Bug Description

SRU JUSTIFICATION

[Description]

In my sistem I have one PCI TV/FM tuner card and one removable USB TV/FM tuner.

Gnomeradio is set to use, by default "/dev/radio0", device create by PCI TV/FM card.
I discover this problem when I forgotten to attach USB TV/FM and I try to set gnomeradio to use "/dev/radio1" (device that would have made ​​it by USB TV/FM and, of course if USB isn't connected, it does not exist).

When I tried to change radio device to "/dev/radio1", in Preferences "Radio Device" combobox text and I press ENTER to SAVE settings, results: gnomeradio crash.

[Impact]

USB TV/FM card market is growing and this situation (and probably others similar to it), can exist for large users. It is important to be solved especially for novice users. They will see how the app crashes without knowing the cause.

But of course, not only that justify to be solved this bug :)

[Test Case]

1. Open Gnomeradio
2. Open "Preferences" dialog
3. Enter in "Radio Device" combobox text settings one device that not exist
   (e.g. /dev/radio5)
4. Press ENTER to save settings

Actual results:

gnomeradio crashed with SIGABRT in __libc_message()

Expected results:

gnomeradio to display a message that the device is not present

[Regression Potential]

None. Look good, and have been tested in raring
[gnomeradio now send error message instead of crashing] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnomeradio/+bug/1110660/+attachment/3606266/+files/Gnomeradio.png.
This patch only remove a small part of code to avoid double free or corruption.

[Other Info]

Ideally I'd wish to see this fixed in Gnomeradio upstream as well, and not carry this as a distro patch forever, but unfortunately you can find at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677059#c5 the information that gnomeradio is unmaintained software (since 2008).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
