balsa on FC3-x86_64 quits when you click "Compose"
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I upgraded a box with FC2-x86_64 to FC3, which has balsa-2.2.4-1.FC3.1 I had been using Balsa successfully, so it was already configured. I didn't change the configuration at all. Now, when I click "Compose", I always immediately get a popup stating that the application has quit unexpectedly. Starting balsa from a commandline got the the following output: -------------------------------------------------------------- (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `LibBalsaAddressEntry' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkEntry' class size (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `LibBalsaAddressEntry' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkEntry' class size (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 819 (g_object_new): assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed (balsa:4256): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 4664 (gtk_widget_modify_font): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (balsa:4256): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktable.c: line 597 (gtk_table_attach): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (child)' failed (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gsignal.c: line 1634 (g_signal_connect_data): assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed (balsa:4256): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkdnd.c: line 898 (gtk_drag_dest_set): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `LibBalsaAddressEntry' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkEntry' class size ** (balsa:4256): CRITICAL **: file address-entry.c: line 1961 (libbalsa_address_entry_set_find_match): assertion `address_entry != NULL' failed (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `LibBalsaAddressEntry' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkEntry' class size ** (balsa:4256): CRITICAL **: file address-entry.c: line 1985 (libbalsa_address_entry_set_domain): assertion `address_entry != NULL' failed (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gsignal.c: line 1634 (g_signal_connect_data): assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed (balsa:4256): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `LibBalsaAddressEntry' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkEntry' class size (balsa:4256): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 3871 (gtk_entry_get_text): assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and running it under gdb, -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I recieve mail just fine, so please let me know if I help get this resolved. I'll have to respond via the web, of course - I can't send email.
fedora project failed to compile balsa correctly (do not ask me how they did it). It is known that recompiling balsa from source removes the problem - see bug 156871 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 156871 ***
