[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1479715] Re: Crash due to fd leak when playing sounds in pidgin
Okay got my dev pc back and tested this. The test case in the description is passing with the wily-proposed package, 2.10.11-0ubuntu4.1 Had to adjust the fd limit i originally suggested for the test to be more reliable - 20 was a bit too low and was sometimes failing during startup even, so I used 40 instead - but it always returns to the original number so there's no leak. Also tested in combination with the new gstreamer packages, and in a VM with no sound - I think that covers every known fd leak source.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1479715] Re: Crash due to fd leak when playing sounds in pidgin
I haven't had access to my dev computer for a few weeks so I couldn't test that wily-proposed package yet. I would appreciate if someone else did - the test case in the description is fairly easy to set up, IMO. However, note that bug #1529445 is not the same thing as this bug - the wily-proposed package won't fix this. This bug is about a very specific fd leak introduced in ubuntu patches to pidgin 2.10.11. In wily this should be fixed with the attached patch. In xenial, by upgrading to 2.10.12 and removing those local gstreamer 1.0 patches. The other bug is about completely different gstreamer fd leaks that in rare situations may have the same effect with pidgin. The gstreamer leaks are less frequent. The ones from this bug happen on every sound that is played. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1479715 Title: Crash due to fd leak when playing sounds in pidgin Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding pidgin.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1479715] Re: Crash due to fd leak when playing sounds in pidgin
Created bug 1529445, which is about a different fd leak in gstreamer 1.6.0 itself that can result in the exact same crash in pidgin as this bug. It's not as straightforward as this bug in that it doesn't leak constantly for all users, but requires, for example, not having a sound card or some other error to play sounds (that's two different reports from users who got crashes). Mentioning this here mostly because until today I thought this was yet another bug in pidgin that wasn't fixed, but no, it's a problem in gstreamer. Or rather, ubuntu in general, which doesn't do SRUs of bugfix-only releases until someone decides to point out that it's critical enough. *sigh*. Don't mind me, it's like 4am and I feel like I wasted most of my day with this dumb issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1479715 Title: Crash due to fd leak when playing sounds in pidgin Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding pidgin.

This problem was most recently seen with version 1:2.10.11-0ubuntu4, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/7470d12c4e88f72501f718f2e8fd6469b2cb650f contains more details. Upstream bug: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/16752 Partial backtrace: #0 0x7f0e72819b24 in g_source_attach (source=source@entry=0x0, context=0x0) at /build/glib2.0-ajuDY6/glib2.0-2.46.1/./glib/gmain.c:1163 #1 0x7f0e74b848b8 in gst_bus_add_watch_full_unlocked (bus=, priority=, func=0x56004c7ceeb0 , user_data=0x56004e00aa40, notify=0x0) at gstbus.c:885 #2 0x7f0e74b849e0 in gst_bus_add_watch_full (bus=0x7f0e14009260 [GstBus], priority=0, func=0x56004c7ceeb0 , user_data=0x56004e00aa40, notify=0x0) at gstbus.c:936 #3 0x56004c7cfb3a in pidgin_sound_play_file (filename=) at /build/pidgin-hiYwOJ/pidgin-2.10.11/./pidgin/gtksound.c:543 #4 0x56004c7cf927 in pidgin_sound_play_event (event=PURPLE_SOUND_SEND) at /build/pidgin-hiYwOJ/pidgin-2.10.11/./pidgin/gtksound.c:616 [Impact] * Each sound played will leak a file descriptor. * Crash (null pointer dereference) after playing sounds roughly 1000 times (depending on fd limit) * Depending on the amount of activity, this can mean every few hours for some users (it's once for each received or sent message) [Test Case] 1. Set the file descriptor limit low enough to be able to login, plus a few extra. "ulimit -Sn 20" works for me 2. Start pidgin 3. Tools menu -> preferences -> sounds tab 4. Click "preview" 10 times or so 5. Acquire crash [Regression Potential] * The fix consists in adding two lines, returning FALSE when a sound finishes playing or when an error happens, which tells gstreamer to free those file descriptors, so it's highly unlikely that this could make things worse. * A user who reported this bug yesterday was given a .deb file with the fix, who also distributed that fixed .deb to other 50 users who also had the issue in ubuntu wily. Everyone is happy now. [Other Info] * This fix will be included in pidgin 2.10.12, set to release very soon. * The bug originally happened because of the backported gstreamer 1.0 patch that was also introduced in post-2.10.11 development versions.
