[resolved] gthumb segfaulting

[galen]

anyone have gthumb working on MX?
it is my goto for video & photo viewing, image cropping

[asqwerth]

I have it installed, but I've not used it for a while and won't get home for another 6 hours. I can only check tonight.

As far as I know, I've not had problems with it in the past.

You are running MX17/18, right?

I installed it, opened a picture with it and it worked fine, then I uninstalled it.

[asqwerth]

No problem with my gthumb, even after applying the last few days' updates.

Please paste the output of

Code: Select all

inxi -r

apt policy gthumb

Do you mean those old .mov format files, or is that just shorthand for movie file?

Do you have the gstreamer 1.0 good, bad, and ugly plugin packages installed?

Can you upload or give us a link to a file that you can't play? I can play these sample files in it: https://file-examples.com/index.php/sam ... -download/

old .mov files yes
and .flv .mkv
none of the demos .mov s display the video only the audio
gthumbs info shows the acodec but not the vcodec
it will show info and display MPEG-1 VP9 THEO

the machine has a slew gstreamer 1.0 libs installed good bad ugly

did
# ldconfig -v |grep gstream

could gthumb be looking for gstream 0.10 plugins?

[Stevo]

From your obs-studio thread, it seems you have a broken multimedia setup. So fixing that will fix gthumbs.

[galen]

since my MX got borked I've reinstalled to MX18.3-64
codecs are being picked up
but there are the occasional gthumb lockup

note: my SSD drive (Crucial make) as acting up by freezing and hard resetting , no doubt this was causing issues across the OS including poor wifi performance
