https://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/bugs/37/ I've tried to look at the coredump, but in the first place I have very poor understanding of GDB, and at the same time I'm wondering it the dump is actually useful. If it took out X, then surely it won't match anything in Yoshimi.
I asked for more info, and this has been provided.
Hi all, basically I can just concur to what has been said already. Today I tried to look at those core dumps, but without much success. The immediate problem for me are missing debug symbols. The dump was created on Arch, while I am on Debian; both distros have different versions of the libraries involved and different mechanisms to install debug symbols. And while I tried installing symbols for the libgio, libglib and libgtk3, I still was not able to get anything other displayed by GDB than binary information. If one succeeded with loading the appropriate debug symbols, there would be the (rather faint) hope that an experienced programmer might guess / extrapolate the reason for the crash, by poking around in the variables and stack frames along the stack trace. If we are about to clutch at every straw, another idea we might consider is, if the User reporting the crash is able to run Yoshimi under GDB. Because there is (again the rather faint) hope that the yoshimi process receives some kind of trap or signal and thus drops out to the gdb prompt prior to unwinding stacks. However, I am reluctant to recommend this, since it's not clear the user is able to carry out that procedure, and moreover most likely the only thing we might be able to conclude is, that yoshimi was in normal operation, or that yoshimi was already shutting down -- likely without any clue regarding the reason. So seems we're out of luck. Yoshimi does "something" which causes FLTK to interact with X in ways that cause the window manager to do something out-of-band, leading to a crash within the desktop environment or session manager. -- Hermann _______________________________________________ Yoshimi-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/yoshimi-devel
