This looks identical to LP#1105417. This looks like a problem in gobject internals, even VLC does not use gobject (directly). Hence, this is most probably a bug in a library used by VLC. Unfortunately, the stack trace is busted.
Looking at the ProcMaps, we can see that there's just the VLC core, the VLC ALSA audio output plugin, the VLC Qt4 GUI plugin and the VLC SDL video output plugin. The first two definitely do not use gobject. The presence of SDL is quite peculiar (and deprecated in upstream VLC). Does the problem still occur if vlc-plugin-sdl is UNINSTALLED? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157800 Title: vlc crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_equal() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1157800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
