<metoo>

Any attempt to run gthumb just yields the message shown above.  This is Rawhide 64-bit, with gthumb-2.11.3-1.fc14.x86_64.

Comment 12 Benjamín Valero Espinosa 2010-05-31 18:34:09 UTC
I have a Nvidia card and I'm using the Nouveau driver. In my case, installing the package 'mesa-dri-drivers-experimental' has solved this issue.

Comment 13 Benjamín Valero Espinosa 2010-05-31 18:36:23 UTC
The duplicates happen with 32-bit, not only with 64.

Comment 14 Heiko Adams 2010-05-31 18:51:56 UTC
Installing 'mesa-dri-drivers-experimental' solved the problem here too

Same here for the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental solution...

There are still some warning while loading :

Comment 17 Steevithak 2010-06-02 05:29:17 UTC
I think I'm seeing this same bug. I installed Gthumb to replace the crappy "shotwell" thing that came with F13 but when I try to start Gthumb, it crashes silently, followed a few seconds later by one of two things: 1) abrt briefly appears and then crashes itself or 2) abrt appears and says Gthumb crashed but won't let me report it due to a "bad trace" 

When I look in /var/log/messages I see this:

Jun  2 00:21:04 triffid abrt[3716]: saved core dump of pid 3715 (/usr/bin/gthumb) to /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1275455949-3715.new/coredump (2892963840 bytes)

I'm running an up-to-date Fedora 13 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. Gthumb worked great on F12, F11, F10, etc. This is the first time I've seen any problems running Gthumb on Fedora on this box.

Comment 18 Benjamín Valero Espinosa 2010-06-02 07:31:21 UTC
Your case seems different, because your laptop has an ATI card.

It seems that the problem in this particular crash is that Gthumb in F13 depends on CLutter for the slideshow, but on Nvidia cards Clutter needs installed the experimental mesa drivers and crashes if not.

If this is really the problem, it should be solved or at least added to Common Bugs, although Gthumb is not installed by default.

Comment 19 Steevithak 2010-06-02 15:07:41 UTC
Actually, my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop has an nVidia card: nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200 64M](rev a1). 

What is the "clutter" thing that needs to be installed? I did a "yum list clutter*" but got a whole page full of stuff, so I'm not sure what to install.

Comment 20 Fabien Archambault 2010-06-02 15:20:39 UTC
Here is the installed files in my laptop:
# yum list installed | grep clutter
clutter.x86_64                    1.2.8-1.fc13                  @updates        
clutter-gtk.x86_64                0.10.4-1.fc13                 @fedora

Comment 21 Steevithak 2010-06-02 15:31:44 UTC
Ok, thanks, looks like that wasn't the problem. RPM shows those two packages as already installed:

rpm -q clutter:
clutter-1.2.8-1.fc13.i686

rpm -q clutter-gtk:
clutter-gtk-0.10.4-1.fc13.i686

What about the "experimental mesa drivers" mentioned in comment 18? Should I try installing those (and if so, what's the package name) ?

Comment 22 Benjamín Valero Espinosa 2010-06-02 16:01:37 UTC
The package for 3D support in Nvidia cards (with Nouveau) is mesa-dri-drivers-experimental.

Comment 23 Steevithak 2010-06-02 16:24:58 UTC
Cool, that fixed it! After installing mesa-dri-drivers-experimental, gthumb loads without crashing. I guess the next obvious question is why would gthumb require 3d graphics acceleration to display 2D photos? Aside from the apparent dependency bug in the gthumb package that doesn't let yum/rpm know it needs the mesa drivers, is there a bug in gthumb itself? It seems bizarre that it should even need 3d, much less crash when it's not available?

You should read the previous posts :D Gthumb uses Clutter for the slideshow, but it should work without 3D, or at least disabled the 3D transitions.

Comment 25 Steevithak 2010-06-02 18:17:26 UTC
Ok, understood. I didn't realize they'd added fancy 3D stuff to the slide show.

So would it make sense to file a separate bug upstream on Gthumb for "not properly detecting whether 3D support is present" or something along those lines? Or does this bug pretty much cover it?

Comment 26 larry 2010-06-03 03:16:29 UTC
well, i'm using neither ATI nor nVidia card cuz i have Fedora 13 installed as a guest on VMWare Server 2.0.0.2643.  i've tried mesa-dri-drivers-experimental and it didn't work.

Comment 27 Fabien Archambault 2010-06-03 06:22:00 UTC
I am not sure, but perhaps you need to install the additions or something like this in order to allow VMWare to do some 3D.

Comment 28 larry 2010-06-03 07:24:43 UTC
i think VMWare Server doesn't support 3D acceleration in guests.  oh well, i'll just switch to Shotwell then.

Juan, if you open Gthumb from the Applications menu it doesn't crash?

Comment 35 Jonathan Corbet 2010-06-16 15:46:11 UTC
FWIW, the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental fix does not work for me.  I'm running basic Intel graphics.  I'm also running custom kernels, of course, so maybe I've configured out something important.  Before anybody asks: stock kernels don't currently boot on this system for reasons I intend to track down once I've recovered a bit from recent travel.

Filed in GNOME Bugzilla (and this bug also get mentioned in LWN -- it appears Jon Corbet is also affected: http://lwn.net/Articles/392261/)

Comment 39 Michael J. Chudobiak 2010-06-23 11:51:17 UTC
This is fixed upstream, and the fix will appear in gThumb 2.11.4 (due to be released Monday June 28). Slideshow functionality should degrade gracefully if clutter is not usable.

As a side note: the old slideshow code was horrible to look at, hard to understand, and prone to odd effects (with dual display systems, for example). The new clutter-based code is very clean and elegant, due to clutter's easy-to-use API. That is why clutter was used, not because gThumb will be displaying 3D images or holograms or whatever.

Re: Comment #39
Michael,
Is there any workaround before we get gthumb 2.11.4 in F13?  Thanks.
I installed mesa-dri-drivers-experimental but apparently it does not
help; gthumb still core dumps.  I have
  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)        
which is neither ATI or nVidia.

Comment 43 Michel Lind 2010-07-16 23:17:40 UTC
I've not heard from Behdad, so since there's been two releases in which this bug is fixed upstream, I'm pushing an update.

Please test and vote up the package above if it fixes the issue for you. It works on my computer, which since it has an ATi Evergreen card, is not supported even with the experimental DRI drivers.

Re: Comment #42
Michel,
Please advise how to update gthumb for test.  I tried this just now:
    [root@taiwan ~]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/gthumb 
    gthumb-2.11.3-1.fc13.i686
    [root@taiwan ~]# yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing gthumb

Did I miss anything?  Thanks!

Comment 66 John Good 2010-07-23 02:38:53 UTC
I tried the mesa- and clutter-gtk workarounds then I found Comment 65 and entered the yum update ... given, and it found version 2.11.5 which works just fine.

Thanks, guys.

Comment 67 Gerhard 2010-07-23 04:25:59 UTC
After the update, I can't determine the problem any more. Thx a lot! ;-)

Comment 68 Alex Bartl 2010-07-23 07:24:18 UTC
2.11.5 works, thx!

Comment 69 Tim Taiwanese Liim 2010-07-23 14:09:46 UTC
Re: Comment #66
John,
Thanks for info.  I tried the same yum update ...  last night, and it
worked this time.  Apparently 2.11.5 reached update-testing repo
between 7/18 and 7/22.

Yes, it worked!  Right before update, gthumb-2.11.3-1.fc13.i686 still
had core dump immediately after start.  After update, no more core
dump, BUT now 2.11.5-1 got stuck (for >8 hours) in the "Loading..." 
stage in one of my directories.  Well, that will be addressed in
another bug.  For now, no more core dump!

I added the worked comment to the page pointed to in Comment #42.
