Bug 135493 – Sussen 0.22 crashes on scanning

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Markus Saarinen 2006-06-04 03:39:00 UTC]

Filing new bug as requested in Bug 133935.

# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge sussen
# equery list --installed | grep sussen
net-analyzer/sussen-0.22

sussen-agent --scan works and produces the report, but the GUI
doesn't work. 

First, it opens the main window normally when I choose 'scan system' from the
applet, but then the problems start.
If I push 'cancel' button it dies right away ('The application "sussen"
has quit unexpectedly'). If I push 'execute' it displays
'Collecting data from the system...' and then 'analyzing system data...'.
After doing that for about fifty seconds, it again crashes with same error.
Nothing is logged to any syslogs as far as I know.

I will try to get mono debugging info as suggested.

Thank you for report! I've managed to reproduce problem with cancel and forwardered bug upstream [1], while I could see results of scanning opened in bluefish html editor :)

Reference:
1. https://dev.mmgsecurity.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=56

BTW. To get debugging information it was enough for me to start sussen from console and look at output.

[Comment 2 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2006-06-04 11:13:59 UTC]

sussen-0.22-r1.ebuild in cvs. Please test it. Crash when cancel button is pressed during execution should be fixed.

About another issue, please take a look at upstream bugzilla. Seems that without backtrace there is nothing to do here. :)

[Comment 3 Markus Saarinen 2006-06-05 04:44:59 UTC]

Plot thickens :)
The reason it didn't open the results earlier was that there was no default
handler for html files (which is odd as I had firefox-bin installed), but after
manually setting Firefox as html handler, the opening started to work.

So with new version the situation is as follows.

when starting with sussen-applet --tray-icon:
Everything works perfectly. Cancel exits, and execute opens the
results. No errors - patch helped.

when starting thru normal panel applet:
Cancel crashes as before. Execute opens the report (as I now have changed
the html handler to Firefox), but also crashes.

I didn't see any errors in my console at any point as you did. Maybe I'm 
missing some debug flags somewhere...

[Comment 4 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2006-06-05 07:08:53 UTC]

Thank you for report, Markus. sussen-0.22-r2.ebuild in portage. Please test it. I hope crash of gnome panel aplet should be fixed there. :)

Strange. I do not know :(

[Comment 5 Markus Saarinen 2006-06-06 03:18:59 UTC]

Ok, seems we're all set. No more crashing anywhere. Report opens
as it should and no more unexpected exits. Case closed, as far as I'm
concerned :).

I'm very glad to read that. Thank you!
