Bug 141764

Please add the output of lspci -v

SDL-1.2.5 is old. Please upgrade to the FC-3 package SDL-1.2.7-8 with
a fix for this problem.

I have upgraded SDL to 1.2.7-8 and the problem still remains exactly 
the same as before.

Is your copy of frozen-bubble statically linked? Is is using the
newest SDL library on your system?

Can you please verify this with a game, which is part of fedora?
Please run the program in a debugger and attach the backtrace.

frozen-bubble is a perl script so it is not statically linked to SDL 
(I was suprised too!). 
 
I ran frozen-bubble inside gdb but because the SDL library has no 
debugging symbols the stach trace is probably of very little help: 
 
[Sound Init] 
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 
[Switching to Thread 35609520 (LWP 7012)] 
0x009ac226 in do_lookup_x () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 
 
It always happens in the sound initialisation (only if artsd is 
running).  
 
Should I download the source rpm for SDL and recompile (please tell 
me how to enable debug for a source rpm) or should I just download 
the SDL source and enable debugging? 
 
I did a quick search on the internet and it appears many people have 
this problem too and it is a very old bug in SDL. I guess noone 
bothered to submit any bug reports ;-( 
 
Anyway, I will be glad to help get a better stack trace if you are 
having difficulty reproducing this bug. I'll download the official 
SDL sourvce code in the meantime and enable debugging. I'll let you 
know as soon as I get a better stack trace... 
 

SDL doesn't compile under FC3. I guess redhat has applied some 
patches so I have to build from redhat sources to get a better stack 
trace? I get this error when building from the official SDL 1.2.7

Please use another application to reproduce this problem. 

You wrote "if I try to run any SDL application (eg frozen-bubble)", so
this problem should occur with other applications, too.

The reason I use frozen-bubble is because all the other SDL programs 
change my sceen resolution just before crashing and then my X server 
gets messed up. Sometimes the mouse is grabbed and sometimes my 
original X screen just never comes back. The only option then is to 
kill the X server (just killing the offending app can still leave the 
resolution messed up and the mouse and keboard not functioning 
properly). With frozen-bubble I set the settings to use a separate 
window and not to use full screen. This way I can always reproduce 
the problem without having to kill my X server and without any mouse 
or keyboard issues. 
 
It is the easiest way to safely reproduce the problem on my system 
and be able to examine stack traces etc under gdb.  
 
Do you have any othger suggestion for an SDL program that doesn't 
want to run full screen? All the other games I use want to run in 
full screen mode. 
 
I tried using Xnest but then there is a completely different crash 
related to Xnest that has nothing to do with this bug so I can't 
reproduce this bug under Xnest. 
 
 

Two suggestions:
Does Maelstrom have this problem?
Does installing the debuginfo package for SDL produce a better backtrace?
(http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/wiki/StackTraces )

I forgot to mention that Maelstrom can be run with a -window argument.

Actually other SDL applications are affected, too, occasionally. But
far from 100% reproducible. Everytime it happened to me I couldn't get
a single crash with debuginfo packages installed. "Fatal signal:
Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)" has been a reoccuring
error since Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 in bugzilla.fedora.us QA (searching
for "parachute" gives a few results) of e.g. tuxtype2, dosbox,
wesnoth. All available in http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/3 and
also the debuginfo packages in case more apps are needed. Enabling KDE
sound server is not enough here to reproduce it. It must be a very
special system state which triggers it.

Maelstrom crashes instantly but doesn't display the SDL parachute message only 
"Segmentation fault" so I assume it is crashing for different reasons. After 
installing the SDL_gfx-debuginfo package there was not a very helpful stack 
trace from Maelstrom: 
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 
[Switching to Thread 24894384 (LWP 9263)] 
0x00b582c1 in do_lookup_x () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 
 
 

That do_lookup_x problem sounds an awful lot like bug #134457 (although for the
record it is possible to use env vars like export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa to change
which driver SDL will use). What is your artsd currently set to output sound to?

My artsd is set to output to ALSA but I also experience the same problem with 
it set to "Auto Detect" and "Open Sound System" 

Can you please have a look at the latest FC-4 update package of SDL (1.2.8-4).
It is using alsa output by default.

Is it solving your problem?

Closing due to lack of response by reporter.
