When i am trying to add xfce4-sensor-plugin to the panel ( I am using xfce4 now), i am with no luck. The plugin would disappear, doing a "dmesg" and i found the following words: "xfce4-sensors-p[16477]: segfault at 0 ip b6940a03 sp bfd5d45c error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[b68c4000+164000]" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on the xfce4 panel, select "Add New Items",a dialog box would appear 2. Select "Sensor plugin", do some customization if you like. 3. Click "Add" to add this plugin to the panel. Actual Results: The plugin would disappear, actually it crashed. You can use dmesg to see this xfce4-sensors-p[16477]: segfault at 0 ip b6940a03 sp bfd5d45c error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[b68c4000+164000] Expected Results: The plugin is added to the panel. my emerge info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.1-r0, 2.6.33-zen2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.33-zen2-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T7100_@_1.80GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 06 May 2010 08:30:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p5 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r2, 3.1.2-r3 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.33 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests ccache collision-protect distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.163.com/gentoo http://61.135.158.199" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en en_US zh_CN " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/jokey /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/gentoo-taiwan /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects /usr/portage/local/layman/gentoo-china /usr/portage/local/layman/devnull /usr/portage/local/layman/rox /usr/portage/local/layman/perl-experimental /usr/portage/local/layman/games /usr/portage/local/layman/multimedia /usr/portage/local/layman /tools/overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="7zip X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa apache2 audiofile bash-completion berkdb binary-drivers bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr chroot cjk cleartype cli consolekit cracklib crypt cscope ctype cups cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr emboss encode esd exif expat fam fastbuild fbsplash firefox flac foomaticdb force-cgi-redirect fortran ftp gd gdbm gif glut gpm gstreamer gtk gtkhtml guile hal iconv idn imlib immqt-bc ipv6 jpeg kde4 laptop lcms ldap libnotify libwww lm_sensors mad memlimit midi mikmod mmx mng modules motif mozilla mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg openal opencl opengl openmp oss pam pango pcre pdf perl pmu png posix ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session simplexml slang soap sockets spell spl sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tiff tokenizer truetype unicode usb v4l v4l2 vdpau vim-syntax vorbis win32codecs wma x264 x86 xcb xcomposite xinerama xml xorg xscreensaver xsl xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="canon" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_US zh_CN " RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" XTABLES_ADDONS="cui gfw zhang ipset" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I have similar problem. But dmesg says: xfce4-sensors-p[29745]: segfault at 0 ip b6c7f1ff sp bfd90230 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5[b6c27000+ca000] xfce4-sensors-p[29860]: segfault at 0 ip b6c541ff sp bf85b970 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5[b6bfc000+ca000] xfce4-sensors-p[29921]: segfault at 0 ip b6d3e1ff sp bf8292c0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5[b6ce6000+ca000]
please attach a gdb backtrace. see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml and http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/panel_plugin_debug for more information.
I get the same problem I tried to get a stack track by remerging xfce4-sensors-plugins with -ggdb and FEATURES='nostrip' and following the insturctions to get a stacktrace from an xfce plugin, it was rather unhelpful: GNU gdb (Gentoo 7.1 p1) 7.1 Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

that doesn't look like it crashed
Yes, but from the users point of view unexpectedly exiting with error state 1 isn't any better. I forgot to mention that this is probably a hardware/driver specific bug because it started doing this after I changed motherboards on the same gentoo install. If you have any further suggestions as to how to debug this problem let me know and I will try.
well, as long as it doesn't segfault, that's a different bug. so, please open a new bug for your issue.
Sorry I wasn't clearer earlier. When I run it in gdb I get the Exit with code 01 posted above. But, when I run it without gdb i get the same segfault: xfce4-sensors-p[11147]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f151e5b0b52 sp 00007fff32dc11e8 error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[7f151e534000+150000] so it is the same bug, just running it in gdb somehow prevents the segfault an makes it exit unexpectedly.
Created attachment 240879 [details, diff] Patch which fixes segfault at the expense of possibly reduced functionality Additional research is required. I do not have time atm.
Oops, forgot to post this Experiencing the same problem. Attaching a temporary patch (solves the problem but possibly disables some functionality) which illustrates the problematic line. Apparently, font=0, hence the segfault when calling strlen(font). the problematic line is lib/configuration.c line 110
Same problem here. tail -f /var/log/messages says: Aug 23 17:40:42 tuxie kernel: [ 7379.401190] xfce4-sensors-p[7976]: segfault at 0 ip b6b4b693 sp bfae787c error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b6ad7000+143000] immediatelly after click on "Close" button in "Add applet" dialog. After downgrade to 0.10.99.6 I can't even start "Add applet" dialog. Running xfce4-sensors from console returns: $ xfce4-sensors *** glibc detected *** xfce4-sensors: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb78235b2 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6(+0x6c534)[0xb71ba534] /lib/libc.so.6(+0x6ddb3)[0xb71bbdb3] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x6d)[0xb71bed8d] /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_free+0x37)[0xb72f6c77] So potentially this is libc problem?
Livid's patch fixed problem for me also.
Same problem here. Can we have the patch in portage?
(In reply to comment #12) > Same problem here. Can we have the patch in portage? > agreed. from reading the patch it would be fairly trivial and better than running gkrellm just for one sensor to work.
I have confirmed that the patch by Livid works via an overlay with no other modifications. http://pastebin.com/ddcfkrth for the modified ebuild in full. Please update in portage. #PATCHES=( "${FILESDIR}/${P}-missing_includedir.patch" # "${FILESDIR}/${P}-without_libnotify.patch" #+ "${FILESDIR}/${P}-segfault.patch" )
