Description Michal Babej 2006-10-02 19:06:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
RhythmBox receives SIGSEGV after changing the "Browser views" at Preferences.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhythmbox-0.9.4.1-1.fc5.1.i386

How reproducible:
After some random experiments with RB UI (selecting different playlists from
different sources, and some playback) this occurs after changing "Browser view".
I managed to reproduce it at least 3 times - first time without gdb, then got 2
backtraces.

Steps to Reproduce:
Last step that causes crash is selecting another Browser view in preferences. I
will do further investigation on exact steps that cause the crash.
  
Actual results:
SIGSEGV

Expected results:
Normal operation

Additional info:
See attached GDB backtrace.

Comment 4 Michal Babej 2006-10-17 13:59:28 UTC 
changed version from FC5 to devel as this bug is still present in FC6-devel.
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2006-10-17 19:38:09 UTC 
I can't reproduce this crash on my FC6 system.
Comment 6 Michal Babej 2006-10-20 07:11:52 UTC 
Uhm, i tried it again and it crashed again. The whole library is .ogg music.
Does the backtrace make any sense ??
Comment 7 Michal Babej 2006-10-25 12:09:47 UTC 
I have found this bug present in Mayhem. Can any1 try to reproduce and comment ??
Comment 8 Bastien Nocera 2007-01-30 23:10:55 UTC 
There are warnings before we get to the segfault:
(rhythmbox:4477): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT
(object)' failed

Could you please run rhythmbox with "--g-fatal-warnings" and gather a new
backtrace, please?
Comment 9 Michal Babej 2007-01-31 13:45:33 UTC 
with --g-fatal-warnings, it's output is:

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
aborting...

and a backtrace from bugbuddy in attachment

Comment 11 Bastien Nocera 2007-02-05 11:27:04 UTC 
I can't reproduce this in FC6 either, so removing the FC6Update blocker.

Moving to RHEL5 where the problem might exist.
Comment 12 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-26 09:45:34 UTC 
Please test with RHEL 5.3 when that's released.
Comment 13 Michal Babej 2009-02-04 12:08:23 UTC 
Can't reproduce in 5.3 (rhythmbox-0.11.6-4.el5)
Comment 14 Bastien Nocera 2009-02-13 11:14:13 UTC 
Good, closing.
