Bug#915321: Mutex creation failed

2018-12-02 Thread Theodore Lytras
Package: libc6
Version: 2.28-1
Severity: critical

Just after updating libc6 from 2.27-8 to 2.28-1 in Debian Unstable, loading 
package "httpuv" in R leads to a crash:

   bones@equinox2:~$ R
   
   R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) -- "Feather Spray"

   > library(httpuv)
   terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
 what():  Mutex creation failed
   Ακυρώθηκε
   bones@equinox2:~$ 

From the message I understand this is directly related to libc6 and not R or 
httpuv. 
Also, there was no update to R or httpuv done recently. The problem started 
just as I updated libc6.

Kernel version is 4.18.0-3-amd64.
Please tell me if any other information is needed to help identify the bug.



Bug#831825: gcompris: Crash when i click on menu

2016-07-22 Thread Theodore Lytras
I get the exact same crash, under sid amd64. 
It seems to have something to do with the sound. 

When the game starts it plays the intro music. As long as the music plays, I 
can click wherever I want with no crash. When the music finishes, if I click 
on anything (not just the menu) the game crashes. Now if I turn off both music 
and sounds while the intro music plays, then I can play without problems. If 
music or sounds are turned on again, then the game crashes on first click.

Therefore it has something to do with the sound. 
I also tried installing package canberra-gtk-module, to no effect.

I should also mention that my machine has no pulseaudio (only ALSA) and the 
sound chip is a realtek alc892. On another debian sid amd64 machine, with 
intel sound chip + pulseaudio, this bug is not reproduced. I didn't try 
installing pulseaudio on my first machine to see whether it makes any 
difference (why should it?)...



Bug#806518: (no subject)

2015-11-28 Thread Theodore Lytras
I can confirm this bug, on amd64 sid.

Downgrading package libept1.4.16 from version 1.0.14+b2 (in sid) to 1.0.14+b1 
(which is in testing) solved the problem for me.
