[SOLVED] Segfaults in multiple programmes

cynwulf · 02-20-2017, 09:13 AM

Agreed. I stick to my original assessment that the ports and base are out of sync. Not trying to draw traffic from this site, but I suggest the OP focus on investigating that possibility first over at daemonforums (which is at least frequented by a handful of NetBSD users) and look into diagnosing, possibly non-existent, hardware issues later. Reproducible segfaults relating to libc and triggered by gtk2 programmes, does not sound like failing hardware.

The "had the same problems in Alpine Linux" comment doesn't mean much at this stage as there is no available data to show that the two problems are in any way related.

16 heads in NetBSD disklabel disk geometry and 255 in BIOS disk geometry.

I would like to believe that the issue is with something like this. As I stated previously, the base is 7.0.2 and the repository is set to 7.0.2 as well. Also, I could've understood it if it would happen with binaries from the repository but it happens with locally built software as well. I may file a bug report to gain a bit more attention. On DF nothing has been posted after your latest message three days ago.

Sadly, I don't have Alpine on this machine currently. I remember that mplayer worked back then.

I just ran gtk-demo under gdb:

Code:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007f7fecc07060 in open () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00007f7fecc07060 in open () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#1  0x00007f7fec8f3dd6 in fopen () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
[and libXcursor...]

on keyboard input in message/dialogue boxes.

Yet in your post not netbsd-users and at the forums you have stated that one of the packages does not segfault when built via pkgsrc? I suggest deleting all packages and installing only binary packages. If you can reproduce the same segfaults with the same packages, then you might want to file a new bug report.

Once sxiv worked if built locally from pkgsrc but it doesn't anymore. I tried also both gimp from pkgsrc and the binary package and both don't work. I upgraded the base, the kernel and modules from the installation media (from 7.0.2 to 7.0.2, nice) but the things didn't change.

I reinstalled without X11, only installed mpg321 to test it (it didn't work back then as well) and it segfaults in libpthread.so.1.

Right now running Xubuntu, segfaults in GTK were caused by the cursor theme (Alkano), hence the errors. Could someone try it to confirm? You need to start typing in a GTK+2 programme.

Since mpg321 is the only thing that segfaults, I mark this as solved. Summary:

libXcursor.so part of GTK+2 and sxiv segfaults were caused by the cursor theme. Apparently mplayer crashed there as well since now it works.
sxiv runs fine if built with gmake, not make (bmake that is).

Thanks everyone for their time.
