sory my internet connection has gone four days ago. Anyway, vlc does not crash when i running it with valgrind but it crashed with strace and gdb. Here all debug outputs.

[capacman (achalil)]

When i debug it with valgring,it did not crash. Then i just close the program, but i post the output ,maybe it can help.

Is this using the DVD (menus) option, as bug #50857 covers this, which has been fixed in Edgy.

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

In fact, I upgraded to Edgy today, and can confirm this bug. I get a slightly different GDB output. This is only when using the DVD (menus option), so the bug I reported (Bug #50857) has not been fixed.

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

Sorry, I am also on AMD64.

[Alessandro Polverini (polve)]

I can confirm the problem on edgy, AMD64 version.
vlc 0.8.6-svn20060823.debian-3ubuntu1
libdvdnav4 version 0.1.9-3

I tried playing an unprotected DVD via VLC - DVD (menus) option on my AMD x64 + up to date as of noon 10/1/2006 Edgy.

[Jaakan Shorter (jaakanshorter)]

here is my output from dmesg

[50811.419804] hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[50811.419812] hdc: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

The dmesg output looks extremely suspicious (i.e., hardware error). Can you play audio CDs using vlc?

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

I also get this, and the only mention in the dmesg output is:
[ 1208.090791] wxvlc[7855]: segfault at ffffffffb30e3803 rip 00002aaab0238937 rsp 0000000043004750 error 4

See report ...

Newly installed 6.10 Ubuntuu on my AMD64 processor caused the attached fault when trying to play DVD using VLC (installed via applications> add/remove

[James Tait (jamestait)]

Freshly-burned DVD of a friend's wedding (so no CSS etc) caused VLC to crash with the message:

Feb 8 17:03:51 ferrari kernel: [326815.987262] vlc[15097]: segfault at ffffffffb2b19803 rip 00002aaaafd56937 rsp 0000000043004750 error 4

in /var/log/syslog. Crash dump (sadly without debug symbols) attached -- I'll check the link above and see if I can get one with symbols.

I can also verify, for an encrypted, menued dvd with AMD64. Also, Totem gave me "could not read from resource" on this dvd. Also, VLC crashes on a menu-less, non-encrypted dvd, and doesn't even offer to make a bug report.

[Vlad Kozlovskyy (dbdeveloper)]

Also for dvd (menus) with 86_64 (Amd64). Disk is not encrypted. This disk plays fine using DVD w/o menus option.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Alessandro Polverini (polve)]

This it no more relevant since Feisty I think. I close it.
