app refuses to launch in lubuntu or ubuntu 12.04

[Felipe Simmons]

i have tried installing from launch pad and directly from the ppa via terminal. beatbox 0.4 works fine on both ubuntu and lubuntu 12.04 but beatbox 0.5 wont launch and just crashes but does not mention a error unless i dont know how to find the error message

[Victor Martinez (victored)]

Most crashes on BeatBox are provoked by Granite, since the logger functions are not thead-safe. I believe it is fixed in the latest versions of the library.

On a side note, I have mixed feelings about confirming this bug. I mean, it happens but it's not BeatBox's fault anyway.

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Victor, it may not be related to that.

Felipe, can you help provide a strack trace using gdb?

For gdb see part 1.2 at http://www.unknownroad.com/rtfm/gdbtut/gdbuse.html.

Then, when the program crashes and gdb prompts you, type in 'bt' and hit enter. This will print out some information. Paste this information here and that will help me fix it.

Thanks!

[Felipe Simmons (felipesimmons)]

ok dont know if this is any help to you guys ? im not blaming beatbox 100% this could be my computer potentially so if u guys can help me fix it then thats cool otherwise if it is beatbox then hopefully it can be fixed also.

(beatbox:7732): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_ref_sink: assertion `GST_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

then i get "the application beatbox has closed unexpectedlly" asking me if i wanna send an error report etc. im very new to terminal so sorry if i have done something wrong please point me in the right direction. thankyou

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Copy and Paste ALL of the output, even from the start all the way to the end. The more the better.

Did you use gdb? Make sure you do.

[Felipe Simmons (felipesimmons)]

this is all i get i try to type bt as u said nothing happens

harvey@harvey-desktop:~$ prompt> gdb BeatBox
modglue::ext_process::determine_path_: executable BeatBox not found
harvey@harvey-desktop:~$ prompt> gdb beatbox

�'harvey@harvey-desktop:~$ bt

harvey@harvey-desktop:~$

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Hmmm I wonder why gdb isn't working properly. Try running 'gdb -ex run --args beatbox'.

[Felipe Simmons (felipesimmons)]

i get this

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Ok so gdb worked that time. It looks like you have looots of missing packages somehow. There is currently a fix that should be in the ppa fairly soon for indicator and unity.

But, to find the true cause of the error, when it says '(gdb)' at the end there is where you type in 'bt' and hit enter. That should print a bunch of stuff out. Copy/paste that here along with all the other text (like you did above) and that should be enough to fix it.

[Felipe Simmons (felipesimmons)]

not sure why i would be missing packages but would be cool to fix it. anyways heres the thing u wanted i think

Ok, so the back trace (bt) is bigger than I thought it would be. At the end of the back trace, you'll see that you can press enter for more. If you could do the exact same thing again but at the end press enter until the whole back trace is printed out, it would be very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks. It is possible that this is fixed in rev622 if you want to try that (or let me know if the error looks different).

[Felipe Simmons (felipesimmons)]

ok how do i try rev622 ?

[Felipe Simmons (felipesimmons)]

i only see Rev618 on the launchpad website how do i get a copy of rev622 ?

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Update using the update manager.
