possible that it is due to a bug in the glib perl bindings that was fixed a few months ago, but hasn't spread yet to most distro (I don't remember if the upcoming ubuntu has the fix). Without the fix, gmb may be unstable when gstreamer requires attention and gmb is busy at the same time, and scanning songs increase the chances of gmb being busy at the wrong time.

Finally the bug began to appear again since yesterday even if I use mplayer; but it happens rarely.

i'll wait for the fix into upcoming releases.
