Kaffeine crash - solved

[jdunn]

Kaffeine seems to crash often when I exit Kaffeine, after playing a DVD. It also crashes sometimes during DVD playback. It doesn't crash when playing AVI, WMV, etc. I'm running version 0.7.1, the default version for Dapper.

*Update*
Finally found a deb package for Kaffeine 0.8.2. I uninstalled 0.7.1, then installed 0.8.2, then reinstinalled the kaffeine-xine package. No more crashes at all.

Re: Kaffeine crash

You could try to upgrade to the 0.8.1.

Kaffeine home (http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net/) says: "Current stable version: 0.8.1 ". It's also in the repositories.

Kaffeine bugs (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kaffeine -> bugs) says:

kaffeine crashes after played a video. Suse 10.1 with updates from smart.

Maybe same (known?) problem ?

I haven't noticed crash problems with this (0.8.1) version.

Re: Kaffeine crash

Actually, I've discovered that Kaffeine crashes not just on exit...It also ocassionally crashes during DVD playback. The crash always results in a signal 11 message popup. However, it will not crash if I play other media formats.

I'm reluctant to upgrade to 0.8.1 because I already have all the non-free packages installed. I've read that upgrading will cause problems with dependancies. Also, I haven't found it in the repositories and I'd rather try a package first before I compile the sourcecode.

I thought I had the crash problem solved but apparently, I don't. I'm still using Kaffeine 0.7.1.

Rog131,
I have all the main, resistricted, universe, multiverse, security, update and backports enabled but 0.8.1 does not show up. Are you using Dapper or Edgy? What version of KDE? Where is 0.8.1?
