[Bug 371147] Re: firefox: crashes on viideo stream with pulse.c:200: pulse_new: Assertion `p-context' failed.
@Tpugliese - that's an unreliable workaround at best, and at worst it stops us from finding what's causing this.

Re: [Bug 371147] Re: firefox: crashes on viideo stream with pulse.c:200: pulse_new: Assertion `p-context' failed.
I would say it is pretty reliable. Deleting the ~/.pulse directory fixed the problem on two systems for me. Make sure firefox is closed when deleting the files and it will clear up the crash. I have no idea why it works, nor do I particularly care. I passed along the workaround for anyone else who, like me, had a broken system and wanted it fixed. My setup quit working after a power failure so I speculate that it may be related to file corruption in some file in the .pulse directory. It could also be related to having FF 3.0 and 3.5 installed simultaneously.

I did a 'rm -fr ~/.pulse*' for all users which fixed the problem on my machine. see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274577 -- firefox: crashes on viideo stream with pulse.c:200: pulse_new: Assertion `p-context' failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The lines in question that are the problem are:
if ((m-ptr = mmap(NULL, m-size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, (off_t) 0)) == MAP_FAILED) {
pa_log(mmap() failed: %s, pa_cstrerror(errno));
goto fail;
}
It should be easy enough to check to see if shared memory is in use,
just run:
mount | grep shm
If you get something like the following, then it's enabled:
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

The more I look at this, the more I think there is a problem with the function pa_context_new(). How do we move this one forward? I guess if it really should be fixed upstream look at their bugtracker (see first if it is already fixed) and file a bug there [1].

You can get around this by using the pulse server. The error message suggests that the problem is in the shm module and the server doesn't use shared memory.

I have the same problem, but when I mark pulse audio for removal, Synaptic Package Manager says it will also remove ubuntu-desktop. I don't think that would be a good idea. Any suggestions?

You can go ahead and remove ubuntu-desktop, it won't have any noticable affect. I have done it on two machines so far. Other packages may re-add ubuntu-desktop, which may re-add pulse, then you will just have to remove it again.
