makemkv / makemkvcon crash; cause segfaults in liborc

DawgG · l33t Joined: 17 Sep 2003 Posts: 866

i noticed that makemkv (or rather makemkvcon) cannot be used on any of my systems anymore: the gui exits on any actions with "fatal error" and makemkvcon causes segfaults in liborc (from dev-lang/orc)

Did you ever fix this? A recent Bluray purchase has made me revisit Makemkc and my previously working installation now segfaults like yours.

no, i never got this fixed (the makemkvcon-binary is closed-source).
i had some very moderate success inside a chroot (on the same system): dvds can be extracted, but blurays still cannot. ppl report the same probs in the makmkv-forums. i ended up temporarily using a different distro for this.
GOOD LUCK!

Have you tried using an older version of MakeMKV?

It's pretty simple to compile, not using an ebuild. Just curious if there was something critical that you needed latest version for ...

Initially I was using an older version and that worked. I must have upgraded it, since last using it, and it started coredumping.

I'll put an older version on and try that.

Hello,

Same here,

Tried with the 1.8.7 and 1.8.8 installed manually and the 1.8.8 installed by emerge and still the same error :/

Also, 1.8.9 is available now, but not in the tree.

i tested 1.8.7 thru 1.8.9 - still the same error. i installed it with portage , w/ and w/out the makefile.patch and manually (with the included makefiles) - no go. i downgraded orc - same problem(s).
i think the problem lies somewhere else - because users report they have no problems with glibc-2.18 and kernel 3.13:

what do you suggest we do now?

Hmm, dunno. Seems odd to me that glibc of all things would be the one causing problems ..

Phew, i though i had gone crazy.

I used makemkv to get the first two seasons of breaking bad onto my tablet. Then, my friend wanted his bluray drive back, so i tried to rip the rest of the seasons - and got the segfault. This was with the version 1.8.7. Since i was very busy at that time, i ignored the problems and gave his drive back. He then said, his drive was broken, so i assumed the problem was the drive.

Now i bought two BR-Writers (one for him and another one for me), and tried to continue where i left off. However, i got the same problem.

So, are there any solutions yet? Or could i help with some informations?

Thanks anyways,
brot

I just compiled the 1.8.9 version and ran the op command

Your sig mentions glibc-2.17, so maybe there are indeed problems with newer glibc. Since that is hard to downgrade: Is anyone here having problems and is running glibc-2.18?

Sounds like glibc changed the way they handle one or more function calls.

All you can do is pester the makemkv people.
I do have to wonder why they don't just create a static makemkv binary,
at least the glibc part as it would keep problems like this from happening.

Good luck

Same error here on a amd64 no-multilib system

i just re-checked this with 1.8.10 on a completely up-to-date ~x86-system: same problems.
for me the only way to run it on gentoo is to run it in an ancient amd64-chroot or use it in a different distro installed exclusively for this purpose (mint).

I think Josef.95's finding may be false, it definitely worked with glibc 2.17 here and other people appear to be reporting the same. I have just updated to glibc 2.19 and it stopped working. I couldn't be bothered to install Gentoo to a ROOT so I used debootstrap to install a base Ubuntu Saucy instead. I chrooted into that system and installed MakeMKV but I wanted to use the libaacs emulation feature that I mentioned in bug #509838. The patch attached there gets it to execute /opt/bin/makemkvcon rather than /usr/bin/makemkvcon but in this case, ignore the patch and use the latter path to invoke a wrapper to the Ubuntu system instead.

/usr/bin/makemkvcon:

Has anyone tried (that is having problems with glibc >2.17) to build the older glibc libraries,
put them somewhere else, and use LD_PRELOAD to point to them instead of the newer glibc?

Edit to add: Yes, I know it's a pain, but if it works it would allow one to use the program until the program gets fixed to work with later glibc's.

Hello,

I made a downgrade of glibc from 2.19 to 2.17
After that I started emerge -e @system @world
Luckily everythings works.

Expect makemkv - Still the same Errors

Installed version of ffmpeg was 2.22
I also tested it with libav-9, ffmpeg-1.2, ffmpeg-2.1

Im using a 64-bit system, gcc 4.8.2
