Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-11-17 16:03:27 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Comment 4 David Trowbridge 2007-03-18 01:57:58 UTC
What locale is this running under?
Comment 5 Simone Tolotti 2007-03-18 08:43:35 UTC
I have the same problem.
I've submitted the bug here: https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome/+bug/89964
This is my locale settings:
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=it_IT:it:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Hope this could help.
Comment 6 Simone Tolotti 2007-03-18 08:52:36 UTC
I've found that with "export LANG=en_GB" xchat-gnome does run but gives me these warnings:

(xchat-gnome:7052): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Comment 7 David Trowbridge 2007-03-18 09:31:18 UTC
It looks like this might be a problem in ubuntu's translations, but maybe not.  Can you try deleting ~/.xchat2/pevents.conf and running?
Comment 8 Simone Tolotti 2007-03-18 11:03:25 UTC
rm ~/.xchat2/pevents.conf  >>>> no such file or directory
I tried:
rm -r ~/.xchat2

And then run xchat-gnome, but did not solved the problem.


Comment 9 David Trowbridge 2007-03-20 07:38:21 UTC
OK, it looks like this is either:
(a) a problem with 0.15 that has been fixed in 0.16 or SVN
(b) a problem with ubuntu's translations.
Comment 10 Federico Muciaccia 2008-02-27 23:04:54 UTC
This problem is also present in Debian unstable (sid)

federico@debian-laptop:~$ xchat-gnome 
XChat CRITICAL *** default event text failed to build!

but I can't got a debug backtrace...
