Bug 159272 – Gaim-2.0.0-beta5-r2 segfaults when attempting file transfer

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

[Description Kieran Simpson 2006-12-28 03:20:55 UTC]

When trying to receive a file over MSN gaim segfaults.

I've got got gaim compiled with USE="debug", but nothing else, therefore I don't know how helpful the bt is at the moment.  The most that can be deduced is that it's a thread issue.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

From bug report #158830: "Removing the .gaim dir seemed to fix the problem."

I tried that.  Removed the .gaim dir and the problem still occurs.

I too am using sys-apps/dbus-0.62-r2.  Might be a dbus problem similar to that of #149402.  Just a guess

If you believe this is the problem try upgrading to dbus-1.0.2 0.6x is known to have problems maybe net-im should just go ahead and force the new dbus-1.0.2.

Created attachment 106239 [details]
backtrace

[Comment 5 Cillian de Róiste 2007-01-09 18:21:03 UTC]

I believe I had a related issue. Gaim would crash as soon as I accepted a download, I've attached the backtrace. I stupidly entered this into the gaim tracker instead of here https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1628728&group_id=235
despite the message when emerging.
datallah kindly suggested using -dbus -mono which I have done and it appears to work fine now.

[Comment 6 Kieran Simpson 2007-01-23 04:17:48 UTC]

I upgraded to dbus-1.0.2  Aside from a world of pain due to dependency issues with things like HAL, it fixed the problem.  Therefore dbus-1.0.2 should be a dep for this package.  However the problems with packages like HAL and others will need to be addressed.

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-06-30 15:18:19 UTC]

Please, test with net-im/pidgin-2.0.2 and reopen if needed; gaim is dead.
