program crashes on SIGSEGV, how debug it?

[Frantisek Hanzlik]

I compile program (on F14 i386), but this crashes after start (probably in some
initialization phase) on SEGV. After installing appropriate debuginfo packages,
its backtrace is this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
_dl_lookup_symbol_x (undef_name=0x30bde3 "using_xterm", undef_map=0x862e0a0,
ref=0xbffef550, symbol_scope=0x862e258, version=0x0, type_class=1, flags=1,

#5  0x0805e335 in main (argc=1, argv=0xb764) at emu.c:426

Know anyone what about it? These points #2 - #0 are beyond all my understanding.
Maybe they are some glibc routines? Or GDB own routines?
Eventually know anyone some links/reference to cram course about this problems?

For clarification, this program is probably OK - compiled from same sources and
with same options it run on several F13/i386 machines, and, what weird, it run
on two F14/i386 PCs too. But on other two or three PCs crashes as above.

Referenced line in "terminal.c" is:

403
404if (using_xterm())
405  Video_term.change_config = term_change_config;

and function "using_xterm()" is defined in same source file as:

305
306 int using_xterm(void)
307 {
308char *term = getenv("TERM");
309
310if (term == NULL)
311   return 0;
312
313return !strncmp("xterm", term, 5) ||
314!strncmp("rxvt", term, 4) ||
315!strcmp("dtterm", term);
316 }
317


Many thanks in advance, Franta Hanzlik

There are indeed a gazillion or so clock options you can
specify on the kernel command line. Perhaps making it
use a different clock source would work better. (The kernel

which isn't actually true on the motherboard in question).

I agree it wouldn't hurt to check, but AFAIK, Linux only reads the CMOS 
clock on startup and until shutdown keeps track of time using CPU cycles

You could use a text-only MIME email client.  The mht (htm spelt
backwards) is, virtually, the same as a multi-part email, in HTML format
(all the content, text and encoded graphics, being concatenated into one
text file).

While the mht file isn't actually an email message, but a webpage and
contents all in one file, it's virtually the same format (descriptive
headers, and content parts).

I'd still check, or simply replace, the battery.  Some PCs do weird

I appreciate the sqlite lesson, but does not answer the question where

If you installed F12 from the install DVD, wvdial-1.60-10.fc12 is on that, in
the Packages/ directory. If you haven't updated yet (due to not being able to go
online), then any necessary dependencies to install it should be on the DVD as
well.

Well Ii found the file all right. I did not change profiles. The
places.sqlite file does not contain anything that looks like my former
bookmarks. Nor will Firefox display what is in the file as bookmarks.
So now what?

I guess I am a traditionalist and long for the good old days when the
bookmarks were in a bookmarks.html file. Now there is  a bookmarks.html
file which represents evidently the bookmarks toolbar which seems more
rational.

Is there some registry somewhere where we tell people what we are
using and that we are willing to test?

For the record, F13 on a Gigabyte 880GM-USB3 with a dual-core AMD
Phenom II (that reportedly could be unlocked to quad-core). While I
got dual-display working at 1920x1080 each, one of which is rotated. I
don't have MIDI working, nor can I use the surround sound. I just have
basic stereo.

I had the fglrx driver working for a while, then it mysteriously
stopped working with newer kernels and now the radeon driver works
beautifully. Though not nearly as fast as the fglrx driver, at least I
don't have white lines at the edge of the rotated monitor.

No but the version of claws in FC14 is buggy as  whenever the
connection is lost and it fails to reconnect.

It may be worth running your live balsa under valgrind if you can
reproduce the problem and can cope with it being a bit slower running.
That may give useful diagnostics on things like memory scribbles - which
are the first guess mess up for threaded apps.

I imagine the process is this.

(1) Use some software, watch it crash.

(2) Install the debuginfo packages

(3) Use it again til it crashes

(4) File a bug report

Right?

The few times in the past where I did feel adventurous, it wasn't
enough to get rawhide working at the time. I came really close when a
particular version of Fedora didn't like my video card, but I found a
way to manage.

Actually, this last idea doesn't sound too bad. With hardware so cheap
nowadays, I might as well buy one for myself and three for some
developers. It'd be cheaper than the time. ;-)

Speaking of which, how does Fedora handle testing on hardware? Do we
just rely on individual developers and testers running Rawhide, or is
there a computer lab somewhere running umpteen different
configurations of hardware?

It depends a lot what the hardware is. If it's a variant of existing
hardware that is badly supported or the like then even with no tech
skills you can still be extremely helpful as a tester for anyone working
on it, or to assist the actual maintainer in checking it works with that
card variant for example.

Nothing in xsession-errors seems to indicate a segfault in the Java
plugin.

The above line from /var/log/... does indicate a problem with Flash
though. I'd try disabling flash to see if it still crashes. If not, you
know that Flash is definitely the problem and can then concentrate on
narrowing down what within flash is the issue..

File bugs, and read bugs, both in the Fedora bugzilla and upstream (for 
whatever project). Often, hardware bugs will end up as "NEEDINFO" 
because the developer doesn't have the right hardware. You can help fill 
that gap by supplying the requested logs and running tests.

You learn a lot just by reading bug reports in your area of interest, 
even if they don't affect you directly.

Install lots of *-debuginfo packages, so that crashing software supplies 
good backtraces.

If you feel adventurous, install rawhide on a spare computer, so you can 
file bugs early. Do not use rawhide on a must-work system. It WILL cause 
grief.

Buy cool hardware for developers, and for people who reply to you on 
mailing lists :-)

I had same problem in fc13. Solved by removing nspluginwrapper.
You don't need it, to watch flash. No errors in logs, after removing 
it.

Helping with Hardware

[Jonathan Gardner]

I've been using Linux for over 10 years, and I've been with Red Hat
since the 7.2 days and I've been using Fedora since it was first
announced.

I've never gotten around to dealing with hardware issues seriously,
instead content to let things be and just hope the next release fixes
the problems I see. (It's surprising how well wait-and-upgrade works
as a strategy in Fedora!)

My question is, how can I contribute to Fedora and thus the larger
Linux community through getting my hardware better supported? Or is it
just not suitable for a lay-person who knows how to program but
doesn't already have a background in these things to get involved?

Do I need to set up my system so either I use it for work or I use it
to tinker with the hardware but not both at the same time?

The only way that I know of to open mht (windows web archive) files is
with firefox. There are a couple of addons that enable firefox to do so.
I use:

Well, what gets me (and still does I think) is the utter inability
to guess which logfiles get processed for which services and which
lines from the logfiles are selected as "belonging" to some service.
Nothing in the docs gave me any idea of the overall top down
flow of log processing.

Fedora on a Viewsonic G Tablet

[Linuxguy123]

I'm in dire need of a tablet and I want it to run Linux, preferably
Fedora.

I'm considering a Viewsonic G tablet as reviewed here:
http://www.linuxslate.org/Review_Viewsonic_G-Tablet_Android_Tablet.html

Does anyone know of anyone running Fedora on this device ?

Does anyone know of any show stoppers to do so ?

Thanks

Thanks Rich,

I followed the examples, but when I tried "logwatch --service myfilter" I
was geting an error:
Logwatch does not know how to process service: myfilter

I solved THAT by correcting the name of myfilter in
/etc/logwatch/conf/services from myfilter to myfilter.conf

Now it's working now I can concentrate on the actual report. :-)

Cheers!

So, for anybody else looking to add a report section in logwatch

your filter config file goes here: /etc/logwatch/conf/services and must be
named .conf
the actual filter goes here: /etc/logwatch/scripts/services and must be
named 

Where  is whatever you want to call it... it just has to be the
same in both places... makes sense.

Then logwatch --service  will produce your report.

The filter itself is assumed to be written in Perl, so use Perl syntax in
your filter script. Apparently you can configure a different languagein the
.conf file, but I didn't bother figuring that out... it was simpler to do
what I need in Perl than to figure out the nuances of Logwatch
configuration. ;-)

Now that I've actually done it once, it seems pretty simple... so why did it
appear so complicated in the doc? hmmm.

Re: java and firefox crashes on FC13

[Alex]

Hi,

> *** NSPlugin Wrapper ***

Can someone tell me if they also have these warnings and errors in
their ~/.xsession-errors?

How about this from /var/log/messages:

Dec  6 20:07:11 alex kernel: npviewer.bin[8869]: segfault at 418 ip

It would be helpful to know if this problem is local to my machine or
is occurring elsewhere...

Thanks,

I should have mentioned that I did this as well. I used ntpdate to
sync the time, then ran ntpd. I don't think ntpq ever reported it had
connected to a peer. The clock skews too fast for it to be able to
sync.

Length? Xen is not involved here in any way. This is a simple install
of FC13 on x86_64.

Could this have something to do with power management?

Can't tell you what happened, but I can tell you the
bookmarks are stashed in the file:

~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/places.sqlite

Perhaps the sqlite file got clobbered or you

Re: External harddrive not spinning down on suspend

It should help you understand what and how it happens.

Restore your pm-utils system to its previous (original state) as asked in
my previous post, which you should look at and understand.

Then you should run both, suspend-suspend and suspend-resume, on your machine
(even if unsuccessful in its objectives) and capture and save it for later
analysis (the logs are overwritten).
By comparing mine and yours you may find the breaking points in execution).
You should concentrate on the first part (suspend-suspend) first - this is
where your external usb harddisk is recognized and handled.

During suspend-suspend, the PM info (APM level) of the harddisk device is
retrieved via hdparm utility, then saved in script '99hd-apm-restore.hook
suspend' (see the script).
First, look at your harddisk and see if APM is supported at all.

# hdparm -I /dev/sda
Your external usb harddisk is /dev/sdb (see your dmesg).

# hdparm -I "/dev/sda" |grep "Advanced Power"
   *Advanced Power Management feature set

# hdparm -I /dev/sda |grep "Advanced power"
Advanced power management level: 254

Look at script 99hd-apm-restore.hook to see how this info is checked for.

This PM info (or rather saved APM state) is restored when script
'99hd-apm-restore.hook resume' is executed later on during suspend-resume.
This is visible in the log.

gnome-pm execute a command on resume

[François Patte]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Bonjour,

I can suspend and resume successfully my laptop. One thing only is not
working on resume:

I had to add this command in my /etc/rc.local to have bluetooth working:

hid2hci

When the laptop resumes from suspend, this command has to be run to have
the bluetooth services on.

Where do I have to put this command if I want it executed automacally on
resume?

Thank you.

Re: command wvdial not found

Hi,

the link you gave me does not work. No way to find something like wvdial.

I guess the solution at this point is just wait until i'll find another way to 
connect to internet in fedora.

Thank you

Of cource it needs an internet connection to work, Either that or you must have

Try.

Boot into Windows if you have it.

Download wvdial from



Use x86_64 if you have a 64 bit system

Copy it to a USB key

Boot into fedora.

copy wvdial to local disk

Them

yum localinstall wvdial

Assuming the NCTuns is from http://nsl10.csie.nctu.edu.tw/, checking
their support page:
http://nsl10.csie.nctu.edu.tw/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1034&sid=366fc024a6ec7a9c298103c5636dc58b
shows that their version for Fedora 12 was released earlier this year.
I think it will be updated and perhaps you should contact them.

I do wish also, that the tool was open sourced, but it does not seem
to be.

As others have pointed out, for yum to work, it needs an link to the Internet
unless you can point yum to a local repository.

But, having said that, would you be able to consider the following
setup:
a) Do you have the package that you must run, NCTUns, available
to be reinstalled?
b) Is your computer capable of running virtual machines?
c) If your answers to a) and b) above are yes, then you might
want to install F14 on your existing machine, create a virtual
machine and install Fedora 12 in the VM and install NCTUns
in it.

Can you also contact the NCTUns folks to get them to update their
stuff to F14?

The output is not detailed enough. You would need to increase the

Take a close look at the output of

  yum -d 255 repolist

and verify that for the Repo-Id "fedora" you can see a valid Repo-metalink
for the Fedora mirror list, which you can access/download without
problems.

I don't think there are any dependencies for wvdial. So it should be ok to 
just download it and localinstall it.

yum needs an internet connection to download the packages for you. I
think what you have to do is download the packages you want manually
from the repos using some other computer with an internet connection.
Then you can install with yum using,

$ yum install /path/to/rpm/*.rpm

But the difficult part is, you would need to figure out and download
all the dependencies for your package yourself. I think the easiest
solution for you is to go to some cafe/shop with free wifi (Starbucks,
McDonalds or their equivalent in your country) and use the wifi to
install your package with yum. Or you could connect using ethernet.
Either way, getting connected to the internet somehow is the solution.

Re: command wvdial not found

[Adil Adil]

Hi,

I'll answer your questions:
I want use F12 because i want to use a software (NCTUns) that was tested only 
in F12.
The model of modem is "HDM EC122".

The problem now is that even yum does not work properly. Does it nead an 
internet connection to work properly?

because once i'm in fedora i'm not connected to internet.

I did :

yum clean metadata 
yum install wvdial

but did not change anything.

Thank you

What model 3G modem are you using?  And, is there a reason you want to
use F12 (which reached EOL earlier this month)?.

IIRC, you do not need anything fancy for get the 3G USB to work on Fedora
since F11 I think (or it might have been F12).

wvdial is available in the Fedora Everything repo for Fedora 12

wvdial-1.60-10.fc12.i686.rpm

Make sure the Fedora Everything repo is enabled.
Try the following

yum clean metadata
yum install wvdial


Hope this helps

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. After executing the command you gave me, I realised 
that I have a problem with my yum

Here is the output:
--
[r...@localhost ~]# yum provides */bin/wvdial
Modules complémentaires chargés : presto, refresh-packagekit
Erreur : Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: 
fedora. Please verify its path and try again


The text in french means: Additional modules loaded.

I'm using fedora12 (i don't want to upgrade to a newer version).

Thank you

Hi Craig,

You could try replacing the monitor/screen part in your xorg.conf file 
with what I will add here. It worked for my Fujitsu/Siemens.
If your hardware is..
VendorName  "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
  BoardName   "771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter"

Try it anyway it may just work??

Make copy of your xorg.conf.
Replace the part mentioned.
Reboot.
Should it not work it will boot in console then replace with origanal.

command wvdial not found

[Adil Adil]

Hi,

I want to use my 3G modem in F12. the manufacturer gives automatic intallation 
software for mac and win only.

I checked on internet, I found there is a way to do that using "wvdial". But I 
cannot find it. Does this command have another name in fedora?

Thanks

Re: [Fedora] Re: [Fedora] Re: VirtualBox VBoxVMM.so: cannot open shared object file

[Walter Cazzola]

Hi,
thanks for the help, I didn't recompile it but googling around I found
that it is enough to run:

  find /usr/lib64/virtualbox/ -name \*.so -exec ln -s -t /lib64 '{}' ';'

to fix the issue

Hi,

Did you tried to compile yourself the kernel module for the
Virtualbox? Is not an hassle, needs an bunch of package, but always
works. Clean everything what you have did for VBox, even the hidden
conf files too in your home folder.

Here is how I do always:

1. Go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
2. Get the latest Fedora RPM
3. Install that through automatic installer, it will install few Qt
modules too, but doesn't bother

For kernel modules:

1. IF the earlier install successfully done - do: yum install gcc
kernel-devel kernel-headers (it's cca 25 Mb)
2. to set up the modules:
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r` --->enter
export KERN_DIR  ---> enter
3. usermod -a -G vboxusers the_user_name
4. /etc /init.d /vboxdrv setup
5. After compiling: Enjoy - and works every way.

Cheers,

Zoltan

2010/12/6 Walter Cazzola :

Dear Linuxers,
I've the same problem the original op raised and more than a month later
this is still unsolved (at least on my machine).

I've installed:
 - dkms-2.1.0.1-1.fc12.noarch
 - VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-2.fc13.x86_64
 - kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-1.fc13.9.x86_64

still a FC13 with the repo Steven's suggested but yum says that nothing
needs to be updated and still VirtualBox silently quit with the
VBoxVMM.so missing message.

Any idea?

Walter

This thread suggests it has something to do with glibc:

This thread suggests it has been fixed:

If all of this information is correct will it soon become part of the

Thanks - Tod


I strongly recommend installing Virtual Box from the repo at
VirtualBox.org.  Scroll down a bit on
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads to find instructions for
installing the repo. After that, "yum update" keeps things in line.
