From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051211 Fedora/1.5-1.1 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: When I try to start irssi, it fails: dcantrel@mortise:~$ irssi ** (process:12826): CRITICAL **: theme_init_module: assertion `formats != NULL' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.10-0.2.rc8.fc5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open terminal 2. Type irssi 3. See irssi crash Actual Results: segfault Expected Results: irssi should have run Additional info:
I'll update to final 0.8.10 release in a few days, I dont see this problem on fc4. Any specific stuff in irssi configuration ? Modules, scripts, etc.
I have no modules or scripts or anything beyond the default configuration. I moved my config file out of the way and tried running it again and it segfaulted immediately. theme_init_module() seems to be the place where it's failing (src/fe-common/core/themes.c) on a hash table lookup, which is implemented using glib. Irssi was working fine on rawhide for me up until a day or so ago and I think there is a new glib.
The crash David describes occurs dependably with glib 2.9.*, but it works again if you downgrade to 2.8.4-1. Rebuilding without garbage collection enabled seems to keep it from crashing at that point (there's a crash at exit, but I haven't chased that down yet).
The crash at exit is already reported as #355 in the upstream bug tracker (http://bugs.irssi.org/index.php?do=details&id=355).
The 27-Dec-2005 build of irssi in extras-development is still broken. Can we get that package built without garbage collection enabled as Nalin indicated and with the patch included on this page: (<a href="http://bugs.irssi.org/index.php?do=details&id=355&area=attachments#tabs">http://bugs.irssi.org/index.php?do=details&id=355&area=attachments#tabs</a>).
I guess I don't need to use HTML markup in followups. I learn something new about Bugzilla each day.
An installed irssi from today Jan 26th, 2006 also Segfaults. I'll attach an strace output if it will help at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@SMP-NODE-0 ~]# irssi Segmentation fault (core dumped) [root@SMP-NODE-0 ~]# rpm -q irssi irssi-0.8.10-1.fc5 [root@SMP-NODE-0 ~]# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Created attachment 123733 [details] strace irssi > strace.log 2>&1
the patch seems to be included and irsii does not segfault on fc-5 Can this bug be closed?
I don't see why not. I stopped using irssi since it was never fixed for the longest time. If you say it works, let's close this bug because I've stopped caring about it.
