Test Case: #12) 

2.) Abiword_d crashed due to a fatal error(GNOME) segmentation fault 
(process 20067)

Programs below do not launch when icon is selected.

Comment 1 Michael Redinger 2000-07-19 12:34:41 EDT 
In addition to the "Abiword_d crashed due to a fatal error" entry:

AbiWord did start when I was working locally. However, when being logged in via
telnet (xhost and DISPLAY is ok) AbiWord immediately crashes with exactly this
message.
Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-07-19 13:05:50 EDT 
Please file this report against all the other packages you've listed as well -
other developers are responsible for them.
Comment 3 Rogelio Noriega 2000-07-27 09:00:58 EDT 
Abiword_d still crashes in Beta 4
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2000-07-28 05:24:46 EDT 
Does 'abiword -nosplash' work?
Comment 5 Jos Vos 2000-07-30 11:18:29 EDT 
AbiWord still won't start in Pinstripe due to a segfault.  Also, --nosplash
doesn't work either.
Comment 6 Glen Foster 2000-07-30 18:40:56 EDT 
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1
Comment 7 Rogelio Noriega 2000-07-31 18:33:50 EDT 
*Beta 5 did not fix the problem
Comment 8 Chris Evans 2000-07-31 18:52:39 EDT 
Yep, BETA5 AbiWord hosed, won't even start up
Comment 9 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-08-02 13:06:59 EDT 
Fixed - the problem was that libpng 1.0.8 is not binary compatible with 1.0.6
and doesn't increase the soname - and abiword was linked dynamically, compiled
with 1.0.6.

Comment 12 Jeremy Katz 2000-08-10 02:35:43 EDT 
Still crashing in RC1 in XFree4.  It actually looks like the problem is that the
adding of the Abi font dir to the fontpath fails (xset fp+
/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts as called in the AbiWord script gives the following)
	X Error of failed request:  86
	  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
	  Serial number of failed request:  9
	  Current serial number in output stream:  11

and then Abi can't load it's fonts and segfaults.  With no window manager
running, I actually don't get a segfault, and it pops up its window about being
unable to find its fonts.  Adding the Abi font dir to the default xfs font path
does allow AbiWord to start and run properly.
Comment 13 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-08-10 08:22:27 EDT 
xset fp+ seems to be broken in XF4... Reassigning.
Comment 14 Bill Nottingham 2000-08-14 19:27:15 EDT 
It's probably somewhat related to the fact that
re-running mkfontdir in the abi font directory
gives you no fonts in your fonts.dir. Are there
some missing files (fonts.alias, fonts.scale, perhaps?)
Comment 15 Preston Brown 2000-08-15 10:56:54 EDT 
definitely an abiword problem.
Comment 16 Bill Nottingham 2000-08-15 11:31:18 EDT 
Not really. xset +fp is failing for some bizarre reason.

However, the cleanest fix would really be for abiword
to call chkfontpath in %post/%preun, much like
the font packages themselves do. (It's also
easier to do this than to dig inside the X library
code...)

Comment 18 Glen Foster 2000-08-16 18:43:45 EDT 
This defect has been re-classified as SHOULD-FIX for Winston Gold-release
Comment 19 borgia 2000-08-18 01:53:14 EDT 
AbiWord (RC1): OK in one install, also for users, and in one upgrade; fail in another upgrade
JFYI.
Comment 20 Preston Brown 2000-08-19 10:41:45 EDT 
chkfontpath has been added.
