This is weird. The package libgstreamer0.10-0-dbgsym wasn't available either, so I built it myself. The backtrace (attached here) told me the problem was in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.so which belongs to package gstreamer0.10-plugins-base. So I decided to build them too. But now I can't reproduce the same bug. The visualization worked fine (even if takes hell of a time to start and that it's quite ugly ;)). How could my gstreamer-plugins be corrupted? Were them not updated?
I installed the official repository packages again. It works fine. My only explanation is that I already have another gstreamer-plugins- base package with the same version. How is it possible? I had external repositories but that could be quite a problem if others are in the same situation. Maybe increasing the current version number could solve the problem? I don't have a backup of my previous package by the way (to know where it came from). This PC was upgraded from breezy --> dapper --> edgy --> feisty and I think I gave a try to EasyUbuntu and Automatix at some point, but my codecs were definitely installed using the way the wiki recommended at the time. So all-in-all, it could have been solved with apt-get install --reinstall gstreamer-plugins-base (I think). Which I wouldn't have thought of considering I just had upgraded my whole system. Sorry for the wasted time! (or maybe not, if someone has the same problem) and thanks you for your support. ** Attachment added: "Backtrace with gstreamer (stops at gstreamer-plugins-base)" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7219115/gdb-rhythmbox-libgstreamer.txt -- Rhythmbox crashes when playing a song https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
