Preliminaries:
I'm using gutsy

This is definetly a wx problem, but the callstack showes the most recent call as libg. I can trigger it easily with the following python script
(I run it with "cat | python")

import ctypes
gt=ctypes.CDLL('/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0')
gt.g_thread_init(ctypes.c_voidp(0))

import wx

class BugApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        self.frame = frame = wx.Frame(None)
        # double free or corruption
        b = wx.Button(frame, -1, "dfree | corruption", (20,20))
        # stranger stuff
        b = wx.Button(frame, -1, "free or corruption", (20,20))
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton, b)
        frame.Show()
        return True

    def OnButton(self, evt):
        wx.TextEntryDialog(self.frame, "some text", "some text")

app = BugApp()
app.MainLoop()

btw, if you change the length of the title in the wx.Button you get different errors - so basically there is some bad pointer arithmetic going on in that wx.Button call (which is of course a wrapper for the real wxWidgets call).

(it crashes when you press the button)

HTH,

I've not had success compiling the proposed candidate wxwidgets2.8 for gutsy (using `sbuild -A -d gutsy wxwidgets2.8_2.8.4.0-0ubuntu2.dsc`), and as such am unable to test sufficiently for upload. I've unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors while attempting to test: please check the debdiff, and if it works for you, resubscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors to request upload.

Emmet, pbuilder had no problems compiling wxwidgets2.8 with attached debdiff. My gutsy chroot ran out of space once though, compiling wxwidgets2.8 seems to require quite amount of hdd space. I'll resubscribe universe-sponsors.

Same problem with Inkscape and Listen - I compiled Inkscape from SVN Trunk ...same gslice error ( GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; )
then I uninstall it and I put Inkscape from Synaptic, same error, then I download the developer snapshoot release -> same error.

If someone will check on google for Gutsy gslice, "someone" will see that this error is working for a lot of programs not only for VLC.

I do a test - I tried to use VLC with GTK themes ( not GTK 2 ) ...well, VLC is working - but with GTK 2 themes not.

The question is - we will have to wait for each application maintainer to change code to work with gslice OR to change gslice ?

For me Inkscape is dead and I don't see the light here. I don't use Gutsy for production but is impossible for me to test Inkscape new features.

Nemes, why not using the "G_SLICE=always-malloc" workaround already mentionned on the bug? Comments about all the software not being fixed yet in unstable are not really constructive

VLC work with G_SLICE=always-malloc vlc. Gslice msg is still there.

btw Inkscape problems seems to be solved - with the updated libgtkmm-2.4 ( via upgrade ). I compiled Inkscape again from svn -> so Inkscape start and I can work ..but the error message is still there.

Sorry Sebastien for my tone from previous message, I was just tired, stressed, I lost some time compiling / searching solutions.
Anyhow this message from Gslice seem to be a true Pandora's Box.

No problem building wxwidgets2.8 with the patch in a pbuilder.
I'm doing some testing currently and will probably upload it.
u-u-s unsubscribed.

Thanks Adrien. wxGlade is one of the wxwidgets2.8 applications which has a similar bug. Its UI freezes instead of crashing, but backtrace output to terminal is similar. You should probably test if attached patch sorts that issue as well.

Closing the VLC task as wxwidgets was the culprit.

It fixes filezilla's crash, so I consider it's fine. :)

mlind: next time use "LP: #bug", "LP#bug" doesn't work.

Hmm. I'm still having the same, or a similar problem.

Gutsy, x86_64.
