livna mplayer, xine and vlc i386 in FC5 x86_64 all segfault. Any one else?

bazzoon · #1 9th April 2006, 11:22 PM

Hello every one.
I have just freshly downloaded the FC5-x86_64 OS. I configured the yum.repo to additionally point to the i386 tree for the player support of win32 codes. I issued the command:

Code:

yum install mplayer.i386 --enablerepo=*.i386

I did the same for xine and vlc and they downloaded fine with all the needed dependency resolved from the i386 trees.

But they all segfault. for exmaple

Code:

$ mplayer -verbose=4
Segmentation fault
$

Note that this happen whith and without supplying link or file name. verbose mode writes nothing to the console. xine goes a bit farther. Here is the output in verbose mode:

Code:

$ xine --verbose=2

vlc also shows some line of output before it crashes:

Code:

$

kaffeine does the same, and I would give more details of its verbose if needed.

What is going on?

In FC4 they all worked fine. Could this relate to seLinux? but then why the 64 bit counterparts work fine? I am lost.

it is problaby the fact the you are using the wrong platform. I believe if you add livna repo it will automatically detect your platform such amd64.

imdeemvp · #3 10th April 2006, 12:08 AM

In the last page of my multi-media how-to someone install some of these apps under amd64 version so take a look at the last page of how-to.

Realplayer is also 32 bit applications but works fine. I have done the same with FC4, i.e I ran the 32 bit mplayer and xine in a 64 bit platform. They also worked. It is the idea that in a 64 bit operating system, you can run both 32 bit and 64 bit applications.

THank you for the reply. in fact, these are generic which I followed in installing these sofware in all my previous installation since redhat 8. I only encountered this problem in FC5. The fact that all of them crash the same way means that they either:
- compiled with a buggy library.
- they are trying to use an existing proplematic library at run time
- or some how yum has figured out the wrong architecture during dependency check. Therefore a library was marked as present when it wasn't.

I would be very interested to know if any other user has the same experience with FC5.

OK never mind. The problem was a wrong permission set for the win32 libraries. Now I tried xine and it worked fine.

Let me guess, SELINUX?

genneth · #8 11th April 2006, 02:37 PM

A tip for those that run into similar problems:

Install the *-debuginfo packages, from, say, the livna-debuginfo repos, and run the app under gdb. Then you can see where it segfaults, and may be able to work out the problem. At the very least, you can provide much better error reports, which someone may be able to use.

thank you for the tip. certainly it is useful.

might be, but I do not think so. files that have .so extention must have the execute permission for a program to be able to run them. When I untared the win32 directory and placed it in the /usr/lib, I forgot to check if permissions were set right. The must have the 755 not the 644. Not e that the files need to have this permission are only the .so ones (linux shared objects) not the .dll or any windows based shared objects. Hope that helps someone.

EngineerJoe · #11 16th April 2007, 07:08 AM

I hate to bring back an old thread, but it's better than starting a new one. I started getting "segmentation fault" when loading xine, but only when I load it as the standard user. When I log in as root and run xine from the terminal, it loads with no problems. Xine has been working flawlessly until today, so I don't know what could be causing this problem. Thoughts?

saqer · #12 16th April 2007, 08:11 AM

yesterday, xine were updated to 1.1.5 version. If you had it from the extras/livna reposotory then you might want to check the /usr/lib/codecs and see if files were removed or wether permissions were changed. If you think files are ok, then more details are appreciated.

run xine with verbose:

$ xine --verbose=2

EngineerJoe · #13 17th April 2007, 05:48 AM

Sorry for the length, but I'm just posting the output of 'xine --verbose=2'

I'd also like to point out that yum update xine did nothing. As I've mentioned before though, xine works under superuser and that's enough to get me by for now, but it is by no means my final solution to this problem. Because of the length (and because I'm not sure where the problem lies) the output is being posted in two posts.
