Segementation fault on OpenSUSE immediately after launch.

[shannonlucas]

I was having this problem with 4.6.1 (downloaded .deb file) on Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish 18.10, but I was getting this error on the command line:

google-play-music-desktop-player: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After installing gconf2 the problem went away, and the application is able to start and run normally.

Can reproduce this on current Debian Unstable. Last systemcalls in strace were:

Happened to me with google-play-music-desktop-player-4.6.1-1.x86_64 on Fedora 29 Linux kernel 4.20.6-200.fc29.x86_64. Output of strace google-play-music-desktop-player at https://pastebin.com/ZGx9dttZ

Experiencing similar on a stock xubuntu 18.10 install here

[simoniz0r]

Same here on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I am guessing it is something to do with the Electron version used as I have random issues that are similar to this with older Electron versions.

[1]    3797 segmentation fault (core dumped)  google-play-music

:EDIT: After looking at your package.json, I am 99% sure it is the Electron version used. Please update the Electron version to 3.x or newer.

[jostrander]

If I'm not mistaken this has been fixed by a version bump of electron in the master branch. We just need a new release for it to be live.

[simoniz0r]

Please make a new release regardless of new features. I (and any other user on a distro newer than Ubuntu 18.04) cannot use this program at all as is.

[jostrander]

Out of my control unfortunately, only @marshallofsound holds the keys to publish new releases.

[MarshallOfSound]

Well actually my desktop holds the release keys, and that machine is currently on a ship on it's way from Australia to Canada 😄 I'll make a new release as soon as I can 👍

Closing this out as it is (a) a duplicate and (b) fixed on master

[MarshallOfSound]

@simoniz0r FWIW you can use the assets from CI on master as a temporary workaround

[simoniz0r]

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about here? I tried looking here, but I can't find anywhere to download assets.

[Alphare]

@simoniz0r Any news for a new release? I can't seem to find the assets either.

[simoniz0r]

I found it after some poking around through other issues here.

https://2974-40008106-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/home/circleci/project/dist/installers/debian/google-play-music-desktop-player_4.6.1_amd64.deb

You have to go here, login, click on the latest build there, and then click the assetst tab.

[Alphare]

@simoniz0r Ha, I mentioned you instead of @MarshallOfSound, but that works too. Thanks!

[oh4]

Any update on this possibly being pushed to the main site for .deb? I installed using deb packages and prefer to keep it that way since I wrote some automation to configure my desktop. I can always rewrite the task to pull from GITHUB rather than deb but I prefer not to.

Ok, so I found the deb repo here: https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-/blob/master/docs/Installation_On_Debian.md so I removed the manual .deb package and installed using the repo. That worked, however, it's version 4.4.0 instead of 4.6.1. When can we expect the repo to contain the latest build?

[simoniz0r]

It would be better if we could just get a release that fixes this. This has been broken for quite a few months now... not everyone in the world is using LTS Ubuntu and can wait months for a fix. @MarshallOfSound please release a new version that contains this fix.

[Flinlock]

Bump, would love an update on when this will see official release. Thank you!

[aaroncv3]

Bump, and thanks @oh4 !

[nekdolan]

I get Segmentation fault (core dumped) on 19.04 with the 4.6.1 deb .
Unfortunately the Snap package has also stopped working because I switched to Wayland from Xorg, but that is a Snap issue.
If you need a working package just use the Snap version.

[oh4]

@nekdolan check out my latest comment for a workaround

[nekdolan]

@oh4 thanks, I guess that would work. I found another google play music player so I'm good.

[Flinlock]

@oh4 thanks, I guess that would work. I found another google play music player so I'm good.

What's the other player you found?

[nekdolan]

@Flinlock https://nuvola.tiliado.eu/app/google_play_music/

[simoniz0r]

I don't understand why a new release hasn't been made yet. I get that you don't have a lot of time or whatever, but you already have a working release built... you just have to upload it here.

[jostrander]

That is incorrect @simoniz0r , the release build in the other issue is broken.

[simoniz0r]

The release from circleci works fine for me on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

[simoniz0r]

At the very least, please put a link in your readme to the latest circleci build as they are not at all intuitive to find, and many people are unable to use this program at all without them.

[fosspill]

This seems to happen on Arch suddendly:
"terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)"

[AlbertCloete]

I'm getting the same on Manjaro. I just installed it via AUR.

~: gpmdp
[1]    32522 segmentation fault (core dumped)  gpmdp

~: pacman -Q gpmdp                       
gpmdp 4.6.1-2

[ngseer]

@AlbertCloete the issue is already resolved. AUR build uses an outdated release (since there were no releases with that fix included). Consider this comment for a workaround.

[JAicewizard]

when will another release be released? I assume the pc has arrived in canada and this has been an issue for a long time.
I see an open issue for 4.7 but why not release 4.6.2 or 4.6.1-3?

[AlexWayfer]

We're still waiting for a new release.
