Getting segmentation faults with glxinfo, mplayer and others
 

Hi.

I am running Debian stable.

Suddenly when I run mplayer, xine, xmms, glxinfo and other I get
segmentation fault.

I have tried running both with and with Nvidia drivers.

I have run a memtest without any errors.

What can be causing this?

Best regards.

Rico.

Can someone please explain why doing this:

touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap

Solves the problem?

Hello,

weird situation, I dont know why works with that solution.

But you can try to "debug" your problem, executing that programs with strace.

$ strace xmms

Well, that causes the dynamic linker to use the non-optimized version
of a library, whether or not you have an optimized one. Were the
optimized version working before?

Undoing the solution and then using strave with xmms or mplayer or vlc
gives this output error:

access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
