Stopmotion dies with segmentation fault

[Dennis Schulmeister]

Binary package hint: stopmotion

Hi,

On Ubuntu Hardy (AMD64) the program stopmotion (stopmotion 0.6.0-1) dies with a segmentation fault right after program startup.

Thanks a lot,
Dennis

I too have the same problem. what follows is the output when trying to launch from terminal:

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the report. At least you're getting any terminal output at all. If I try the main window flashes up and the terminal only prints "Segmentation fault".

hello
i signed up here just a minute ago.... i am having the same problem.
stopmotion ran fine for weeks and i was able to make a few *.avi's

however this morning, i attempted to edit>copy>paste 2 frames in a movie and stopmotion dropped off the screen and now will not restart. the main window flashes along with a blank window that is titled "Question" then they both die. in a terminal window all i get is "segmentation fault (core dump)".

i re-installed stopmotion and also restarted my computer and still get same results.

i use ubuntu 7.04.

regards.

I have the same problem and the terminal gives me the same output of Todd. Does anybody know how to fix it?
I use Ubuntu Studio 8.04 (amd64).
Thanks.

I also have the same problem. I have ubuntu 8.04 amd64
I try to recompile source package and source (0.6.1) downloaded from the web project and i get the same problem again

[agenthex (hexsmith)]

Can anyone confirm if this problem affects i386 binaries? If not, has anyone tried i386 binaries on an amd64 machine?

[toddwbucy (toddwbucy-grandecom)]

In the interest of getting something done with stopmotion I decided to uninstall the Ubuntu and64 and reinstall Ubuntu i386 since then I have had no problem with stopmotion. As such it seems that this is either a problem with the amd64 binary or the i386 binary when run on a 64 bit kernel. Unfortunately I cannot confirm which it is at the moment.

Hi,

The crash does not happen on amd64 with the newest version (0.6.2). Go get it and have fun! :-)

[agenthex (hexsmith)]

bjoernen, please provide details.

I tried updating synaptic to see if 0.6.2 was available. Nope.

I downloaded the 0.6.2 version from homepage, but only .deb file offered is i386. Used dpkg -i --force-architecture to install. Error indicates that libqt4-gui is not up to date. There is no official update to 4.4.0 in synaptic. Tried --force-all flag, and installed but failed to run. Tried forcing i386 version of 0.6.0, which caused error indicating that it was unable to find libSDL_image.

Gave up. Please help.

[Albin Tonnerre (lutin)]

I just asked for a sync of stopmotion 0.6.2-1from debian, so this should hopefully be fixed in intrepid soon.

Cheers

[Dennis Schulmeister (dennis-schulmeister)]

Hey Albin,

that'd be too great. Can't wait for the sync to happen. So thanks for asking. ;)

Best,
Dennis

Hi everyone,

under hardy's 64bits ubuntu studio, stopmotion 0.6.0-1 crash at the startup with :

laurent@laurent-laptop:~$ stopmotion

ioctl: VIDIOCGMBUF(size=0;frames=0;offsets=0): Argument invalide
Erreur de segmentation

Same trouble as the other users. It's very important for ubuntu and ubuntu studio to find a solution to allow users to access this software, because stopmotion tutorials/sessions are improving a lot in France, and we don't have any useable solutions under ubuntu...

Is it possible to correct the deb package as soon as possible under LTS release ?

[Bellegarde (laurent-bellegarde)]

Hi all,

with chance, i'll visit this page : http://packages.debian.org/sid/stopmotion

and try to install the deb package amd64 into hardy studio 64 bits 8.04.2 RT kernel, it works fine ;-)

An upload to ubuntu repository ?

Hope it helps,

Hi

I had the same problem with stopmotion on an amd64 Ubuntu studio Hardy computer. Now I visited the above page, mentioned by Bellagarde (Laurent), and installed the debian packages, and Stopmotion now works on my machine. I had to make sure that two dependencies were first installed, libqtgui4 and libqtcore4, from the same page.

thanks Laurent!

I'm looking forward to testing this program out.

best,
Steve
