[SOLVED] Vuze startup segmentation fault

I think you should downgrade swt, as older vuze versions work.
Other than that, you may file a bug report to java.sun.com, or better to azureus (or maybe eclipse?).

Thanks bathory

There's a swt.jar file in each /opt/vuze<version> directory and it's only Vuze 4.3.1.4 that has the later version and that's easy to switch for testing, as are the Vuze versions:

Code:

c@CW8:/opt$ ls -ld vuze*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   12 Feb 21 18:06 vuze -> vuze.4.1.0.4
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Feb 18 14:51 vuze.4.1.0.4
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Nov 21  2008 vuze.4.2.0.8
drwxrwxrwx 3 2000 2000 4096 Feb  8 22:23 vuze.4.3.1.0
drwxrwxrwx 3 2000 2000 4096 Feb 21 17:52 vuze.4.3.1.4
c@CW8:/opt$ ls -l vuze.4.3.1.4/swt*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 c    users      13 Feb 21 17:52 vuze.4.3.1.4/swt.jar -> swt.jar.3.631
-rw-r--r-- 1 2000  2000 1947119 Jun 12  2009 vuze.4.3.1.4/swt.jar.3.550
-rw-r--r-- 1 c    users 1460069 Jan 29 17:50 vuze.4.3.1.4/swt.jar.3.631

I'll wait a while to see if there's any progress on the Vuze forum and then submit bug report(s) as you suggest.

It is a relatively old thread, but i found it on google trying to solve the same problem and it seems this is not an isolated problem.
I have tested jre6 updates 11, 16 and the default in slack 13.1 - 20. Also tried different versions of vuze and the SEGV problem still exist.
So, the solution was to compile and install xulrunner (available on slackbuilds.org) and jdk - needed as dependancy (in slackware "extra" folder) and now vuze uses it, instead of /usr/lib/firefox components.
Now all works fine!

system sonfiguration:
slackware 13.1
jre6-u20
jdk6-u20
xulrunner-1.9.2.13
vuze-4.5.1.0

Thanks for the update jelezarov

And thanks for reminding me about this thread that I should marked SOLVED because the problem has "gone away" now I'm running Vuze 4.5.1.0 on a fresh installation of Slackware64 13.1 including jre 6u20 (no jdk) and Firefox 3.6.12 (presumably including its own xulrunner).
