[newbie] segmentation faults 8.1-gamimg edition
Hi Folks, Just what is a segmentation fault ? And why would it tell me seems like memory is missing Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] segmentation faults 8.1-gamimg edition
Well I'm gonna answer my own post..lol. Seems to be a hardware prob perhaps..or a memory timing ? I think I've got it fixed..maybe. Switched the drive to another box,diff motherboard..same bios tho..with the same settings even..all the way thru. Not quite sure what went on today,but I spent all day doing it..lol. hava great week all :-) Lee Hi Folks, Just what is a segmentation fault ?

And why would it tell me seems like memory is missing Lee plainly said , a segmentation fault occurs when a program accesses a memory space which it is not supposed to. this is usually due to the programming wherein the programmer has not anticipated a circumstances and hasnt safeguarded his code correctly for this kind of thing. this can also be caused by the hardware (not so quite often) but i cannot give you any concrete examples so i pass that privilege to those more knowledgeable than me. ciao! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G.

[newbie] Segmentation Faults
I've installed two programs, Abiword and gsysboard, and they both give segmentation faults when started. Is there a general approach to solving these problems? -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Getting where I want to go with Linux...
Re: [newbie] Segmentation Faults?
Are you using the static linked version or a dynamic link version. If Dynamic which version of the lib are you using? I got the static link version to work but back then I had Mandrake 5.3 and they didn't have a version for the glib used in 5.3 I haven't upgraded since then since they are still haven't released a new release since 1.3.

The machine stayed up all night Sunday night, running KDE, and the built in screen saver. However SAT night I tried to run the Setiathome client software in background mode as normal but from Console mode. The system crashed over night, with segmentation faults, and a kernel panic. This machine and Mandrake just doesn't seem to like Setiathome. I find this very bothersome. Because I like to participate in distributed data processing projects, and if Mankdrake can't handle Setiathome... Well what other applications will it have problems with. Of course I'm still not ruleing out the possibility of my Motherboard giving me problems. Regards, Clyde J. Kell

Must be a hardware or config issue, 'cause I"m running SETI@HOME and two instances of RC5DES distributed client, under Mandrake 6.0 and my system is ROCK solid, other than being a bit sluggish. If I overlook the sluggishness, I can even run normal X-apps with those three things running in the background in Konsole windows. :-) John

Kell wrote: Help, Whenever I try to run a particular program I receive an: Segmentation Fault core dumped What program? Seti@Home here's the download page: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html Okay, that might explain some things. The seti@home client can be pretty processor intensive, and I've seen Windows users use it as a decent benchmark/burn-in tool when overclocking processors. Their reasoning is that if it survives seti@home, the machine will be fine for normal use. One thing I'm curious about... the memory in the new machine -- is it from the old machine? Maybe you need to adjust the waitstates in the BIOS to account for memory that's slower than it expects? Then when I try to do anything else I receive: unable to load interpreter init: Id "3" respawning too fast disabled for 5 minutes What did you edit in /etc/inittab? Nothing!! I did a complete re-installation from a Mandrake 6.0 CD. Any ideas on what the inittab should display? Another question -- does this occur only after you've had the segmentation fault above?

It seems like my other applications, the things provided with the CD, and StarOffice, and one or two others downloaded appear to work just fine. The machine stayed up all night Sunday night, running KDE, and the built in screen saver. You'll find that the processor stays pretty quiet during these tasks. I'd expect probably 80% or higher idle. Linux will automatically call the HLT (is that correct?) instructions when it's idle, allowing the processor to slow and cool down. However SAT night I tried to run the Setiathome client software in background mode as normal but from Console mode. The system crashed over night, with segmentation faults, and a kernel panic.

Of course I'm still not ruleing out the possibility of my Motherboard giving me problems. I'd take a hard look at hardware on this one. Either the memory just isn't fast enough for the new board, or you've got dodgy cooling on the CPU.
