I want both debug log output (run as gaim -d) and a backtrace from gdb. Make sure you emerge gaim with USE="debug". Created attachment 54942 [details]
Output of gaim -d 2>&1 > gaim.log.2

Output of gdb gaim 2>&1 > gaim.log.gdb, followed by typing "backtrace" when it hung
I'm seeing the same problem on my system. My backtrace is: Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) dns[31520]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...! dns[31515]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...! (gdb) bt Cannot fetch general-purpose registers for thread -1213499728: generic error I am experiencing this as well... At first I thought it was random segfaults but maybe someone was trying to IM me... I also get a segfault when sending an IM... I tried going back to 1.1.4 but it's doing the same thing now... I wonder if a wipe out and reload of my gaim config file would fix it? I already purged my ~/.gaim, so that won't help. I'm experiencing the bug too (in both 1.2 & 1.1.4, I am going to try to build gaim from cvs. Wait, try Gaim 1.2.1 first. Just tried gaim 1.2.1, still crashes. Good luck with CVS, but this soon after a release, I doubt it'll help. You're right, the CVS version wouldn't even let me log on (it said my password was wrong -- I tried it with two different accounts). I also tried an older version of gaim not in portagge, 1.1.2, same crash so I'm guessing the problem is with one of its dependencies. Everybody else with the bug, please post your emerge info output, emerge -pv gaim's output, and the output of emerge -pv each of the following.

I was excited to see a new version when I sync'd today, but it still crashes the same way, so I'm thinking this must be a library that it is using that is killing it. root@firefly ~ > emerge info <- 3:23PM Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.10 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Feb 18 2005, 10:23:50)] distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks fixpackages prelink sandbox sfperms userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac aalib acpi acpi4linux alsa apache2 apm arts artswrappersuid avantgo avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bonobo cdr cgi crypt cups curl dba dvd dvdr emboss encode esd ethereal evo fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran freetype gd gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imagemagick imlib ipv6 irda irmc java javascript jpeg kde lcd ldap libg++ libwww live mad mikmod mjpeg mmx motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg oggvorbis ooo-kde opengl oss pam pcmcia pda pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang speex spell sse sse2 ssl stream svga tcltk tcpd threads tiff transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales videos vim-with-x wxwindows xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS [ebuild R ] net-im/gaim-1.2.1 -cjk -debug -eds -gnutls -krb4 -nas +nls +perl -silc +spell +tcltk 0 kB [ebuild R ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.4-r1 -debug -doc +jpeg -static +tiff 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-libs/glib-2.6.3 -debug -doc 0 kB [ebuild N ] media-libs/nas-1.7-r1 -static 1,258 kB [ebuild R ] media-libs/libao-0.8.6 +alsa +arts +esd -mmap -nas -static 0 kB [ebuild R ] media-libs/audiofile-0.2.6-r1 365 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.6-r4 +berkdb -debug -doc +gdbm -ithreads -perlsuid (-uclibc) 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.21 217 kB [ebuild R ] app-text/gtkspell-2.0.4-r1 -doc 192 kB [ebuild R ] net-libs/gnutls-1.2.0 +crypt -doc +zlib 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-libs/nss-3.9.2-r2 4,623 kB [ebuild N ] net-im/silc-toolkit-0.9.12-r3 -debug +ipv6 2,487 kB [ebuild R ] gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.0.4 -debug -doc +ldap 0 kB [ebuild N ] app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.6-r1 -krb4 -static 6,380 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/tcl-8.4.9 +threads 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/tk-8.4.9 +threads 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-util/pkgconfig-0.15.0 596 kB [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gettext-0.14.2 -emacs +nls 0 kB Thanks, Paul The one provided backtrace doesn't appear _too_ helpful. Here is what I need. In your make.conf, add "debug" to your USE flags, "nostrip" to your FEATURES, and "-g" to your CFLAGS. Then rebuild glib, gtk+ and gaim and get a gdb backtrace. Perhaps this is the same bug as 87881? I ran into this problem randomly on my desktop several months ago. Not sure what solved the problem, but seem to remember turning off spell checking during compile helped. Not so here. I've spent some time compiling and recompiling trying with different options: 1. debug 2. -spell 3. no plugins 4. gaim 1.2.0 5. gaim 1.2.1 6. recompiling all immediate dependencies from gaim ebuild 7. revdep-rebuild.sh checks 8. Yahoo 9. Jabber 10. ldd many of the libs and check dependencies 11. rm all /tmp files Nothing as of yet seems to work. I would tend toward a library problem (where Rich is pointing in a previous post), but nothing repeatable as of yet. I did upgrade to linux 2.6 headers and nptlonly last week, but recompiled glibc and gaim under the new regime. Worked great last week. The first error today was something about not being able to write to /tmp/mcop-myuser. Logged out and removed everything in /tmp.

That fixed it for me. Switching the sound definitely fixed it. These last few days of using the crappy alternative IM clients really made me appreciate how nice gaim truly is. Ugh I should have thought of this, since it comes up like every two weeks. Yes please check that your sound settings are correct. The problem is a bug in libao with arts. To work around it, you could use ESD (if you have ESD installed) or (as I do) manually define a command. I have "aplay -q %s" defined for my sound command. Feel free to let the libao people know how you feel. http://www.xiph.org/ao/ I'll wait for a few other confirmed fixes before closing this out. Please indicate what version of media-libs/libao you are currently on. Switching to either esd or command-based aplay works for me. Thanks for the help. The fix worked for me as well, here's the libao -pv info: [ebuild R ] media-libs/libao-0.8.6 +alsa +arts +esd -mmap +nas* -static 0 kB OK I'm resolving this as UPSTREAM with libao. I've filed a bug there and a gaim developer has chimed in with cases of his own. http://trac.xiph.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/644 *** Bug 97852 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 115271 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
