After my new installation of Ubuntu on my new rig, I was annoyingly unable to play music with Clementine. When Clementine was run from the command line, it would exit with “Segmentation fault”. A gdb backtrace showed that it was gstreamer that was crashing, so I found and updated from the PPA for GStreamer developers which has solved the issue.
Here are the steps on the command line required to use it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
Here’s my gdb backtrace in case anyone is having the same issue and searches for terms that appear in it.
