I guess we need a patch to rip out the gsequence that muine ships and to fix the makefiles associated.

The bug always appears when you press "Play Song" or "Play Album", making muine unusable in gutsy.

The bug is gone with a self-compiled muine-0.8.8.

A rebuild of the package using the new upstream tarball (0.8.8) and dropping all patches except '20_desrt_trayicon_behaviour.patch' will result in a muine package that works flawlessly on gutsy.

Wouter, Ubuntu only updates packages on version release - so next round won't be until Ubuntu 8.04's release in April.

Your 0.8.8 debs work in 7.10 for me - thanks! I won't have to keep trying to like Rhythmbox now, hopefully!

Muine now seems to use a whole lot more resources than I remember from previous (official Ubuntu) releases, though - between 9-14% of CPU constantly while it's playing.

By contrast, Rhythmbox seems to be using about 2-6% while playing.

Is this an 0.8.8 issue, or did previous versions of Muine use this much CPU too, and I've just forgotten?

But this is not really about an update, it is about making a package
actually WORK again. Ubuntu could as well have applied just the patch that
fixes this issue (see upstream bug for the patches).

Thanks, you're welcome.

I don't think Muine has changed that much between 0.8.7 and 0.8.8. However,
Muine uses Mono, GTK+ and GStreamer, so there might have been some changes
in those areas.

muine is completely unusable in gutsy since it segfaults when you actually want to play something.

I'm really sorry to say this but the Ubuntu update policy for issues like these is just PLAIN STUPID. How can you REFUSE to fix a CRITICAL BUG because of some stupid policies? Meanwhile upstream Muine developers (me included) get the crap from Ubuntu users suffering from this problem.

My packages at http://uwstopia.nl/blog/2008/01/muine-0-8-8-for-ubuntu for i386 and (contributed by someone else) powerpc work fine, so users may want to use those while Ubuntu ignores the complaints from its users.

Hi Wouter,

Thanks for all of your work and attention on this, I understand your
frustration about this - I've frequently been a victim of Ubuntus broken
Muine packages my self.

No-one has refused anything, it's just that no-one has put the work into
 getting the fix into Ubuntu.

The policy linked above has the full description but basically someone
needs to:
 * Grab the upstream patch
 * Make a debdiff.
 * Get the upload sponsored
 * Get some people to confirm the upload fixed the problem
(along with some editing of this bug report)

I'm sorry that this hasn't happened yet but Muine is usually a volunteer
maintained package, and no-one has volunteered to do this stuff.

Or indeed, I'm sorry to say, updated the version in Hardy yet.

I also get this problem. What a shame! This should most definitely be marked as a bug to be patched via auto-updates. Otherwise it should simply be removed from the repos as it just doesn't work.

Now for some constructive comments. The issue is the GSequence addition to GLib, which clashes wit hthe GSequence code in old Muine releases. These upstream commits are relevant to this issue afaics:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/muine?view=revision&revision=1143

2007-06-05 Wouter Bolsterlee <email address hidden>

 * libmuine/gsequence.c: (g_old_sequence_new),
 * libmuine/gsequence.h:
 * libmuine/pointer-list-model.c: (pointer_list_model_get_iter),
 * libmuine/pointer-list-model.h:

 Renamed all occurences of GSequence* to GOldSequence*
 and all occurences of g_sequence_* to g_old_sequence_*.
 This is a very ugly work-around to fix the build with
 newer GLib > 2.12 which has an incompatible GSequence
 API.

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/muine?view=revision&revision=1149

2007-08-08 Wouter Bolsterlee <email address hidden>

 Update to newer GSequence API. Partly fixes bug #464825.
 Initial patch by Scott Robinson, but slightly changed
 because we cannot depend on Glib > 2.13 as of yet (no
 stable release!).

 * libmuine/gsequence.c:
 * libmuine/gsequence.h:

 Copied from Glib trunk with minor modifications to make
 it build: removed galias references and changed glib.h
 include statement.

 * libmuine/pointer-list-model.c:
 * libmuine/pointer-list-model.h:

 Change to Glib GSequence API.

I know you MOTU do a great work. But I was really sad to see, that muine in hardy show still the same behavior. Could someone find time and love to integrate the patch/package from uws in ubuntu? And please not in 8.10. Muine is since Gutsy totally unusable. There are a few people outside, who dont like banshee, rhythmbox etc and please allow them to use muine in ubuntu...
