rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_window_has_impl()

[Michael Gratton]

Crash on some kind of keyboard/mouse input combo. Goes away if I disabled the coverart-browser plugin, but possibly a python bindings issue?

Mike can you run a stack trace with the rhythmbox-dbg debug symbols package installed.

This should hopefully give a hint of what issue you are hitting.

At the moment I cannot reproduce your issue.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

also traces such as

rhythmbox -D coverart

and

rhythmbox -d

will also be useful to determine where in the plugin you are hitting this issue.

Rhythmbox itself looks like its having difficulty scanning your music collection - it is choking around this point

 /home/mjg/media/music/Thee Oh Sees/The Oh Sees_The Intelligence/02 Mincing Around The Frocks.mp3

Please backup the folders ~/.cache/rhythmbox and ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/ and all the contents below these folders - you can restore these later.

Then delete those folders

Restart Rhythmbox and but dont import your music collection.

Activate Coverart - does rhythmbox crash? Try restarting and confirm if it crashes or not.

Then repeat - reimport your music collection - does rhythmbox start correctly after activating coverart ?

Attached is the stderr from the following:

1. Execute rhythmbox -d without CoverArt Browser plugins enabled, wait for library to finish loading
2. Enable CoverArt Browser Search provider
3. Enable CoverArt Browser
4. Select the Cover Art source, wait for it to finish loading
5. Click on the first album in the source, Alt-Tab out of RB
6. Crash

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

After backing up and deleting ~/.cache/rhythmbox and ~/.local/share/rhythmbox, then changing the location of my music library to a directory that doesn't exist, then restarting RB I can still get RB to crash when the CoverArt plugins are enabled, after a lot of random mousing around and clicking the CoverArt source however. Nothing in particular is printed to the console on the crash and I can't seem to make it crash when the plugins are disabled with an empty library.

"
Actually, to get it to crash, I need to select an album in the Cover Art source, then cause at least the window to lose focus (Alt-Tab out, click on another app window, etc).

Output from rhythmbox -d is here since it is huge: https://bugs.launchpad.net/coverartbrowser/+bug/1286002/+attachment/4002955/+files/rb-debug.txt

Mike - thanks for your perseverance with this.

In some ways its good that you've managed to reproduce this in a repeatable manner.

However - the bad news is that myself cannot reproduce this with your instructions. Nothing in the traces you have provided indicate where in the code the issue is occurring. It is deep in the GDK stuff which to me looks like a graphics stack issue - Something obviously to do with focus & defocussing + keyboard interaction.

Try changing to artist view - does alt-tab produce the crash? If it still crashes then I'm not convinced this is a plugin issue per-say because the artist view does not have the same graphics code as the album-view ; the problem is a more fundamental graphics issue that should be reproducible with other apps.

Try changing the look of the album view - say from album info underneath the tile to within the tile

Other than that I've not really got much more to add but hoping that a kernel/graphics stack/driver update will resolve your issue in the future.
