[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 401122] Re: Performous hangs on the main screen

[Lasse Kärkkäinen]

The front() on empty container problem has been fixed in performous
0.3.1. The hang on exit is probably due to a bug in the gstreamer
driver, which is not tested properly. Can you test if this still happens
in 0.3.1 or 0.3.2? If it does, run gdb performous, enter command run and
make the program hang (e.g. by exiting it). Then hit Ctrl+C to break the
program in gdb and get us the backtrace of each thread.

(gdb)thread 1
(gdb)bt
...
(gdb)thread 2
(gdb)bt
... and so on, until there are no more threads (around 8 is the last one).

In particular, we are interested on the two threads where the backtrace
says anything about gstreamer.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: performous

I launch performous and the main screen shows up. I get no sound here, but the real problem is that it occasionally hangs if I press one of the keys S or Q (Start, Quit). Only the C and P keys (Configure and Practice) always work as intended.

Sometimes I'm able to practice a bit, but then it's almost a sure bet it will hang on a key press in the main menu.

Once hung, xkill does not seem to kill it either, it just closes the window, but the performous process is only sensible to a brute kill -9 or other uncaught signals.

If I run performous from the shell I get the following output:

$ performous

and the last lines repeat until I kill performous.
