[Ekiga-devel-list] Segfault on Ubuntu Feisty

[Owen Barton <drupal owenbarton com>]

Hi All,

I have been experiencing recurrent segfaults and freeze-ups (kill -9ers) using Ekiga on Ubuntu Fiesty (9.04). I used it extensively with Intrepid (8.10) without any issues. The only think that may be slightly unusual about my setup is (a) I use Pulseaudio with Ekiga (I like the ability to not have locking issues with music players etc) and (b) I have a wireless USB headset. When I first upgraded I had some issues with pulseaudio crashing, which I suspect was related to delay/timing issues with the USB headset - I upgraded to a more recent pulseaudio and have not had subsequent pulseaudio crashes since then. Ekiga has still crashed and frozen and appears unaffected by the pulseaudio upgrade. Sometimes it crashes on the first call after startup, and sometimes it lasts several (long) calls without a problem.

Hence, I downloaded the latest trunks for ptlib, opal and ekiga and compiled them all with debug support and captured a debug log (attached). To reproduce I simply connected to a remote SIP conference extension (I have obfusicated IPs and domains to protect the innocent).

If anyone has any ideas/patches, or would like me to perform further tests please let me know.

Thanks!
- Owen

PS. I had one issue with the instructions at http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compiling_Ekiga - I needed to use "debug make" for opal (as with ptlib), otherwise when compiling ekiga after a (successful) "./autogen.sh  --prefix=/usr --enable-opal-debug"  it exits with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopal_d".
