Description Bengt Månsson 2018-02-02 13:26:43 UTC

Description of problem:
Segmentation fault each start

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
swami-2.0.0-14.20110806svn386.fc27.x86_64

How reproducible:
each time

Steps to Reproduce:
$ swami


Actual results:
libswami-Message: Loading plugins from /usr/lib64/swami/
libswami-Message: Loaded 4 plugins
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

No GUI started


Expected results:
No output but GUI start

Additional info:
Installed fc27 as full net installation (no dnf). Reformatted everything except /home.
I think it worked with fc25 but I'm not planning to go back.

Comment 1 Axel Sommerfeldt 2018-10-22 07:22:14 UTC

Same problem on Fedora 28 and 29.

Upstream bug report in devel mailing list:

https://sourceforge.net/p/swami/mailman/message/36413093/

(Unfortunately without response)

Comment 2 Orcan Ogetbil 2018-10-23 00:30:11 UTC

I suspect it is because of the invalid pointer cast (with GPOINTER_TO_INT) on 64bit systems. If my conjecture is correct the crash wouldn't happen with the 32bit builds.

I am not a glib programmer but I made this quick test build. Could you try it out?

Comment 3 Axel Sommerfeldt 2018-10-23 08:02:48 UTC

Hi Orcan,

Yes, now Swami starts again (F29 x86_64), thank you very much.

Have you checked if this bug was already fixed upstream? (It seems the version offered in Fedora is about 7 years old?)

Comment 4 Orcan Ogetbil 2018-10-24 01:17:13 UTC

Hi Axel,
I just checked. The upstream code base got modified a lot, but they didn't make a release in years. Updating swami quite likely entails updating libinstpatch as well. This would be a bigger update which requires more time than I have right now.
