installing Ubuntu or updating packages hangs at config libgstreamer

Thanks for your bug report. Were you trying to install Breezy or Dapper? This looks more like a Breezy installation to me, so it'd be nice if you could try the Dapper CD (maybe just the LiveCD) and report back, as their have been a bunch of improvements to liboil in the meantime.

It was Breezy. I'm not familiar with Dapper.

I also cut the Breezy Live CD which worked on the machine. I notice that the
libgstreamer stuff does not appear to be on the Live CD.

How do I get hold of the appropriate version of Dapper?

many thanks for the help.

Regards

Anthony Nowlan

Found Dapper beta and loaded it. It appears to work. If I use the beta, will
there be problems in moving to the release due in June?

many thanks for the help.

no, there is no issue to upgrade from dapper beta to dapper

I have the same problem, but only after upgrading from Breezy to Dapper a few months ago. The most anoying thing is when starting gnome, gnome-setting-daemon keeps on restarting thus changing the the theme as fast as it can. For now I just renamed liboil-0.3.so.0*. No more problem exept that every gstreamer apps does not work.

Here's the output of running totem on the command line:
OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 359: oil_test_check_impl(): illegal instruction in mt19937_i386_mmx_3
Illegal instruction

Output of gnome-setting-daemon:
�OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 359: oil_test_check_impl(): illegal instruction in mt19937_i386_mmx_3
Illegal instruction

I tryed installing older version from debian, same problem. I tryed recompiling the .deb, same problem. I traced in liboil, found the code that does the illegal instruction, but did not want to start debuging assembly, so I stopped there.

I'll find that function again and will post it, but for now I must get to work.

Here's a post on a french forum where a bunch of other people have the same problem:

is anybody still having that issue with dapper and gstreamer0.10?

As described in the previous comments, your report lacks the information we need to investigate the problem further. We'll close this report for now - please reopen it if you can give us the missing information.
