Bug 104178 – segfault in mysql-administrator

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Dean Pierce 2005-08-29 13:19:32 UTC]

On a fresh install of mysql, when I run mysql-administrator, and click the "New
User" button in the "User Administration" panel, I get an immediate segfault.

Also, I get this error
(mysql-administrator-bin:15893): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting

and a bunch of these errors
** (mysql-administrator-bin:15893): CRITICAL **: draw_box: assertion `height >=
-1' failed

Just from that I would guess this has something to do with the way
mysql-administrator is using GTK

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run mysqladministrator
2. click into the user administration menu
3. click the "new user" button

Actual Results:  
segfault

Expected Results:  
It seems like it should have added a new user

I have no problem using it.

Which version of mysql are you using?

[Comment 2 Sven Wegener 2005-08-29 16:36:56 UTC]

bleh, that should've been gtk+ and also which version of gtkmm

[Comment 3 Martin Schwier 2005-10-11 09:38:36 UTC]

Same problem here with gtkmm-2.2.12 gtk+-2.6.8

[Comment 4 Jay Phelps 2005-12-10 21:23:56 UTC]

When I click on the user administration menu I receive this error on the console:
(mysql-administrator-bin:25081): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting
It also opens a error dialog stating "Could not retrieve user privilege
information'.

I click OK to close the error dialog and then if I click on the New User button
it segfaults.

dev-cpp/gtkmm (2.4.11), x11-libs/gtk+ (2.6.10-r1) & dev-db/mysql-administrator
(1.1.2)

If you have issues with dev-db/mysql-gui-tools, file a new bug please. dev-db/mysql-administrator ebuild was removed.
