[Bug 1307746] Re: pitivi crashed with SIGSEGV in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock()

 

I have a test version you can test on 14.04 LTS:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pitivi

You can revert to the old version with:
sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa

I tested it and imported some ogg video and produced webm out of it
successfully. It also didn't break anything in that VM where pitivi
worked even originally. It still does have some problem drawing the
timeline, though, and patches in Debian didn't seem to fix the issue for
me so I didn't include them.

Testing would be welcome, even though the fixes should be first pushed
to 14.10 - the problem is that 14.10 has another crasher bug #1377804 so
even if this fix would be uploaded there, pitivi would still crash in
14.10. A somewhat functional version in 14.04 LTS might be worth it,
though.

Title:
  pitivi crashed with SIGSEGV in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock()

Status in PiTiVi , Non-linear video editor:
  Expired
Status in “pitivi” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) yesterday, and pitivi
  stopped working. It segfaults immediately, with the following stdout
  error:

  lmilano@grisell:crash$ pitivi
  Missing soft dependency:
  - pycanberra not found on the system
      -> enables sound notifications when rendering is complete
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  Apport is not popping up, even if I launch pitivi from the main menu
  in KDE. But it did, just once, and it dumped a report in /var/crash -
  I will try to upload that file manually.
