Hi, Thank you for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it is very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces for more information about getting a useful stack trace. Specifically, you'll need to install fvwm and fvwm-debuginfo. This yum command should work: yum --enablerepo=extras-debuginfo install fvwm-debuginfo fvwm Once that's done, try starting X using the "failsafe session". Once the xterm appears, try running fvwm using gdb as given here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#gdb If it crashes again, please grab the stacktrace and append it to this bug. Thanks! This turns out to not be a "bug" with the software, but was caused by having depreciated values in the fvwm2rc config file (that worked in 2.4.20) that prevented the Xsession from launching. The 'MenuStyle', 'FvmwButtons', and 'wmconfig' syntax were the culprits. |
Description of problem: I installed fvwm-2.5.21-4.fc6.x86_64.rpm, and when I tried to launch my session from the login screen, I get an error that the session lasted less than 10 seconds, and it quits, returning my to my login prompt. dmesg has the following output: > Mar 21 17:42:11 kitsuma Installed: fvwm.x86_64 2.5.21-4.fc6 > Mar 21 17:42:33 kitsuma kernel: fvwm2[6454]: segfault at 00007fffec2e93d8 > rip 0000000000425cb3 rsp 00007fffe74800a0 error 4 > Mar 21 17:44:42 kitsuma kernel: fvwm2[2709]: segfault at 00007fffb8b62e88 > rip 0000000000425cb3 rsp 00007fffb3cf9b50 error 4 > Mar 21 17:45:59 kitsuma Erased: fvwm Manual install of fvwm 2.4.20 from a tarred source works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fvwm-2.5.21-4.fc6.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Everytime I tried to launch X Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fvwm rpm from the Fedora extras repo. 2. Log in via X GUI startup Actual results: Error - session < 10 sec - quits back to login screen. Expected results: Successful launch of fvwm.
