That makes sense. I added some icky debug printouts inside of the
gstreamer1.0-vaapi plugin to see if I could better understand what's
going on with this issue.
What's happening in Xubuntu is when you log in, tumblerd starts up.
tumblerd is a thumbnail creator, so it makes sense that it would
interact with GStreamer. tumblerd ends up doing something that invokes
gst-plugin-scanner, which loads the GStreamer vaapi plugin and leads to
the crash. The second time you log in, tumblerd is already running so it
doesn't repeat the plugin scan process and thus doesn't crash. But, you
can also cause the X11 crash to happen again at any time by typing:
gst-inspect-1.0
into your terminal. This crashes repeatably every time for me. Basically
GStreamer is completely useless in Xubuntu 24.04 right now, at least
inside of a VMware VM.
In fact, I can install a different flavor of Ubuntu such as Ubuntu MATE
in a VM, and install the problematic plugins:
sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-vaapi gstreamer1.0-tools
...and cause the exact same crash to occur by running gst-inspect-1.0.
Here's a backtrace of the code path in gst-plugin-scanner that is leading to
the request to Xorg that crashes it. No idea where the fault lies, but
something about this sequence makes Xorg unhappy:
