Hi,
I've seen a thread (
http://www.mail-archive.com/enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16525.html
)
talking about an icon that cause E to segfault. If someone is interested, i
got one.
When removed, it don't crashes no more.
If it happens to you, i recommend the following to find the "offensive
icon" :
strace -o /tmp/e.log -p PID_OF_E
make it crashes
stop strace
edit /tmp/e.log
search SEG
sample :
5930 14:55:41
open("/opt/ibm/lotus/Sametime/shared/eclipse/features/com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.branding.feature_8.5.1.20100709-1657/icons/sametime.ico",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 32
5930 14:55:41 fcntl64(32, F_GETFD) = 0
5930 14:55:41 fcntl64(32, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
5930 14:55:41 fstat64(32, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=42166, ...}) = 0
5930 14:55:41 rt_sigaction(SIGBUS, {0xe67d50, [], SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO},
NULL, 8) = 0
5930 14:55:41 mmap2(NULL, 42166, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 32, 0) = 0xb742f000
5930 14:55:41 madvise(0xb742f000, 42166, MADV_SEQUENTIAL) = 0
5930 14:55:41 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
WTH is happening there is far beyond my humble knowledge of E. But
experience taught me to get ride of whatever seems to cause the problem. It
works this time again.
I tried to edit it with gimp. The buggy one has 10 layers. But reducing the
number to one doesn't cure the problem :
file /tmp/sametime*ico
/tmp/sametime-buggy.ico: MS Windows icon resource - 10 icons, 48x48,
16-colors
/tmp/sametime.ico: MS Windows icon resource - 1 icon
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
