[gentoo-user] Any guess to why amarok visualizations fail to function?

[gentoo-user] Any guess to why amarok visualizations fail to function?

[Kenton Groombridge]

I posted this a couple weeks ago with no answer.  I am still unable to
determine what is going on.

Anytime I select a visualization from Tools->Visualizations menu, I get
the following output and the visualization output window closes.

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/amarok_libvisual: free(): invalid
pointer: 0x08067f80 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/amarok_libvisual: free(): invalid

I clicked bumpscope, corona, gdkpixpbuf, gforce, infinite, and so on
down the list for this output.

I have rebuilt amarok and libvisual with very conservative CFLAGS, and
without opengl in attempts to fix this problem.  I am not having
problems with anything other package on my system.

Is there any clue on what is causing this and what to do to fix it?

Thanks,
Ken

Well, I'm certainly not an expert here, but by default amarok installs
with a USE flag of -visualization.

I always change this to visualization and my visualizations work fine.

HTH.

Well it looks like I get the same problems running the same versions
of amarok, libvisual, and libvisual-plugins.

Unfortunately the trace output that I get seems more closely related
to trying to cleanup after the amarok_libvisual crash than pointing to
the actual cause of the crash.

I've built debug versions of these to do some more testing with and
hopefully submit a useful bug report...

Have you tried backing off to a previous version of amarok, like
1.4.0a?  It looks like the libvisual-0.4 updates in 1.4.1 are pretty
significant (previous amarok versions used libvisual-0.2).

Cool!  Well, not cool that you are having problems, but cool that I am
not alone.  I was beginning to wonder what was up.  I just did an emerge
-e world, and rebuilt my entire system thinking it may have been
something else causing the problem.  Still the same problem.

Previous versions work fine for me.

Since I never heard of anybody else having this problem, and I looked
through bugs.gentoo.org for others posting this problem, I figured it
was something special about my system.  I hate posting a bug report
until I have exhausted all attempts to fix it myself (especially if I am
the only one having the problem).

I looked for residual stuff left over from previous amarok and libvisual
builds, and didn't find anything.  I also found that libvisual-0.2 and
libvisual-0.4 coexist.  Thinking that libvisual-0.2 was conflicting, I 
removed libvisual-0.2 then rebuilt both libvisual-0.4 and amarok.  All
to no avail.

I will keep you posted of anything I determine.  Let me know if you file
a bug report as I can post my info as well to hopefully find what it is
about our systems causing this problem, or I can post a bug report.

Thanks,
Ken
