makemkv / makemkvcon crash; cause segfaults in liborc

Message

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)

Code: Select all

ice@medi ~ $ makemkvcon info dev:/dev/sr0
MakeMKV v1.8.7 linux(x64-release) started
Profile parsing error: default profile missing, using builtin default
Segmentation fault

dmesg on amd-boxes:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon[10364]: segfault at 7f2758e84000 ip 00007f2758e84000 sp 00007fff44c78558 error 14 in zero[7f2758e88000+60000]

dmesg on intel-box:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon[22625]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f1aaa9e0002 sp 00007fffb2f3fcc8 error 4 in liborc-0.4.so.0.17.0[7f1aaa9e0000+79000]

i've re-emerged makemkv and also different versions of dev-lang/orc but the problem remains the same. i've extracted the files from the makemkv-archives that the ebuild downloads and run makemkvcon manually but (not surprisingly) the problem remains the same.
the makemkvcon-version from the archive:

Code: Select all

ice@x2 ~/tmp $ ldd makemkv-bin-1.8.7/bin/amd64/makemkvcon
<SNIP>
liborc-0.4.so.0 => /usr/lib64/liborc-0.4.so.0 (0x00007fe15c566000)

i've also tested that with the oldest version of dev-lang/orc available in portage - no change.

all systems are ~amd64 with the latest updates; the amd-boxes run kernel 3.13-r1 with radeon-os-drivers and the intel-box runs 3.12.8 (because of nvidia-drivers)

how can i get makemkv up&running again?

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

DawgG · Post by **DawgG** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 9:32 am

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.

Looks like 1.8.8 hit the tree recently, see if that helps.

Also do you guys have copies of the old tarballs ... any at all? I wanna do some testing on the older versions, but I only have latest.

Thanks. Giving it a try.

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 :/

beandog · Post by **beandog** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 6:43 pm

What's the last version that was working for you guys?

beandog · Post by **beandog** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 6:55 pm

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

Unfortunately it has the same issue.

Blah. Well I updated my own archives to have old versions, so if you wanna rollback, that's your option.

DawgG · Post by **DawgG** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 4:00 pm

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:
http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7517
what do you suggest we do now?

beandog · Post by **beandog** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 6:30 pm

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

brot · Post by **brot** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 6:28 pm

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

Code: Select all

makemkvcon info dev:/dev/sr0

No problem with seeing Green Lantern extended cut BR (just one I had laying around)

Software is in my sig.

brot · Post by **brot** » Sun Apr 06, 2014 12:02 pm

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?

I think that's when the problem started for me, at the install of glibc-2.18, and it has persisted through glibc-2.18-r1 and now glibc-2.19.

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

Code: Select all

$ makemkvcon info dev:/dev/sr0
MakeMKV v1.8.9 linux(x64-release) started
Segmentation fault

# dmesg
[ 8137.846752] makemkvcon[8063]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f34f9ffe002 sp 00007fffa6e31c38 error 4
[ 8137.846759]  in liborc-0.4.so.0.18.0[7f34f9ffe000+7b000]

I do not think it is up to the glibc version (tested with glibc-2.17 and glibc-2.18-r1) with makemkv-1.8.8 and 1.8.9

==========================================================
It's probably a 32/64 bit Story
On the same hardware with an x86 (i686) System makemkv-1.8.8 and 1.8.9 works here fine, with glibc-2.17

Code: Select all

DawgG · Post by **DawgG** » Fri May 02, 2014 12:12 pm

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).

Post by **Chewi** » Sun May 11, 2014 9:18 am

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:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

exec /mnt/makemkv/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --library-path /mnt/makemkv/usr/lib:/mnt/makemkv/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/mnt/makemkv/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /mnt/makemkv/usr/bin/makemkvcon "${@}"

Then invoke vlc or mplayer from Gentoo like this:

Code: Select all

LIBAACS_PATH=libmmbd LIBBDPLUS_PATH=libmmbd vlc

Enjoy!

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.

sessa · Post by **sessa** » Tue May 13, 2014 7:51 pm

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

Actually yes, I tried that before the Ubuntu solution but it doesn't work because glibc is not forwards-compatible. Even if you rebuild MakeMKV with the older glibc (possible with -Wl,-rpath), it still doesn't work because all the libraries it depends on would also need to be rebuilt. There are quite a few. The Ubuntu solution is much easier.
