MakeMKV 1.7.9 for Linux not working

[DoctorFate]

Hello!

I have tried MakeMKV 1.7.9 under my gentoo linux. I can succesfully install it but when I try to run makemkv the process just hangs not binging up the gui. Version 1.7.8 worked perfectly. Here is a gentoo bugzilla entry showing that at least 2 users (including me) have this problem: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439380

Can you help?

Can you run the console version alone?

Code: Select all

makemkvcon info disc:0

What happens if you run GUI from terminal with debug enabled?

Code: Select all

makemkv debug /dev/stdout

[DoctorFate]

None of the suggested commands produce any output. The processes just hang.

I have created an strace log of the command "makemkv debug /dev/stdout" and attached it. Maybe that helps debugging.

I am having the same problem. Is there a way to still get the working version (1.7.?
I am running gentoo x86_64

If I can provide any useful information or help with testing, I would be happy to help.

I'm having the same problem.
makemkvcon just hangs without output at all.

I've bumped makemkv on gentoo to 1.7.8 -- we'll hold off on pushing 1.7.9 until there is a better idea what is breaking with it. I noticed the changelog has a reference to glibc changes in 1.7.9....may need to go look into what that entailed. Gentoo users can be running anything from glibc 2.10 to 2.16 depending on how they've setup their systems.

I got a message today, "This application version is too old. Please download the latest version at http://www.makemkv.com or enter a registration key to continue using the current version."

I had understood on installing MakeMKV that, for linux users at least, this was just a polite way to make sure that we're using the most current versions. Did I misunderstand, or is there some workaround since 1.7.9 is giving Gentoo users headaches?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

Worked perfectly. Thanks!

1.7.10 is also giving me problems. makemkvcon just starts up using 100% cpu and doing nothing else when executing makemkv.

[MattM]

This problem still occurs with 1.8.0 .....seems to have been that way since 1.7.8 at least. No debug output, just two processes - makemkv and gui server, with one using all cpu, no output sent to console or any logfiles that I can see.

More info--

Using default gentoo cflags for 1.8.0 doesn't work(no output/hang), but if all flags but -Os are filtered, than the message "application failed to initialize" is received.

Debug info:
matt@hyperion ~/.MakeMKV $ makemkvcon info disc:0
[1]+ Exit 1 makemkv
Segmentation fault
matt@hyperion ~/.MakeMKV $ makemkv debug /dev/stdout
DEBUG: 0xffffffff8000000b (null) 88

Testing a possible fix -- more details at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439380

Testing possible fix....looks like filtering all -O flags except for -Os was the right path
