Bug Description

I am using ubuntu oneiric (11.10) with the latest updates (i.e. totem 3.0.1-0ubuntu7.1)

It seems totem crashes with almost any command line option. Unfortunately the --debug flag does not give much insight (still I am including it)

[strix:pres]$ totem --fullscreen video.mpg
Segmentation fault
[strix:pres]$ totem --toggle-controls video.mpg
Segmentation fault
[strix:pres]$ totem --debug --fullscreen video.mpg
Segmentation fault
[strix:pres]$ totem --debug --toggle-controls video.mpg

The same problem when starting without fullscreen mode and then trying to switch to the fullscreen from the command line. Fullscreen from UI works without problem.

This is the bug filling in totem's bugzilla https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666431

A patch has been committed

commit 71408a90d504b666c74e81260e8761387dc64ce5
Author: Estêvão Samuel Procópio <email address hidden>
Date: Sun Dec 18 19:29:41 2011 -0200

    totem-options: Should not free commands list data.

    In totem_options_process_for_server the commands GList holds
    integers and freeing those integers leads to a segfault.
    Only the GList needs to be freed.

    Closes: bgo#666431

that thread suggest Ubuntu packagers to apply the patch and push and Update any ideas on how to contact the packagers??

I have to correct myself.
Patch is working, totem now crashes only if already opened and using --help option.

Not perfect but nice!

Any idea if its going to be added to default ubuntu instalations??

Perhaps you should make this observations "crashes only if already opened and using --help option." here

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666431

it might help fix those issues you found

This bug was fixed in the package totem - 3.0.1-0ubuntu17

---------------
totem (3.0.1-0ubuntu17) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - don't Build-Depends on libxtst-dev so the codepath generating fake key
      events is disabled, those events lead to weird behaviours with
      some applications or the unity hud (lp: #923644)
    - drop the Build-Depends on individual girs, the libs depends on those
  * debian/patches/git_commandfix_incorrect_free.patch:
    - fix segfault with on line options use (lp: #860079, #884811, #917241)

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * Drop coherence plugin description since the plugin has been
    removed by GNOME. (LP: #827382)
