Seems that this bug is related to PulseAudio. GCompris' upstream told me that is a bug that has already been reported for Ubuntu, but I cannot find the relevant links. I'll reassign the bug to PA.
Uhh? This is a crash in gdk pixbuf. Unrelated to PA. I am kinda sure this is some kind of memory corruption in gcompris.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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
Problem still persists in gcompris-9.3-1.fc13 ... However it's now much harder to reproduce as the menu screens run a lot more efficiently now.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Hi, I'm the new maintainer of gcompris and going through all open gcompris bugs. gcompris-0.9.3 suffered from some memory corruption problems. And this bug seems to be one of a number of abrt reported bugs caused by these memory corruption problems. Unfortunately bugs like these are very hard to fix and I don't have the time to track this down. Upstream has recently released gcompris-0.9.5, which contains some memory corruption fixes which hopefully fixes this. This is available as an update for all supported Fedora releases (F-13 and F-14). To get this update do: yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing gcompris If you still encounter problems with 0.9.5 please file a new bug with a 0.9.5 generated backtrace attached (through abrt). If this update fixes your problems please login and then give it positive karma here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gcompris-9.5-1.fc13 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gcompris-9.5-1.fc14 Thanks & Regards, Hans
