Hello. Because 'Parole' is a part of an Universe section, it will be - probably - not updated by Developers in Xenial/16.04 (please see rules about updating packages, because I can be wrong). Of course, your method Fixitman Arizona is okay.
By the way: please notice Gimp situation [1]: there are multiple security issues fixed in various Gimp versions and Releases - even in 14.04/Trusty, which is older than Xenial, right? Never mind. I have no idea why there is no security update for Gimp in Xenial. Anyway, I solved problem with segfaults described by mikewhatever - an original poster by using AppArmor. Because in the past I've created a profile for Gimp, I decided to check what will happen when `mpris2.so` library will be blocked. And it worked! ,----[ AppArmor rule ] | deny /usr/lib/@{multiarch}/parole-0/parole-mpris2.so mr, `---- With above rule in use, I can play any supported file/video and as Original Poster wrote: "click or drag the slider to seek forward (...)" and so on. Thanks, best regards. _________________ [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1773561 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550444 Title: Parole media player segfaults when seeking forward in a video file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parole/+bug/1550444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
