xmms does not start on edgy

Same here

BTW: banshee doesn't work either anymore (doesn't play sound) - perhaps it was a more global change...

After some time, I have the feeling that it is an incompatibility with my X server, maybe some fonts stuff (my emacs does only display white blocks as chars, then there is Bug #58232 ...).

I'm currently comparing my configuration with a freshly installed edgy (where everything works), but this might still take some days.

Is this still a problem for anyone with version 1.2.10+cvs20060429-1ubuntu1?

Using 1.2.10+cvs20060429-1ubuntu:

martin@garrett:~$ xmms
Message: device: hw:0,0

  serial 1521 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0

Same for me w/ 1.2.10+cvs20060429-1ubuntu2:

[503]blackbox:~(0)> xmms

This bug has also been reported upstream: http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1907 (Launchpad does not currently do upstream links to xmms bugzilla). Poor interaction between gdk1 and composite that causes crashes and weird behavior when double-size is enabled. I can also verify that setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 (or disabling double-size) makes the problem go away.

I have the same problem,
Upgrade today to edgy

Firefox had the same problem. Crashed when opening websites containing flash. Solved by installing mozilla-flashplayer.

Is that maybe related?

Can everyone please install xmms-dbgsym and run a backtrace and attach it to this bug. Thank you.

ENOSUCHPACKAGE (xmms-dbgsym), at least in edgy. If you point me towards such a package I'd be happy to do so, although a guide to generating the backtrace would be helpful too. I'm not a C programmer ;)

xmms-dbgsym:

thats the output of apt-cache policy xmms-dbgsym

That still doesn't tlel me where to get the package. I think there's a bit
missing from there, because that's not a valid repo.

The solution given in bug #63144: "Clicking on the double size button crashes XMMS";

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

solves my problem. I then can run xmms without any problems

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted is the repo

I do not see a package named xmms-dbg (or xmms-debug or anything like
that) in there. Taking a look in the pool at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xmms/ I _still_ don't see
such a package. I installed xmms-dev, and there's no alternate binary in
there.

the package name is xmms-dbgsym not xmms-dbg. in terminal type apt-cache search xmms-dbgsym.

I can't find the package either.

After a while of trying to find out why i have it showing in "main" i have come to that the debugging repo it showing it in main. Please add this repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and run sudo apt-get update than install xmms-dbgsym.

the repo is: deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main universe

Installed xmms-dbgsym. Here's my gdb session, I had to interrupt because it stalled after the first error message:

After a reboot i had the same problem again.

an:

"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1"

solved the problem immediatly.

For fixing the crash of Firefox related to flash, you have to use the same line.
What is this line doing actually?

Huh, this one still open..

"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" fixes it for me, too, both on my desktop (edgy amd64 w/ nvidia+xinerama) and my notebook (edgy i386 w/ radeon).

What exactly does one need to do with the line "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1"? Is this command line in a terminal, or in the launcher? Thanks.

ricardisimo: To run xmms, try in a terminal 'export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1' and then 'xmms' to start xmms.

Everybody: This appears to be an issue with gdk-imlib1, a patch for which was written by BernardB. Please take a look at the patch ( bug 70367 ) and report success or failure using it.

I still can't set the size to double.
I haven't installed gdk-imlib1 at the moment. Should i do install the package to prevent the crash from happening? I cant think why it should be solved but i am willing to do so.

michiel@ubuntu-mifa:~$ xmms

for your information:
i am running a recent feisty fawn; upgraded from (... > dapper - >) edgy.
generic kernel

installed gdk-imlib1 gdk-imlib11 imlib-base
but that did not solve the problem.

Regards mifa

Sorry, this seems to be a different issue (I just realized that xmms does not depend on imlib). Again, sorry for the trouble.

Just going through my old open bugs...

AFAIK this problem has hit many programs, not only XMMS, and it might be rather a problem with the Nvidia (and ATI) proprietary drivers.

Since "AddARGBGLXVisuals" is set in my xorg.conf, I no longer have this problem. AFAIK this is set by default since feisty.
