I can't use gnumeric or abiword since clicking on the file menu of either application causes them to crash. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run abiword or gnumeric 2. Click on file menu 3. Actual Results: Crash (segfault) Expected Results: Not crash This doesn't happen with all GTK2 apps; all of Firefox's menus are fine for example.
Created attachment 38585 [details] Abiword debug output and stack trace
Created attachment 38586 [details] Gnumeric debut output I could not get a stack trace from gnumeric since it would crash before even starting up when I ran it under gdb.
Created attachment 38587 [details] My emerge info Here is my emerge info. I'm currently running 2.4.27 grsec kernel but I also had the problem under a vanilla 2.4.26 kernel.
I forgot to mention the versions of gnumeric and abiword: app-office/gnumeric-1.2.13 * app-office/abiword-2.0.10 *
looks like some icon/gdk pixbuf problem, but i think it's probably something alpha related. What version of gtk+ are you using ? upgraded your libpng recently ?
My gtk version is: x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.4 * As far as libpng, here's my emerge history. I recently updated for a libpng security fix but I have had this problem for a few months. It's possible that it started in May. * media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r4 Emerged at: Sun Dec 7 18:36:28 2003 Build time: 2 minutes, and 44 seconds Emerged at: Fri Dec 12 18:32:18 2003 Build time: 3 minutes, and 33 seconds * media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r5 Emerged at: Sat May 15 22:04:45 2004 Build time: 3 minutes, and 42 seconds * media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r6 Emerged at: Tue May 18 09:34:56 2004 Build time: 3 minutes, and 27 seconds * media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r7 Emerged at: Sun Jul 11 03:26:49 2004 Build time: 5 minutes, and 23 seconds * media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r8 Emerged at: Fri Aug 13 00:01:34 2004 Build time: 4 minutes, and 10 seconds
try rebuilding your libpng, see if it helps. After that try to upgrade gtk+ to the latest ~alpha version (2.4.9)
Tried rebuilding libpng and no luck. I emerged gtk+ but must not have synced lately so I now have 2.4.7. I still get the problem. I'll try 2.4.9 tonight. Thanks for the suggestions
Emerged gtk+-2.4.9 and I still get the crash. I'll rebuild gtk+ with debug to get a better stack trace.
These kind of gnumeric crashes have sometimes been traced to corrupt themes. Perhaps you should try to change your theme and see whether the problem continues.
Created attachment 39175 [details] Another abiword stack trace ( a little different) I rebuilt gtk+ with debug and no strip and did another stack trace. It came out slightly different although I still didn't get any more debug info. I'll try switching themes next. The theme switch program I have now keeps segfaulting so I'll have to try another. Any other ideas?
Well, I was never able to figure this out, so I ended up rebuilding my whole system. With my new system I don't get the problem anymore.
all right
