Package: gnomemeeting Version: 1.2.1-1 Severity: normal
I setup gnomemeeting with the default settings for my webcam. I have a Phillips Quickcam 3000 Pro and I built the pwc driver using the qc-usb-source package. v4l2 was selected by default, and I was able to successfully run all tests for audio & video. At first I was able to see a horizontal and vertical red &green lines. When i restarted gnomemeeting I immediately began getting the segmentation faults. The exact error is : lib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x724)! Segmentation fault This error apparently was caused by the use of v4l2 which have been told is an experimental and unstable package. What I don't understand is why this was chosen by default. After uninstalling libpt-plugins-v4l2 the segmentation faults stopped and I was able to successfully setup gnomemeeting with v4l. The video is perfect just as it was in camstream. Shouldn't the user at least be warned that v4l2 is unstable, and why isn't v4l used as the default? Doesn't it work with most webcams? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gnomemeeting depends on: ii gconf2 2.8.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libbonobo2-0 2.8.1-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2- 2.8.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libebook8 1.0.4-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserve 1.0.4-1 Utily library for evolution data s ii libesd0 0.2.35-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.8.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.8.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanva 2.8.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.8.1-3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2- 2.8.4-4 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libldap2 2.1.30-8 OpenLDAP libraries ii libopenh323-1 1.15.3-2 H.323 aka VoIP library ii liborbit2 1:2.12.2-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libpt-1.8.3 1.8.4-1 Portable Windows Library ii libpt-plugins 1.8.4-1 Portable Windows Library Audio Plu ii libpt-plugins 1.8.4-1 PWLib Video Plugin for IEEE1394 (F ii libpt-plugins 1.8.4-1 PWLib Video Plugin for IEEE1394 (F ii libpt-plugins 1.8.4-1 Portable Windows Library Audio Plu ii libpt-plugins 1.8.4-1 Portable Windows Library Video Plu ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-4.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 X Window System protocol client li ii libxml2 2.6.16-7 GNOME XML library ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime --no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
