This looks like a driver problem... Do you use the RadeonHD or Noveau driver instead of a proprietary driver?
This might also be related to X. Can you install "projectm-dbg" please and run projectM-pulseaudio again? (Maybe this creates a nice backtrace)

[Le Gluon Du Net (legluondunet)]

I'm using nouveau driver and ProjetM worked great with it before.
I installed the projectm-dbg but I obtained no backtrace with bugbuddy, only report.
I tried to launch it with sudo and I obtained a big backtrace, hope this help.

So, where is it? :P (You can also launch projectM-pulseaudio using gdb:
gdb --args projectM-pulseaudio
run
bt full

You need to set the permission of bug #725925 to public, so I can see it .P Hmm, this looks like Noveau or X are causing this error...
Did you install an X update or kernel update before projectM started to crash?

Btw: Can't reproduce this issue with Noveau on my Natty machine...

[Le Gluon Du Net (legluondunet)]

I update natty everyday and the last time I used projectM was 5 days ago.

I just tried with nvidia driver, it crashes too:

$ projectM-pulseaudio
dir:/usr/share/projectM/config.inp
reading ~/.projectM/config.inp
libEGL warning: use software fallback

QEglContext::createContext(): Unable to create EGL context: "Success (0x3000)"

Do I have to open another bug for the nvidia one?

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

I asked upstream for feedback, but this looks like an issue with Qt. (I read Qt has problems with X.org+Gallium a few months ago...)
This bug might also be related to bug #725148

Thanks for reporting this issue!

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Le Gluon Du Net: Could you please update your system again (especially Qt and X) and run projectM-pulseaudio again? It should now be resolved.
