Hi,

I am on Slackware 14.1 (not current) with KDE and am a bit puzzled. Using Eric's handbrake-0.9.9 package, everything is fine.

But using my own build made from Slackbuilds, I get a segfault like this (using Eric's package or my own, I use the same encoding settings): starting ghb is fine, setting up the encode is also fine. Then, on clicking start, it looks like ghb is doing it's thing. But when the progress bar (at the bottom of the ghb window) is about to come on, ghb crashes. All I then see is a segfault message in the console -- just 'segfault', nothing else.

This is what I do when compiling myself from Slackbuilds for 14.1:

1) build and install libass-0.10.2
2) download handbrake-0.9.9 and the listed dependencies into one folder
3) ./HandBrake.Slackbuild -- nothing recognizably wrong when watching the build messages
4) run ghb from console OR HandBrake from start menu

Thanks,
eighernorth

have you tried strace? Probably it tries to load an incompatible library...

This is a known issue, you can find more discussion on it if you want to read more. I just use Eric's package as his doesn't suffer from it.

I have used a svn (or github I don't remember) version and the same adapted slackbuild, and everything works very well. With version 0.9.9 had some problems, this is why I used current version, which solved the problems.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

Compyling from git prodiced a make error and I filed a bug report.

'strace ghb' still does not say much, at least not to me:

poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=19, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 7, 0) = 2 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=16, revents=POLLIN}])
read(5, "\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8
