qdvdauthor crashes constantly

[Aldrin Martoq]

Here are some examples:

amartoq@dell-dapper:~$ qdvdauthor
QComboBox::text: (m_pComboFontStyle) Index 0 out of range
QComboBox::setCurrentItem: (m_pComboFontStyle) Index 0 out of range
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08c12068 ***
Aborted
amartoq@dell-dapper:~$ qdvdauthor
QComboBox::text: (m_pComboFontStyle) Index 0 out of range
QComboBox::setCurrentItem: (m_pComboFontStyle) Index 0 out of range
*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x08c11568 ***
Aborted

Version:
ii qdvdauthor 0.1.0-0.0ubuntu2 GUI frontend for dvdauthor and other related tools

Thanks,

I see this too, but not the glibc link error.

[Krešo Kunjas (deresh)]

same here, i will attach crash log. hope it will help

[Charles Roduit (charles-roduit)]

Also here. It seems to crash randomly at each manipulation. Here a log after a crash when I tried to add an image to the menu.

I hope to see this soft working, it seems very interesting to make DVD .

[Fabrizio Balliano (fabrizio-balliano)]

i can't get it to start, it goes in "segmentation fault" before showing anything

[bcollignon (wcollignon)]

same here; I'm a noob with this software, so I can't ascertain as to whether it might have been my fault.

[Uwe Gottschling (uwe-gottschling)]

i can't get it to start

[Taser (arodrigu)]

An additional crash report.

[falsedust (falsedust)]

crashes after trying to create button, add a movie, add a background image.

This bug has more than one different bug. Original bug happened when qdvdauthor was started:
#0 0xb73cdb55 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
 #0 0xb73cdb55 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
 No symbol table info available.
 #1 0xb73cfecd in free () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
 No symbol table info available.

And then there seems to be other crasher bug which happens occasionally after qdvdauthor has successfully started.

[Robin Holt (launchpad-rmholt)]

I believe this may be due to thread issues with multi-processor/hyperthreaded machines. I have reproduced errors similar to this with both types of machines and then disabled all the cpus except cpu0 (echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online) and the problem appears to go away. Could others try this to see if it helps?

I am going to add this same comment to the bug post on the qdvdauthor site.

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

Robin, if you can tell me how then I would be happy to test this. I have an Intel Pentium DuoCore

[Kyller Gorgonio (kyllercg)]

It also happened to me. I was opening it and them I tried to remove some other files with nautilus, them qdvdauthor crashed. I'm sending the crash report.

[Brian Rutland (jbrutland)]

Robin--

I disabled hyperthreading in my system BIOS and the program did not crash during video or image manipulation as it had before. Of course, this is not a permanent solution, but at least the software can be used.

BTW-- I may be using either 1.0.0 or 0.1.5 (I compiled from source using the 1.0.0 tar on the webpage, but it says "0.1.5" in the Help=>About dialog).

[Brian Rutland (jbrutland)]

^Although the program worked better with HT turned off, there were still random crashes from time to time.

[AleksanderAdamowski (aadamowski)]

The 1.0.0-RC1 version should be much more stable - please test the version uploaded to REVU (you'll have to build the binary package yourself):

http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=46

Also, this package will need a UVFe (Upstream Version Freeze exception) to get into Gutsy yet.
If it fixes crashes for you, then it can be probably considered a bugfix...

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

Matvey Kozhev: Why have you marked this as "Fix released"? Is that because 1.1.0RC has been released for Hardy? Please add a comment explaining the change. Thanks.

[Mark Duncan (eattheapple)]

Fix released? Yeah right. I changed this back to Confirmed. I'm trying to create a DVD for my wife's friend and I can't because qdvdauthor crashes constantly. It crashes with "Segmentation Fault" with no debug messages. It crashes inconsistently, but usually after attempting to add a movie to the project. I'm running up to date Ubuntu 9.04 amd64. Unfortunately, in about 10 minutes, I'll be running Windows again because I really need to get this DVD created and I don't know of any easy alternatives in Linux.

[QDVDAuthor (varol)]

Can you add some more information on this ?

Which version are you using ? Do you have the latest CVS build ?

It would be great if you can try with the latest source from CVS and send me a backtrace so I can look into this issue.

Can't reproduce on Lucid.
Closing.

[K8BeBop (kennybob6)]

I am on Lucid () and it still happens. While attempting to create thumbnails it gives this error:

X Error: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection) 14

This is from Ubuntu Synaptic install, versions: 1:2.1.0+dfsg-0ubuntu3 (lucid)

I hope you can make heads or tails out of it, becuz I cant.
