Description Jon Masters 2010-09-15 02:17:36 UTC

Description of problem:

The latest gnome-volume-control-applet in rawhide crashes after clicking on it a couple of times, then right clicking (for example). When using it, it also does not correctly set the sound, though this might be pulseaudio at fault. The problem seems to occur in gtk_device_grab_remove when removing a GtkVScale widget (perhaps this is the horizonal slider?), then hits a busted pointer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-media-2.31.5-5.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to desktop wherein a volume control widget is running
2. Click on he widget a couple of times, adjust the sound, right click, etc.
3. Crash. Results vary when being traced or at different times.
  
Actual results:

Widget crashes, cannot control sound.

Expected results:

Ability to set the sound to a desired output level. To turn the sound on, or to turn the sound off, like on other Operating Systems.

Comment 2 Jon Masters 2010-11-09 01:05:33 UTC

This is still not working, but now doesn't even launch. I have discovered in gdb that this app will now only launch if you start it with --debug due to a check on line 80 in the startup code. But even when you do start it, there is not icon now.

Comment 3 Jon Masters 2010-11-09 01:30:39 UTC

Starts fine with pulseaudio removed completely from the system. I wonder if this is a DBUS problem, since there was a DBUS error as part of the backtrace on startup. For now, I've just removed pulseaudio and filed a separate bug against gnome-bluetooth to make sure its dependency on pulse is also fixed.
