Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 489044
Segmentation fault when opening Amarok Handbook
Last modified: 2014-09-16 04:12:00 EDT
Description of problem: I noticed that there was a core dump when I selected Help -> Amarok Handbook in Amarok. gdb shows: Core was generated by `/usr/bin/rarian-sk-get-cl en_US scrollkeeper_cl.xml Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. I also get the core dump at the command line with: $ /usr/bin/rarian-sk-get-cl en_US scrollkeeper_cl.xml Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rarian-0.8.0-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type /usr/bin/rarian-sk-get-cl en_US scrollkeeper_cl.xml at the command line 2. 3. Actual results: core dump Expected results: I don't actually know what is supposed to happen, but presumably no core dump Additional info: Seems to be fixed upstream in 0.8.1 (USERNAME not set) Back trace: GNU gdb Fedora (6.8-23.fc9) Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I notice I have the following line in my .bash_profile: unset USERNAME I don't know why it is there (might be from some old version of Fedora or Red Hat Linux). I'll try commenting it out and see what happens.
I haev not observed this, but I wonder if it is related to 498812
No, it's not related.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Is this bug still present on Fedora 11 or later?
It's likely not reproducible from amarok anyway, as F-9 is amarok1 (kde3) and F-10+ uses amarok2 (which doesn't include a hankbook...yet).
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I'm not providing the information requested but I keep getting emails that I have outstanding requests. So I'm hoping putting something in here will stop them. Really happy for this to be closed and forgotten about.
