Installation Error gstreamer liboiltest.c in Breezy Colony 2

[reh4c]

On my Fujitsu FMV-biblo Loox T5/53W (transmeta processor), I get the following error
for any package that contains gstreamer when installing Breezy Colony 2 :
"OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 247: (): illegal instruction in idct8x8s16_mmx"
I'm just a newbie, so I have no idea what this means. Hopefully, I wrote down the
syntax correctly.

Hi,

Confirmed on my laptop. I get these messages with most of (or all)
gstreamer0.8-* packages.

totem-gstreamer was starting ok, but I could test whether it work (no video file
right now)

Maybe the severity should be changed to major ?

Same errors still exist with Breezy Colony 3. I saw the errors in the terminal window after running
auto updates after the initial install. I've always had problems with the gstreamer libraries and
being able to play DVDs. Much better results with xine and totem.

No need to up the severity; according to the author of the code, it is merely a
warning:

<ds> oh right
<ds> prod me until I release a new version of liboil
<dilinger> ds: is that something to be concerned about?
<ds> no
<ds> it's merely a warning
<dilinger> or will it just fall back to the non-optimized version
<dilinger> ok
<ds> yup
<dilinger> ds: will the new version simply drop the warning?
<ds> no, I fixed the code :)

Ubuntu might want to consider commenting out the error (or calling OIL_LOG
instead of OIL_ERROR) for breezy, if ds doesn't get around to releasing a new
version of liboil prior to release.

(fyi, people running VIA Samuel 2 cpus will get the error as well)

severity minor: just a warning, that should probably be indicated it's a warning
from upstream.

ds released a new version:

http://www.schleef.org/liboil/download/liboil-0.3.3.tar.gz

I'm assuming this fixes the problem.

Confirmed bug on my laptop too, which I am apt-get dist-upgrade'ing from Hoary
to Breezy (preview) just now. I still get the following error/message from
gstreamer-0.8-x packages.

OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 247: (): illegal instruction in idct8x8_s16_mmx

This might be because I'm still in Hoary, and using the liboiltest still
installed in Hoary. Has this bug been fixed? Perhaps the bug should be closed?

  I got the same errors when upgrading my Thnkpad 570 on Oct 12, 2005. This
uses a Pentium 2 at 366 MHz.

[Danny Sauer (ubuntu-bugzilla-dannysauer)]

I also just saw this on my (mmx-enabled P2-233) Thinkpad with the released Breezy.

I got this error doing a dapper upgrade today:

Setting up gstreamer0.8-hermes (0.8.11-6ubuntu1) ...
OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 368: oil_test_check_impl(): function fbCompositeSolid_nx8888mmx in class composite_over_argb_const_src failed check (65536 > 100) outside=0

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

does somebody still get this problem on latest dapper?

[reh4c (gene-hoffler)]

No problem here. Thanks to whoever solved it. Anyone else?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Thanks for reporting back. Reopen if it still occurs with newest Dapper.
