Description Michael Olson 2002-05-23 17:17:43 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper: 
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux) 
 
Description of problem: 
SDL apps crash with 
 
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding 
pure virtual function called 
 
I am running under KDE 3.0, with a Sound Blaster Live! (emu10k1.o), occurs with arts on or off. 
Problem seems to be with SDL attempting to use arts for sound output. I worked around the 
problem by rebuilding SDL-1.2.3-7 without SDL-1.2.3-prefersounddaemons.patch and with the 
--disable-arts option passed to 
configure. Everything seems to work fine after that. Did not have a problem under 7.2 
 
The problem turned up with enigma (http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/enigma/) and circuslinux 
1.0.3 or 1.0.1 (from the RH7.1 PowerTools)  
 
http://www.cs.odu.edu/~olson/linux/circuslinux-1.0.3-1jag.i386.rpm 
http://www.cs.odu.edu/~olson/linux/circuslinux-1.0.3-1jag.src.rpm 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
Assuming the base SDL-1.2.3-7 RPM and circuslinux-1.0.3-1jag installed 
1. Fire up KDE 3.0 
2. From a konsole run circuslinux  
3. *Boom* 
  
 
Actual Results:  mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding 
pure virtual function called 
 
Expected Results:  I should win 15 levels of circus linux. (Although I rarely do...)

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-09-12 11:50:51 UTC
This is not reproducable here. 
I do get the mcop warning (which is right, SDL does have its own signal 
handling), but every SDL application works well after giving the warning. 
 
Can you still reproduce this if you use a supported X driver?
