I can play sequence with RV, however, every time when I click the RV -> Preferences, it crush with the this in the terminal:

"

Dump path: /tmp/1118b323-dcb6-22e2-1646dba3-19d936ea.dmp

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

"

 

And leave this in the /var/log/messages

Oct 9 14:59:32 localhost abrt[3510]: Saved core dump of pid 3494 (/usr/local/tweaks/rv-Linux-x86-64-3.12.13/bin/rv.bin) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2013-10-09-14:59:29-3494 (260067328 bytes)

The redhat is 2.6.32-258.el6.x86_64

  Hi Liao,

  Can you please send us a copy of the dmp file that was created during your crash?

  You may find that moving your preferences aside and then launching RV with -resetPrefs fixes the issue.

  Please let us know.

  Thanks,
  Jon

  Hi Liao,

  If moving the preferences aside is too much trouble you could always try launching with -noPrefs as well. Just to see if that lets you open the preferences without crashing.

  Thanks,
  Jon

  Hi Jon,

   

  Thanks for the help.

   

  The dmp file I attached in this post

  I try lauch it by `rv -noPrefs`, it makes no difference. Still got the same message when I press click RV -> Preferences.

   

  Thank you

  Liao

  Hi Liao,

  I am sorry I did not mention this earlier. We have seen issues with the version of pulseaudio used in more recent versions of redhat. The crash that happens is most often seen when trying to open the preferences because RV queries the audio modules on the system, thus triggering the pulseaudio issue.

  I can see the pulse crash in the dmp file you included. Thank you for that file. If you want to be sure you can try running RV with "-noaudio".

  The main work around has been for users to uninstall pulseaudio.

  We also added some small help to more recent versions of the linux launch wrapper for RV:

  #
  # Workaround for pulseaudio/libsndfile package mismatch on FC/Cent that causes
  # crash when accessing preferences.
  #
  if ((-e /usr/lib64/libpulsedsp.so || -e /usr/lib/libpulsedsp.so) && ! $?RV_DISABLE_PULSEAUDIO_WORKAROUND) then
  setenv LD_PRELOAD libpulsedsp.so
  endif

  If you want to try adding that to your wrapper for 3.12.13 that might work too.

  Thanks,
  Jon
