I updated ABRT to abrt-1.0.9-1.fc13.x86_64, and from some reason abrt died. when opening abrt GUI, there is a DBus error: Error while loading the dumplist. org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) system-config-services points that abrtd is dead. I tried to figure out why abrtd is dead, so i typed abrtd -d. here is the output: abrtd: Registered Reporter plugin 'KerneloopsReporter' abrtd: Registered Analyzer plugin 'Python' abrtd: Registered Analyzer plugin 'Kerneloops' abrtd: Registered Reporter plugin 'Logger' abrtd: warning: /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern was already set to run a crash analyser (|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/cache/abrt %p %s %u %c), abrt may interfere with it abrtd: Registered Analyzer plugin 'CCpp' abrtd: Registered Reporter plugin 'Bugzilla' abrtd: Registered Action plugin 'KerneloopsScanner' abrtd: Checking for unsaved crashes (dirs to check:77) abrtd: Registered Database plugin 'SQLite3' abrtd: Getting local universal unique identification abrtd: Crash is in database already (dup of /var/cache/abrt/kerneloops-1270812682-1) abrtd: invalid number ''
I got same errors with elad for abrt-1.0.9-1.fc12.i686, and output message from abrtd -d: ================================================================================== abrtd: Registered Action plugin 'KerneloopsScanner' abrtd: Registered Analyzer plugin 'Kerneloops' abrtd: Registered Reporter plugin 'Bugzilla' abrtd: Registered Reporter plugin 'KerneloopsReporter' abrtd: warning: /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern was already set to run a crash analyser (|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/cache/abrt %p %s %u %c), abrt may interfere with it abrtd: Registered Analyzer plugin 'CCpp' abrtd: Registered Reporter plugin 'Logger' abrtd: Registered Analyzer plugin 'Python' abrtd: Checking for unsaved crashes (dirs to check:26) abrtd: Registered Database plugin 'SQLite3' abrtd: invalid number ''
Actually clearing the contents of /var/cache/abrt fixes this. Some debugging revealed that it is the result of an invalid stack trace in this directory. I would propose to add the following to src/Daemon/MiddleWare.cpp line 923: if (!UID.length()) { return MW_ERROR; } because in the next line xatou(UID.c_str()) is called which aborts if UID is empty (or no number).
Johannes, thank you for your proposal. I would check the UID even more -- simply return MW_ERROR when the number conversion fails. /* Convert UID string to number uid_num. The UID string can be modified by user or wrongly saved (empty or non-numeric), so xatou() cannot be used here, because it would kill the daemon. */ char *endptr; errno = 0; unsigned long uid_num = strtoul(UID.c_str(), &endptr, 10); if (errno || UID.c_str() == endptr || *endptr != '\0' || uid_num > UINT_MAX) { error_msg("Invalid UID '%s' loaded from %s", UID.c_str(), pDebugDumpDir); return MW_ERROR; } if (IsDebugDumpSaved(uid_num, pDebugDumpDir)) ...
Fixed in git. It will be a part of next update.
That's of course a lot cleaner :)
