GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 170401
Segfault on launch; libwnck?
Last modified: 2005-03-14 23:31:53 UTC
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu hoary. Building CVS head (as of 2005-03-14 23:00) on an up-to-date Ubuntu Hoary (so, Gnome 2.10) install. lewis:cjb~/dasher/Src % gdb ./dasher (gdb) run Starting program: /home/cjb/dasher/Src/dasher (dasher:5872): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_screen_force_update: assertion `WNCK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (dasher:5872): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_screen_get_windows: assertion `WNCK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1223376768 (LWP 5872)] buildwindowtree () at accessibility.cc:464 464 tmptree->parent->next = NULL; I can get Dasher to run by commenting out line 464. The libwnck warnings are still there. This raises an issue that should probably be in another bug, which is that I'm unhappy with our dependency on libwnck -- as far as I can see, the API isn't stable enough to make compiling dasher on anything pre-2.10 work (how are you building Debian packages?), and it seems we're not even producing working code under 2.10. If we depend on a minimum specific release of GNOME, what is it? Thanks.
