rhythmbox cannot and does not make use of libvisual's opengl
visualizations. the only way this is opengl related is if the user has
configured gstreamer to use opengl as the output from gstreamer.
unlikely.
debugging the xserver is a fairly painful thing to ask a user to do...
so to make it easier i'm going to write out the steps i'd personally
take to do it.
1: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add
Option "NoTrapSignals" "true"
under the ServerFlags section which may not exist, if it doesn't exist then add
it.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "NoTrapSignals" "true"
EndSection
2: load up a terminal and change to the /var/crash/ directory.
"cd /var/crash"
then list all the files in there
"ls"
this will list all the crashes that the ubuntu crash system has archived.
you've hopefully reported all of them so far, so feel free to purge them.
"sudo rm *"
the reason we do this is so that when you replicate the bug that it won't just
add +1 to that crash reports counter. so that it'll dump a NEW coredump ^-^
3: restart so that the changes from #1 will take effect.
4: trigger the crash ^-^
5: relogin and load up a terminal and type "sudo /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk"
this will load up the apport crash reporter as root so that crashes that were
caused by dodgy applications like Xorg that run as root will be reported :)
6: mark this bug as a duplicate of the new bug that you will report
