totem won't start with totem-xine engine

[ChrisDesjardins]

Below is the error I get...
chris@ubuntu:~$ totem
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 69 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Hi, which version of libxine-main1 and totem do you have installed?
And on which architecture are you?

[Mark (twistedtexan)]

ubuntu 5.10 breezy
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7
Totem 1.2.0
xine-lib 1.0.1

I did have 1 more problem out of the program but a reboot seemed to
correct it. My computer locked up when I made adjustments to the volume
control on the totem player panel. Remember that this is only after I
first tested Totem with out a restart. I have not had the same problem
again. I would suggest a reboot after installation. I did play 2
different movies but I didn't do that back to back. i.e. I stopped
Totem, installed the second disk, opened Totem and Played the second
movie. Thanks again. I'll keep you informed about any future problems.

So the issue is fixed for you? The lock is probably a linux issue rather than an application one. Should the bug be closed if it works fine for you now?

[joehill (joseph-hill)]

I'm having the same problem. When I try to start totem (totem-xine engine), the totem window appears for a split second then disappears, and I get this on the console:

GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Bonobo accessibility support initialized

  (Details: serial 69 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)

I'm using all the currently updated Dapper packages, which I upgraded to today.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you get a backtrace?
- gdb totem
(gdb) break gdk_x_error
(gdb) run --sync
... crash
(gdb) thread apply all bt

Does it happen when opening it with a movie as argument?

[joehill (joseph-hill)]

I have not problem starting with a movie argument. I only get this problem with mo movie argument.

Here's the backtrace:

Could you please try again and follow the instructions carefully? The

bits are very important.

[joehill (joseph-hill)]

I think this is what I did the first time, but I'm including all my commands so it's more clear what I did. Please tell me if I need to try something else.

It looks like you've used the line '(gdb) break gdb_x_error' rather than '(gdb) break gdk_x_error'.

Touché. Ok, here's another try:

do you have libgtk2.0-0-dbg libglib2.0-0-dbg installed?

Ok, I hope this is more useful--I ran it again with the libraries you suggested installed:

[joehill (joseph-hill)]

Oh, and I forgot to mention--this is from the second try. On the first try, my whole computer froze (black screen with intermittent "wait" cursor) and I had to reboot, which is not uncommon for me when I use totem.

[Gary Coady (garycoady)]

This looks like bug #35229 - and all workarounds on that page work for me.

It would explain why a reboot helped - you freed up memory so that allocating memory for the totem logo worked.

[joehill (joseph-hill)]

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Renaming the .png does prevent it from crashing on startup. In my case, it has never started without an argument regardless of whether I reboot or not. (The X crash I mentioned above seems to be an unrelated bug with the i810 driver.)
