Description Thomas Meyer 2011-08-04 20:28:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

a segfault in rhythmbox occurs, but nothing is displayed in the abrt-gui.

I'm using kernel 3.0 and can see this lines in the kernel log:

[259077.292215] show_signal_msg: 289 callbacks suppressed

Comment 1 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-08-05 08:16:14 UTC 
can you please try:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

should like like this:

|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 636f726500

if not, then abrt-ccpp has not been started - this is caused by a bug in spec file, which doesn't add this service if updating from abrt1 to abrt2, to fix this, please run:


chkconfig --add abrt-ccpp
chkconfig --add abrt-oops

this ^ will make the service start after reboot

service abrt-ccpp start
service abrt-oops start

this ^ will start it immediately
Comment 2 Thomas Meyer 2011-08-05 13:37:31 UTC 
Yes! Thanks for the hint. seems to work now:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 636f726500

But ran directly into this bug: #722747 - But I guess this is already worked on.
