Paul, After I sent my last message, I removed two completely empty placeholders for my NVDIA card from /usr/share/applications (plus discarded a small number of dead entries for applications which no longer exist on my system) and as they say in Gay Paris, Voila!, no more segmentation faults when attempting to add/update/remove applications.

Re: [Bug 59392] Re: update-desktop-database segfault
Paul,
Oh yea, get the group_name error you describe below. For whatever
reason, the apps that are associated with this problem are OpenOffice,
Java runtime, and Yelp. Any installation which touches these apps
provokes the error and leads to a 139 exit. None of these apps can be
removed or reconfigured.

Hi Bill!
Do you have g_key_file_get_string_list: assertion `group_name != NULL' failed

If not, I would probably consider it a different bug, that should be reported
in a new bug report.
In that case, you may want to explore in GUI /var/crash, and 'double-'click
the crash file to be guided in reporting bug.
Well, while trying to learn what is update-desktop-database, I extracted code
I believe to be the culprit (seems the same in Gutsy and Hardy):
static void
process_desktop_file (const char *desktop_file,
const char *name,
GError **error)
{
GError *load_error;
GKeyFile *keyfile;
char **mime_types;
int i;
keyfile = g_key_file_new ();
load_error = NULL;
g_key_file_load_from_file (keyfile, desktop_file,
G_KEY_FILE_NONE, load_error);
if (load_error != NULL)
{
g_propagate_error (error, load_error);
return;
}
mime_types = g_key_file_get_string_list (keyfile,
g_key_file_get_start_group
(keyfile),
MimeType, NULL, load_error);
g_key_file_free (keyfile);
As I have no clue at all what that code does, I'll need a bit of time to
undestand it. ;-)
That said, when I do:
sudo apt-get remove yelp
on my Hardy system, I get no error at all.

[Bug 70681] Re: sane/xsane crashes with hplip and officejet parallel printer/scanner
While Ubuntu's latest Edgy distro could be configured to print to my networked OfficeJet 7210, neither the xSane nor Kooka scanning applications could find the OfficeJet as a scanning device. There is a fix, however. Download and install the latest incarnation of hplip (1.7.3) from http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html. This release is substantially more recent than the version packaged with latest version of Edgy. During the installation process, you probably will encounter some dependency warnings and and some Postfix questions pertaining to mail. But if you've had a modest amount of Linux experience, none of these should prove daunting. I should add that I ran the installation as sudo and have not attempted to run it as an ordinary user. As the installation finishes, you'll be presented with a graphical dialog asking a few questions about your OfficeJet print/fax/scan configuration, but all are pretty straightforward. -- sane/xsane crashes with hplip and officejet parallel printer/scanner https://launchpad.net/bugs/70681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
