'Traps' / 'general protection ip' error

ghost commented 7 years ago

My Conky crashes - disappears - occasionally. My systemlog contains the following.

traps: conky[3786] general protection ip:30e2c4ecc0 sp:7fff40b4a120 error:0 in libc-2.23.so[30e2c00000+1c0000]

I built Conky from source, using the github code, but the disappearing problem predated that; it was because of that problem that I tried the github code (as against the version of Conky in my distribution's repositories).

Linux Mint 18.2 x64 Cinnamon.

I'd like to add that I still have this problem - on two computers.

I've found a similar crash report, on the same distribution as my computers, but from years ago.

A year passed. Are you still experiencing this issue? It looks like something libc would do. $ man libc

No, I no longer have the problem, thank you.
