Thanks.

Does the problem persist on a newly created users desktop?

created new "test" user
[test@torrent ~]$ /usr/bin/ebook-viewer
Segmentation fault

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2010-06-08 21:41:49 UTC
Oddly, I can't get this to fail here... but only have Xfce installed, and KDE has some broken deps preventing me from installing it to test. ;( 

Can you try another DE and see if the problem persists there?

I'll throw Gnome onto an external HD, and update to Rawhide.
I'll need a day or two if that's ok.

Comment 8 Kevin Fenzi 2010-06-09 15:36:29 UTC
Perfectly fine. ;) Add info as you get it...

Comment 11 Kevin Fenzi 2010-07-04 20:00:57 UTC
Is this still happening in the current rawhide builds?

So so, we probibly need to get upstream to fix this before we push to any stable releases. Needing execmem is bad. ;(

Still there. on 32bit, 
there a bug preventing me installing 64bit with virt-manager.

Comment 13 Kevin Fenzi 2010-07-18 18:56:27 UTC
Adding dwalsh here. 

How can I figure out whats  causing this execmem request so I can fix it?
It's just reporting python, as calibre is written in python. Something in this new version is making it try for execmem though. ;(

Comment 14 Daniel Walsh 2010-07-19 15:15:24 UTC
It most likely is a shared library that your python code is using.

Comment 15 Kevin Fenzi 2010-07-24 21:40:04 UTC
Yeah, the trick is: how do I figure out which lib this is?

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 12:03:53 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 17 Kevin Fenzi 2010-11-21 21:06:35 UTC
Frank: Do you still see this in final F14?

I am not seeing it here.

The "stable final" or the calibre repo?

Comment 19 Kevin Fenzi 2010-12-25 19:06:24 UTC
Well, either one really I guess. ;)

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 22:01:37 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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
