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

 

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Some users are unable to start Pitivi on 14.04 LTS, because of a
+ crasher.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ Start pitivi on affected computer.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The suggested patch that fixes the problem changes the load order in
+ python, which seem fragile then. However at least testing on one
+ computer that did not have the crash originally, the fix doesn't break
+ anything either.
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  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.
