It is somewhat discomforting that an error in gnusound terminates the
Gnome session. I looked into this and found that gnusound defines an
elaborate signal handler, probably with the intention to save as much of
the user's ongoing work as possible. The code is contained in the
emergency.c module.
TEST CASE:
Under some configurations, gnusound crashes on startup when compiled with
optimization (as usual for a release build). No window appears, the error
message is *** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/bin/gnusound.real
terminated. If you experience this phenomenon you can test the
Thank you , Alexey Kotlyarov, I think this was the information I needed.
After downloading build-dep gnusound I was able to compile gnusound
(well, I had to remove a couple of GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, otherwise it
would not compile).
The problem obviously is the one Jon Hornstein discovered on
I downloaded the source code for gnusound-0.7.5 a couple of days ago but
could not get it to build because I lacked too many source packages it
depends on, and could not find a list of dependencies. But I can see
that in line 797 of draw.c there is still that constant 128 mentioned by
Jon

gnusound crashes X session immediately on launch (Affects Intrepid, Jaunty,
Karmic)
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2. The problem still exists there.
Starting gnusound crashes... whatever, going back to the login dialogue.
Starting it from a terminal rather than from the menu it just crashes
(buffer overflow detected). BTW, this is a new computer, not the one

As I mentioned I had to install 8.04 as 9.10 would not display anything
and 9.04 did not support my network card (on the live CD, at least).
Hoping that an upgrade from 8.04 would preserve my network card driver I
ventured that upgrade (using update manager). Ubuntu 8.10 seems to have

Public bug reported:
I used to be running Ubuntu 9.10 on a notebook computer with a secondary
screen. Several weeks ago the primary monitor (the notebook screen)
started refusing to display anything, not even the bootloader (grub)
menu. (It did, however, switch on and off the backlights while
Thanks for the fix; in the last three or four weeks the freeze occurred
only three times on my notebook. As it used to occur regularly once per
day on the first boot after switching on, that is a great improvment.
I seem no longer to be able to use the notebook screen, only the
secondary screen,
Ubuntu (9.10) today gave me a new kernel, and now gnusound does not crash the X
(or Gnome?) session any more.
Gnusound itself still does not work, it outputs a *** buffer overflow detected
***: /usr/bin/gnusound.real terminated and displays an empty window. But the
stabler Gnome session is
(gnome-at-visual
-s) that made the difference. For nearly I week I have had it deacivated, with
all the others back on, and the problem has not occurred since.
No idea if that helps anybody else but myself...

Saluton, I have found a way to get around my variant of the problem: On login,
my system would start an instance of update-notifier with startup-delay=60,
and during the first minute my system always was stable. So I deactivated this
bupdate-notifier/b, and since then I haven't had the problem
Saluton, I have a quite similar problem but with a few extra boundary
conditions. No idea if it's really the same but maybe it can shed some light on
the cause.
I used to run 8.4 on my notebook without major problems. When I bought a
1920x1080 pixel screen and used it at home I started having
If it helps I can confirm that GNUsound (Ubuntu 9.04; I cannot handle
those complicated names) crashes my X session when launched from the
menu but NOT when started inside a shell (without any options; maybe the
launcher menu specifies some). GNUsound itself, however, crashes after
