Hello Guix,

gst-plugins-bad fails its test suite on anything other than x86_64-linux.

Upstream issues:

  i686: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/issues/1463
  aarch64: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/issues/1464

(I believe the i686 issue affects armhf too)

This issue is currently holding up merging of 'staging' because
gst-plugins-bad is a dependency of 'cheese', which is a dependency of
'gnome'.

To move on with the merge, I wonder whether to:

1. Disable the affected tests, as upstream does not seem terribly
   concerned.
2. Drop 'cheese' from 'gnome'.

I'm leaning towards 2, as the AArch64 failure looks kind of serious.
Unfortunately 'cheese' does seem to require gst-plugins-bad.

Thoughts?

Hi,

I tested a few programs on 'staging' on x86-64 and I got some GStreamer
related issues. However I don't know if there is a link with the failing
tests on other architectures.

I wasn't able to play anything with the 'gst-play-1.0' program. It
always errors out with the message:
"Failed to create 'playbin' element. Check your GStreamer installation."

The 'clementine' program crashes because of a segmentation fault inside
a GStreamer function when trying to play a music file.

+1

I don't think cheese is essential or important for a running gnome
desktop.

Hi,

After trying to find where the problem could come from, GStreamer
started working fine again, but I'm not sure why. I suspect there was
some bad local state in my user environment that I reset while hacking
around, or something like that...

Anyway, concerning 'cheese', I think not installing it by default with
Gnome would not be a problem. It's not an essential core component of
Gnome and users who want it will still be able to install it trivially.

Oh, that's good news.

Cheese is popular among kids, so it's nice to have it out of the box.

But not essential, obviously.  Unless something else crops up I will
remove Cheese from GNOME and merge 'staging' in a day or two!
