From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Recently all of sudden on login to Gnome I started getting messages of "eggcups can't start" and "gnome-volume-manager" can't start. I don't know if these are related, but the first time I saw these error I got a message error about gnome-volume-control applet crashing. Then it asked me if I wanted to try reloading the applet, I said yes but I had no luck. Then I tried to load gnome-volume-manager from a terminal, it give me the following message when I try to load it: gnome-volume-control ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstalsa.so Please either: - remove it and restart. - run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug. This is bizzare, and I'm sure why this is happening. Help! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not sure what caused the crashing in the first place, used to work fine 2. 3. Additional info:
Try running prelink on it: prelink /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstalsa.so (as root)
I ran prelink as you suggested and not gnome-volume-control works properly. Do I have to do this each time I restart or should it be okay now? Would this be a result of installing packages like rhythmbox-xine and totem-xine from freshrpms? Cause this seemed to have started happening after I installed those packages. I also upgraded the kernel around that time so maybe that caused some things to be unlinked (?). Weird. Thanks for the fix!
Sorry, I meant gnome-volume control works properly now (not not as I said above).
It's a prelink bug, hopefully an update will come out soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140081 ***
