[SOLVED] ark crashes

Art McClure · 03-18-2012, 02:38 PM

Got Slackware 13.37. Every time I open ark and click on "new", kde crash handler opens with the standard apology and reads "Executable: ark PID: 2097 Signal: 4 (Illegal instruction)". Got 1 GB of mem on some mobo with a Athlon 1600XP. Yes this is a 9 year-old comp. That's why I installed Slack. Other than that, this system works very well. Any ideas?

Sounds like the executable binary or one of the libraries that it uses has become corrupted. Try re-installing the application, and if it still crashes, run ldd against the binary to see what libraries it links. Replace one or more of those until the problem goes away.

You did check the download ISO md5sum? After you burnt the image you verified the burn?

I've noticed that this only happens only if I use dolphin to open to open a usb key before using ark. If I use thunar, ark works fine. I can live with this.
Thanks to all.
