[newbie] Mozilla segmentation fault.
Hi , Can anyone tell me why I get a return of 'segmentation fault' when I try to run mozilla from konsole. If I try to run Mozilla otherwise it dies after a few seconds. I have reinstalled it but there is no change. Any ideas please? Malcolm Candlish. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Salve. Ho installato un pacchetto rpm (krename per la cronaca) e all'avvio il programma produce questo laconico messaggio: Segmentation fault. Come aggirare il problema? Il pacchetto l'ho scaricato, non l'ho fatto io partendo dai sorgenti. Grazie.

Re: [newbie] Opera segmentation fault
The static version has the required QT libraries built into the Opera package. The dynamic version relies on a separately-installed QT package. This makes the download smaller, but dependent on the strengths/weaknesses (compared to the static build) of your installed version of QT.

Re: [newbie-it] Segmentation fault
Ho preso in rete un programma musicale (DAP) e l'ho installato seguendo le istruzioni varie. Il file binario clikkato o fatto partire da Esegui... non da segni di vita. Fatto partire da terminale invece riporta questo errore: Segmentation fault Cosa significa? Un 'Segmention fault' si verifica quando ci sono errori in un programma compilato per cui questo va a scrivere al di fuori delle zone di memoria assegnate, come ad es. quando con un puntatore in C si va fuori dello spazio di memoria allocato. Devo ricaricare il file dalla rete o devo insistere con l'installazione? ciao e grazie, Tommaso Prova a riscaricarlo e se non va, puoi provare a ricompilare i sorgenti (se sono disponibili). Se ancora non vanno, contatta l'autore del programma, eventualmente mandandogli il file di "core" che contiene una immagine del processo in memoria e permette al programmatore di risalire al problema. Dai il comando ulimit -c 100 per abilitare la generazione del file di core nel caso sia disabilitata. In generale consigliabile non eseguire come utente root programmi di cui non sia accertata la sicurezza. Antonio http://king.rett.polimi.it/~ant

Re: [newbie] Kernel Segmentation Fault, Null Pointer Derefence, kmalloc
You seem to have a memory problem. Yes. I played around with some of the BIOS settings now, and it seems to be working fine. It was the 15M/16M setting that allows for backwards compatibility with some ISA cards (which doesn't concern me, I have no required ISA peripherals in my computer!) What happens if both cards are removed.? The system works ^_^ I think it's a memory thing, because when I changed the BIOS settings (and reinstalled both cards with the exact same settings before), then the system booted properly and viola, everything workd out fine. O, on another thought, there was a problem with one tulip driver, but i did not see any mention of it causing an oops. Maybe a good idea to do a web search for words like tulip and do some reading, it could be you have that very problem. I think I'll consider upgrading. Unfortunately, I don't exactly know how. I'll have to hit that "Kernel-HOWTO" for compiling help :) I could use the knowledge.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0003 current- tss.cr3 = 03ee2000 %cr3 = 03ee2000 And then it kicks out and brings me to the Login Prompt. At this point, I cannot log in; if I try logging in as root, it gives me the error "kmalloc: size (303120) too large" (the number varies). You seem to have a memory problem. Right now, I have two Ethernet cards plugged into my machine and I have modified my /etc/modules.conf file to reflect that: alias eth0 tulip alias eth1 tulip The two cards are identical SMC EtherPower 10Mbps cards; they us a digital 21041-PB chipset. The model is SMC8432BT. They are both PCI cards. I've also tried removing one of the cards, but the segmentation fault still crops up, giving me slightly different numbers (too many to type out, I get about two pages worth of stack information).

[newbie] glibc segmentation fault problem?
Hi, I am having problems with a few programs coming in binary form, including acroread, matlab and dislin. Some of these programs are claimed to have been compiled in Red Hat Linux 6.0. When I run these programs I get segmentation faults. To get a hint on what's going on, I run them in the debugger and I get the following message: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x2ad3c291 in __getopt_clean_environment () from /lib/libc.so.6. From which I would assume that the problem originates from glibc. I am using the glibc-2.1.1-9mdk that came in the "Complete Linux Operating system 6.0" CD. Any help on this would be appreciated.
