Description of problem: xmms segfaults very early on in the startup process on a vanilla 1.90 box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmms-1.2.9-2.p How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to start 'xmms' from the command line 2. a nice friendly localized message saying "Segmentation fault, file a bug in http://bugs.xmms.org" Additional info: gdb backtrace is very short: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1207774112 (LWP 18492)] 0x00000000 in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x00000000 in ?? ()
I just noted that to trigger this the $HOME/.xmms folder needs to be missing. When I restored my old $HOME the problem went away. To trigger it again i needed to rename my .xmms directory.
Some shotgun recompiling shows that if i exclude the arts (xmms-1.2.8-arts.patch) patch from the rpm this fixes the segfault. Since I don't use arts I won't try to debug this any further :)
