Details
First, I must mention that I'm using my own kernel, because
Arch's kernel hangs at isapnp part.
Unfortunately I cannot understand/debug what the real problem is, but strange errors occur when I upgrade my glibc 2.4 to 2.5 (I tried all 2.5-* versions and they are identical in this aspect). All of the following problems disappear when I downgrade to 2.4: -mplayer hangs with sig11 when -ao alsa used (-ao sdl works fine): I tried to compile my own version with no success. -I get a segfault when I try to start audacious (however xmms works fine with ALSA output even) It seems to be ALSA problem but I remember that xfrun4 from the 4.0 version of Xfce couldn't start either. So I cannot use glibc 2.5. Any idea? |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
From the gentoo ebuild:
ewarn "Starting from alsa 1.0.11_rc3 the configuration for dmix is changed."
ewarn "Leaving around old asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc might make all apps"
ewarn "using ALSA output crash."
alsa-oss 1.0.12-1
alsa-plugins 1.0.13-1
alsa-utils 1.0.13-1
dmix: as far as I know, I'm not using dmix (at least I never set it up): to be sure, I did this: http://www.pegasos.org/index.php?name=FAQ&id_cat=5
I get just a simple "segmentation fault" with Audacious, and the usual SIGSERV error of mplayer.
kernel: 2.6.20.4
I'd suggest to make sure all libraries are the newest versions. :-/
Yes, I thought that this is a rare bug because noone reported similar bugs earlier. But that is true that there is no problem with glibc 2.4, so something was changed in 2.5 which affects my "non-standard" (custom kernel) system. I mention here that the same error existed with my older custom (2.6.18) kernel (however my .config file was almost the same).
I would test glibc 2.5 from other distros to find out this is an Arch-specific bug or not but I'm afraid of breaking my system.
otherwise we cannot reproduce it.
I have /usr/lib/tls only, which contains: libnvidia-tls.so.1, libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.9631
(I moved it temporarily for testing but nothing changed :-S)
I'd appreciate if you'd create a "vanilla" glibc package for me. If that doesn't work either then this is a glibc problem and my problem should be forwarded to glibc devels.
Yes.

This bug can be closed now \o/
This was my bug (an old glibc2.4 library file somehow existed on my system out of pacman's control...), so this is not your bug...
