[newbie] Mozilla segmentation fault.

2005-04-03 Per discussione Malcolm Candlish
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.

[newbie-it] Segmentation fault

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.

visto che danno la versione 2.8.0 come stabile quindi superiore a questa da poca

Io ho scaricato la krename-2.5.4-2mdk.i586.rpm ed è partita tranquillamente... ora

Si effetivamente ho confuso con la 1.8.0 della kde2 che io credevo 2.8.0.

Re: [newbie] Opera segmentation fault

2001-07-05 Per discussione Sridhar Dhanapalan

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

2001-03-11 Per discussione Antonio Bonifati

 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.

There are 3 packages associated with netscape
netscape-common   -- this one is required  

netscape-communicator -- full netscape package, browser, news, mail, editor,
and a bunch of other stuff

netscape-navigator -- just the browser

Which combination to you have installed? You should have netscape-common and
one of the others. If you have both communicator  navigator installed, you
might have problems. if you do not have either communicator or navigator
installed, you will have problems.

Personally, I feel that the communicator package is a bit of a waste. There are
better mail, news and html editors available than what is included.
Communicator also seems to be less stable than navigator.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Segmentation Fault, Null Pointer Derefence, kmalloc

1999-09-25 Per discussione Arcana

 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.  It's the road to becoming a Linux

 "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).  Here are some
 of the error messages I get:

What happens if both cards are removed.?

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.

 Unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0003

{ snipped } all the oops, its no good to anyone realy, it has to be
debugged on your system against your System.map
Altho, a real expert could see some information from some of the
addresses, but sending an oops like this to this list is of no use at
all.

 Code: 8b 43 3d fe00 00 00 77 3a c1 e0 04 b9 00 e0 ff ff 03 43
 kmalloc: Size (864272) too large 

The above means to much memory is being grabbed, another reason to
check out that tulip idea of mine.

 Since the hard drive check comes up all right, I'm going to presume that
 it's NOT the hard drive (I was getting suspicious, since I dropped it a
 week ago, but I ran a bunch of surface scans on it and it seemed all
 right).  I think I will consider pulling the P-100 out of the closet to
 try it on that to see if it is in fact a BIOS error, unless, of course,
 one of you who are more knowledgeable than I am can help me out.

I douubt very much if this has the slightest to do with your disk.

 
 I run:
 
 233-K6 AMD;

I trust not an overclocked CPU that _could_ indirectly cause you
problems espesaly memory problems.


 ATI Graphics Xpression (Mach64 chipset) 2 meg;
 2 SMC 8432BT Etherpower cards; I use the Tulip driver;
 3.5 gig Fujitsu hard drive
 
 
 
 
   Please reply to my request.  Before, I had this problem but no one
 replied to it to help me out.

Never saw another request for help from you, i possably missed it.

[newbie] glibc segmentation fault problem?

1999-07-26 Per discussione Gey-Hong Gweon

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.

Thanks,
