Noise crashes with gee_linked_list_real_get: assertion failed: (_tmp1_ < _tmp2_)

[Cody Smith]

Noise crashes on startup (and this bug has not been reported as far as I can tell) with gee_linked_list_real_get: assertion failed: (_tmp1_ < _tmp2_)

This has only started happening with the last update to Noise.

Steps to repeat this:

1. Completely update Noise
2. Delete Noise's config files
3. Start Noise

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday too. I think I may have figured out the problem.

Set all the settings back to default in noise through dconf-editor (/org/pantheon/noise) and everything should be great again.

I hope this helps you out.

Woops! It seems I spoke too soon. It has happened twice again since doing the dconf "fix".

This time though, I figured out you don't have to revert back to default every single setting in /org/pantheon/noise. Just go to /org/pantheon/noise/settings and change last-media-playing and last-media-position to 0. It'll start up again.

I hope the developers can figure what's happening with noise and fix it.

I'm confident they will.

Removing a playlist will also trigger this exception, probably because of how the signals are connected. It seems like the remove_playlist methods goes into an eternal loop until an index out of bounds occures in the LocalLibrary.

Adding something like this at the beginning remove_playlist method in LocalLibrary:

   stdout.printf("Trying to remove %d and have %d playlists\n", id, _playlists.size);

Will produce the following output when trying to remove a single playlist:

  Trying to remove 4 and have 5 playlists
  Trying to remove 4 and have 4 playlists
  **
  ERROR:linkedlist.c:946:gee_linked_list_real_remove_at: assertion failed: (_tmp1_ < _tmp2_)
  Aborted (core dumped)

I know why this happens, you can expect a fix next week when I'll be back from holidays ;)

Noise is also crashing on me with this when I launch it. http://pastebin.com/vJRTtKig

Quickfix for the most people: run this in terminal "gsettings reset org.pantheon.noise.settings last-media-playing"
