Hello, A few days ago, I wanted to use GNOME Logs on a fresh Debian 10 installed machine. The package comes with the GNOME environment, so I didn't do apt install. However, what I got is just an error:
root@my-hostname:~# cat /var/log/messages ... Oct 27 11:56:55 my-hostname gnome-logs[6048]: Error retrieving the sender timestamps: Cannot assign requested address Oct 27 11:56:55 my-hostname kernel: [31613.658716] gnome-logs[6048]: segfault at 17fffffff8 ip 0000555b08fbfb4f sp 00007ffcb3f3f9b0 error 4 in gnome-logs[555b08fb6000+e000] Oct 27 11:56:55 my-hostname kernel: [31613.658724] Code: 43 18 48 8b 3b 48 89 e6 8b 50 08 48 8b 00 83 ea 01 48 8d 14 52 4c 8d 24 d0 e8 4d 6b ff ff 85 c0 0f 88 fd 00 00 00 48 8b 04 24 <49> 39 44 24 10 0f 82 8e 00 00 00 48 8b 3b e8 5e 70 ff ff 85 c0 0f ... I haven't touched anything on the system, and I get this segfault. The version of GNOME Logs is: 3.30.0-2 amd64 root@my-hostname:~# apt update ... All packages are up to date. root@my-hostname:~# apt list --installed gnome-logs Listing... Done gnome-logs/stable,now 3.30.0-2 amd64 [installed] I am thinking a few scenarios: 1. non-root user does not have access to /var/log -- which makes sense, and therefore, maybe, GNOME Logs can't read. However, I was working no issue with Ubuntu. Probably, default Ubuntu user has enough *power* to read /var/log files. 2. I deleted a few packages before using GNOME Logs, and maybe, this led to that segfault Thank you in advance. -- Berkhan Berkdemir www.berkhanberkdemir.com
