I think I'm seeing the same problem and I was able to analyze it a little bit further. So far
Open a media file by clicking should start totem, which crashes immediately. /var/log/kern.log: totem[12160]: segfault at b0 ip 0808e3aa sp bfb09a70 error 4 in totem-gstreamer[8048000+59000] Starting totem from command line (with or without a file) shows: ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Init of Python module ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance: YouTube+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Creating object of type YouTube+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Init of Python module ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance: PythonConsolePlugin+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Creating object of type PythonConsolePlugin+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Init of Python module ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance: BBCViewer+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Creating object of type BBCViewer+TotemPythonPlugin ** (totem:12240): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance AND runs successfully. I disabled then the above mentioned plugins in the preferences and afterwards totem does also start by opening a media file directly. My interpretation is: during init of python plugins this DEBUG output is made, but when starting by clicking a file there is no tty (or a silenced one), which leads to the crash. As I don't know how to trigger the crash from command line, I don't know how to proceed with gdb. Switching the plugins off is at least a workaround. -- totem crashes immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
