Pidgin fails to start after todays update / segfault in libgstclutter

Hello,

I'm getting this error message since the last update:

$ pidgin
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.

starting with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork also did not work.
Temporarily removing the file /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so with sudo mv /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so.old fixed the problem so far, but this is not a good solution am I right?

Any help please... Thanks!

GLX is an extension that almost everyone would want to have. Does it show up in the list when you run "xdpyinfo"? If not, I would definitely load it by putting:

Section "Module"
  Load "glx"
EndSection

in your xorg.conf or a file under xorg.conf.d. It should be in your libgl provider. What video driver do you use?

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Re: Pidgin fails to start after todays update / segfault in libgstclutter

I have Asus laptop with nvidia-optimus. After last update pidgin showed next message:

$ pidgin
libp11-kit.so.0: невозможно открыть разделяемый объектный файл: Нет такого файла или каталога
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiognutls.so
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.

First message disappeared after I reinstalled gnutls
Trauble with Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0" was fixed by remove next packages: nvidia and nvidia-utils, and installing intel-dri, xf86-video-intel, and reinstalling mesa.
Now I have:

$ pidgin

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstclutter.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-disable-registry-fork and debug.

Now I try to fix it.
