 |
|
Hi,
I am having a strange problem with totem when using it under the Xorg
server. If I try to launch totem, nothing happens... no error message,
no window, nothing, nada.
A syscall trace looks like this...
| Code: |
$ strace -f totem
execve("/usr/bin/totem", ["totem"], [/* 53 vars */]) = 0
[...]
writev(3, [{"\221\1\6\0\17\0\200\2", 8}, {"XInputExtension", 15}, {"\0", 1}], 3) = 24
read(3, 0xbfffdf70, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
futex(0x80a16d8, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\1E\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\30\0\0\0\10\367"..., 32) = 32
futex(0x80a16d8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL [Freeze]

The problem is reproducible on a fresh Xorg emerge, but does not appear
when using Xfree. What could be wrong, any ideas?
Regards,
Rieck
P.S.
It's not a gstreamer problem, I am using USE="-gstreamer"
P.P.S.
I am running an SMP system, thus a deadlock might the problem. |

I've been struggling with totem forever. One time when I got frustrated I just kept double clicking on the file, there were like 12 totem processes running, finally the file opened and started playing.... So that's how I have to watch something with totem, I've since switched to mplayer.
No help from Hadess on bugs.gnome.org. I'll try XFree. |

The problem is that the patch to fix the problem is in X.org upstream, and Gentoo was applying another patch. Having both patches in re-introduced the problem (which is not surprising, since it was a locking bug).
If you modify your xorg-x11 ebuild to exclude patch 0155, you should be all good to go. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64929 for an updated ebuild that does that.
Works like a charm for me.
