Bug Description
When I run Istanbul, it loads the tray icon. If I click it it appears to record. When I click it again, it starts to load up the save window and then crashes.
Running from a command line gives:
~$ istanbul
DEBUG: final pipeline: istximagesrc name=videosource ! video/x-
SaveWindow with file: /tmp/tmpTpt8Yp
The program 'istanbul' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 46 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
This could be a similar issue to Bug #58626 but --sync does not fix the problem. Please give me directions to collect a backtrace as it seems to fail when I try:
(gdb) exec-file istanbul
"/usr/bin/
I had the same, then added this below and start working. It's kind of magic and should be done by some automagic configurator :)
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation Intel Default Card"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "VideoRam" "65536"
Option "CacheLines" "1980"
EndSection
Is that in the xorg.conf file? Those options look specific to a particular video card - are they likely to be correct for mine as well?
I get the pitivi bug, but am able to use istanbul. Notably, I must enable 3D support or else the video will flash black, but it works and does not crash.

I can reproduce this on intel 915 and 965.

This is fixed in CVS upstream and a new release of Istanbul (mostly bugfix) should appear in the next few days (tomorrow hopefully).

I'm using Kubuntu Feisty (fully up-to-date) and I'm still having the same problem. A workaround I've found is not to record with "Full Size".

Gustavo, if you are using ubuntu's version of Istanbul, that's normal because this is not the latest version. A UVF exception has been filed there: https:/

Closing as backports contain the fix.

I am using an Intel 855GM with the i810 xorg driver.
