GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 506509
segmentation fault handling broken
Last modified: 2009-08-24 19:45:03 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've started evolution-data-server-1.12 from the command line to track a different problem. Finally it crashed and the following was printed: --------------------------- sh: /usr/libexec/gnome_segv2: No such file or directory --------------------------- No bug buddy was called and no other kind of segfault handling happened. Steps to reproduce: 1. start e-d-s from command line 2. do something that it crashes ;-) Actual results: error message is printed out: --------------------------- sh: /usr/libexec/gnome_segv2: No such file or directory --------------------------- Expected results: bug-buddy should be started Does this happen every time? whenever e-d-s crashes Other information: I've searched a little bit in the source and it looks like, that in e-d-s/src/server.c "GNOMEUI_SERVERDIR "/gnome_segv2";" is started. According to http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libgnomeui/trunk/libgnomeui/?view=query&dir=&file=.*segv.*&file_match=regex&who=&who_match=exact&comment=&comment_match=exact&querysort=date&hours=2&date=all&mindate=&maxdate=&limit_changes=100 (first entry) the tool gnome_segv2 is deprecated and was removed. I'm not 100% sure about the correct replacement, but the gnome_segv2 calls should be removed and e-d-s should be adapted to the replacement (if there is any ;-) ).
it looks like that the problem is still in the e-d-s which is distributed with Fedora 9. I'll update the version...
This version is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. The current stable GNOME and Evolution version is 2.26. Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in Evolution 2.24 or 2.26 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field? Thanks a lot. Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed for the version you originally used here. Without feedback this report will be closed as INCOMPLETE in 6 weeks.

Thanks a lot. Yes, the bug is still present: grep segv2 evolution-data-server-2.26.3/src/server.c gnome_segv_path = GNOMEUI_SERVERDIR "/gnome_segv2";
Please can somebody change the Status back to OPEN? I can only change it to RESOLVED or NEEDINFO, however the info was provided. ;-)
which distro do you have ?
I'm using Fedora. As far as I can see in the source code, the problem is in e-d-s shipped with Fedora 10 (2.24.5) as well as in Fedora 11 (2.26.3). I'm quite sure that the problem is completly independend of the distribution: e-d-s uses a utility which was deprecated in gnome a long time ago: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2007-August/msg00092.html
It's been taken care of in 2.27. Closing as a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 580419 ***
