Daniel: Does the given .mov play for you in totem-gstreamer and does sending a process make it leave a core dump? If so try this alternative technique:
1. Make a directory and copy moveyourfeet.mov inside. 2. Start a gnome-terminal and cd to that directory. 3. Run while true; do if [[ `ls core* 2> /dev/null` != "" ]]; then echo -e "\acore detected"; fi; sleep 2; done 4. Press Ctrl-Shift N. In the new window run while true; do gnome-video-thumbnailer -s 128 moveyourfeet.mov o; done 5. Press Ctrl-Shift N. In the new window run while true; do killall gnome-video-thumbnailer; sleep 5; done; Every now and then the gnome-video-thumbnailer window should say Terminated but every now and then it will say Segmentation fault. The sleep can be relatively low because when it is going to segfault gnome- video-thumbnailer will segfault fairly quickly. -- Segfault thumbnailing PNG image .mov https://launchpad.net/bugs/45007 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
