gstreamer crashes apps...

Hi everyone…I have a problem with pidgin,elisa and brasero…
Every time I try to start them ,they crashe with the following error:
ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstladspa.so

Please either:

  • remove it and restart.
  • run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.
    I reinstalled gstreamer but nothing changed.
    Is there any way to baypass this problem??
    Google didnt help me find something…:’(:’(
    I’m using opensuse 11.1…
    Thanks for your help…

What version of Pidgin are you using?

I had a similar problem recently with Pidgin and Gstreamer. My particular problem was caused by the priority number of the update repo being set to 20 (live CD install of 11.1 KDE 4.2.3). I overcame the problem by setting the priority number to 99 and then I did an update all, which pulled in some updated Gstreamer packages from Packman. After that, everything worked just fine.

Thanks for your reply…
Pidgin is 2.5.6 and gstreamer-bad-plugin is installed from the packman repo…
Do you have any other suggestion?

rpm -qa | grep -i gstreamer

Post the results here. Alternative just remove the -bad package.

rpm gives me this:

if i try to remove gstreamer-bad,it gives me dependecies problems and i have to remove all the programs related to gstreamer-bad like elisa and brasero…

Yep, you have mixed packages - for example the good should have .pm in it (packman) and so forth.

You could go to YAST, Package Management there, search for gstreamer and install the pm versions for those that have them available in the Versions tab.

You could also try (as root or with root privileges through su - ):

zypper ref
zypper up
zypper ve

also
zypper in gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good
should pull the .pm version (and other dependencies)

I update all gstreamer packages to pm version…
But still same error at pidgin ,brasero , exaile…
:(:’(:frowning:

As you can see, my plugins are all from the same vendor - Packman. I’m not saying having different plugins from different vendors is the problem, but it might be.

rpm -qa | grep -i gstreamer

Everything from packman repo…

The only way to run these pros is deleting gstreamer-plugins-bad ignoring the dependecies problem that create this unistall.
Dont know if that is safe but is the only way i found…
Thanks for you replies…

Uninstalling software and ignoring dependencies is an extremely poor idea that will cause you issues in the long run (and most likely in the short run to be honest) and the system will restore the dependency the next time you’re verifying things or one of the packages upgrades.

A much better solution is to figure out what is causing the conflict, one obvious solution might be to switch to “Novell” supplied gstreamer packages completely if that is an option.

I know but i’m dealing with that problem for months…
How can I pass to novell gstreamer?

I’m gonna see if I can somehow replicate your issue on my installation, this might take a while tho’ as I have to switch between different packages.

There is no problem…take your time…
thanks a lot

Anyone find anything???It’s getting more and more frustrating…Neither amsn works now…

I have the same problem as tekos. Arghhhh! All I want is to have a working webcam while chatting with my friends on msn. Tried using kopete and kmess. No go for either.

I had the same problem when I installed and tried to run exaile (my favorite player when I used Ubuntu). I followed earlier advice about getting all the gstreamer plugins from one source, ie packman, and that seemed to do the trick for me.
