PenguinTV crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke()

[Thilo-Alexander Ginkel]

Binary package hint: penguintv

The crash happened on first use of PenguinTV in Kubuntu 7.10 Beta. Starting PenguinTV was sufficient to trigger it - the UI did not even come up.

When starting PenguinTV on the command line, I get:

tg@andromeda:~$ PenguinTV
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
gecko proxy settings up to date
initializing mozilla in /usr/lib/firefox
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm seeing this problem as well.

Same here on Kubuntu 7.10 fresh install.

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy.

In my case this solution works :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/penguintv/+bug/131958/comments/18

$ PenguinTV
gecko proxy settings up to date
initializing mozilla in /usr/lib/firefox
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox
$ export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox

Now PenguinTV doesn't segfault anymore :

$ PenguinTV
gecko proxy settings up to date
initializing mozilla in /usr/lib/firefox
no gstreamer player to get

jaunty ships with 3.6.5-0ubuntu3, so I'm marking this as fix released.
please correct me if I'm wrong
