GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 133814
Fatal error when backing up Palm TungstenE
Last modified: 2006-03-13 22:49:35 UTC
gnome-pilot v.2.0.10 I get the following error message when attempting to hotsync/backup my Palm TungstenE: Application "gpilotd" (process 11732) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation fault) This occurs part way through the backup process. The TungstenE reports that the connection was lost during backup. The TungstenE is automatically recognised, and after I symlinked it to /dev/pilot, gnome-pilot was able to communicate correctly etc. I have tried different connection speeds (USB only, as this is all the TungstenE has), and still get the same error. It looks like it occurs on the same file each time: Synchronizing ImgFile-Foto. I don't get this problem when hotsyncing on Win2000, any service pack version.
Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting a useful stack trace.
Stack ttrace as requested. gdbs last debugging message: gdb gpilotd . . backupconduit-Message: Making backup of ImgFile-Foto Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1084862336 (LWP 14036)] 0x05e2db83 in dlp_exec () from /usr/lib/libpisock.so.8 (gdb) Stack trace:
