Segfault

[fenhl]

I'm running the open-source version from within KDE on Debian stable, and it always exits with an exit code of 139 (SIGSEGV) after around 4 to 5 minutes, independently of the node being displayed.

Can you recompile with -ggdb and send me a gdb traceback?

[fenhl]

How do I do that? So far I have run make clean, make DEBUG=1, and installed gdb. I can't find anything related to gdb tracebacks though.

[dividuum]

You start info-beamer like this:

gdb info-beamer

Then in gdb you use

run /path/to/node

which starts info-beamer. Once it segfaults, you'll be back in gdb and you can type bt to get a backtrace. That will hopefully help me understand what's happening.

[dividuum]

Thanks. So it segfault here? Or do you have a different version running?

[fenhl]

I compiled the current master.

[dividuum]

Hm. Odd. Do you have the closed source Nvidia driver available as well? Maybe I'm calling the OpenGL API wrong without noticing that causes the nouveau driver to segfault.

[fenhl]

I can confirm that it no longer crashes after installing the closed source driver.
