Public bug reported: I was able to reproduce this on multiple 11.10 machines.
Steps to reproduce: Boot new instance in ec2, run the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php5-ffmpeg php5-cli sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart cd /var/www sudo chown ubuntu . curl -LO http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2 tar xvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2 cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ php test_ffmpeg.php The last line of output will be "Segmentation fault". Test using a browser: curl -v http://localhost/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/test_ffmpeg.php The final few lines of curl output will be: frame count = 0 frame rate = 0.000 fps * transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining * Closing connection #0 curl: (18) transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining And if you look at /var/log/apache2/error.log, the relevant line will be: child pid 3118 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) By disabling various functions in the test_ffmpeg.php script, I have found that the problematic functions are: getComment() getTitle() getAuthor() getCopyright() Calling any of those four functions will cause a segfault. ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-16-CA-2D:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-16-CA-2D:~$ apt-cache policy php5-ffmpeg php5-ffmpeg: Installed: 0.6.0-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 0.6.0-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 0.6.0-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-16-CA-2D:~$ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: php5-ffmpeg 0.6.0-2ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 3.0.0-14.23-virtual 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-virtual x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Mar 22 06:22:44 2012 Ec2AMI: ami-4fa37426 Ec2AMIManifest: ubuntu-us-east-1/images/ubuntu-oneiric-11.10-amd64-server-20120108.manifest.xml Ec2AvailabilityZone: us-east-1c Ec2InstanceType: m1.small Ec2Kernel: aki-825ea7eb Ec2Ramdisk: unavailable ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ffmpeg-php UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: ffmpeg-php (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug ec2-images oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961896 Title: segfault when using metadata functions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg-php/+bug/961896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
