The system info what we always want: -- linux distribution - examples: - RedHat 7.1 - Slackware 7.0 + devel packs from 7.1 ... -- kernel version: - uname -a -- libc version: - ls -l /lib/libc[.-]* -- X version: - X -version -- gcc and ld version: - gcc -v - ld -v -- binutils version: - as --version - -2.

If the problem is specific to one or a few files, - then please upload that file to: - ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming/ - Usually first 1-5 MB of the file is enough to reproduce - the problem, but first you should try it: - dd if=yourfile of=smallfile bs=1k count=1024 - (it will cut first 1MB of 'yourfile' and save to 'smallfile') - Then try again on this small file, and if bug still exists - then it's enough to upload this small file. - NEVER send such files via mail! Upload it, and send only - the path/filename of the file on the FTP. - If the file is accessible on the net, then sending the - _exact_ URL is enough! - -5. For crashes (segfault, SIGILL, signal 4 etc): - -If you have coredump of the crash, see 5.a, else see 5.b: - -5.a: Please print us coredump (if it was created). -Howto: -please create following command file: - -disass $eip-32 $eip+32 -printf "eax=%08lX\n",$eax -printf "ebx=%08lX\n",$ebx -printf "ecx=%08lX\n",$ecx -printf "edx=%08lX\n",$edx -printf "esp=%08lX\n",$esp -printf "ebp=%08lX\n",$ebp -printf "edi=%08lX\n",$edi -printf "esi=%08lX\n",$esi - -Then simply execute following command line: -gdb mplayer --core=core -batch --command=command_file >mplayer.bug - -5.b.: run MPlayer in gdb: -[at root/user shell prompt:] - # gdb mplayer -[at gdb prompt:] - > run -v [options-to-mplayer] filename - ...
