Description John Griffiths 2008-11-30 23:20:25 UTC
Description of problem:
When the xine-plugin is installed as a plugin in the tar ball release from Mozilla.org it causes Firefox to crash on startup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xine-plugin-1.0.1-4.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox 3.0.4 using firefox-3.0.4.tar.bz2 from Mozilla.
2. Install plugins including xine-plugin
3. Start firefox
  
Actual results:
firefox crashes.

Expected results:
firefox should run and install the xine-plugin

Additional info:
This worked under Fedora 9 and Fedora 8.

As soon as I remove xine-plugin, firefox runs.

All these plugins work.

No joy. Firefox still crashes with xine-plugin-1.0.2-1.fc10 on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5

Comment 9 Martin Sourada 2009-01-02 11:42:43 UTC
It's a little bit wierd bug, this one... With Fedora's firefox (firefox-3.0.5-1.fc10.i386) it works perfectly fine, but with the mozilla's one it produces SIGABRT... I am not sure yet, where the bug actually is.

Comment 10 Martin Sourada 2009-01-08 17:08:44 UTC
I've hopefully bisected where the issue is happening and it looks like xine-lib (more strictly said, the SIGABRT is happeing in xine-lib code, and if you remove xine-lib-extras-freeworld it's happening at slightly different position) is at fault, but for some reason, I cannot reproduce the bug anymore either with mozilla's or fedora's firefox - the buggy function does not get called anymore for some reason...

Comment 11 Herbert Carl Meyer 2009-06-14 17:22:28 UTC
I am getting this error when starting firefox on a freshly upgraded f11. Before applying yum updates, I was getting a similar firefox crash in swfdec. Traceback is attached.

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 09:05:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 14 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 07:03:44 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
