segmentation fault #2

Closed cybermails closed 3 years ago

cybermails commented 9 years ago

X-tile doesn't start in Xfce. When I type 'x-tile' in terminal it gives me the error "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" and doesn't start the program. Any idea why this happens and how it can be resolved?

giuspen commented 9 years ago

What is your linux distribution and version? Are you running python 2 or 3? On 8 Jun 2015 16:07, "cybermails" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hi giuspen. I'm using Manjaro Xfce 64-bit. The python version is 3.4.3. But I also have python2.7 installed on my system.

giuspen commented 9 years ago

Hi, if you type python in a terminal you should see python 2, this is probably the problem. X-tile unfortunately does not point to python2 but generically python still expecting the version 2. You can either change your system to point to python 2 by default or edit the first line of the x-tile file replacing

!/usr/bin/env python

With

!/usr/bin/env python2

That should make it. On 9 Jun 2015 00:01, "cybermails" notifications@github.com wrote:

I just checked the /usr/bin/x-tile python script and the first line says,

!/usr/bin/python2

Am I looking at the wrong file?

giuspen commented 9 years ago

Unfortunately you are looking at the good one, it's me that was remembering bad. You could try to run "strace x-tile" and hopefully from the output I may understand something. On 9 Jun 2015 00:27, "cybermails" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hi, currently I'm experiencing the same issue after upgrading from Python 2.7.9 to 2.7.10.

So here's a backtrace. I hope it helps to resolve the issue.

Hi datenpunk, are you also on Manjaro Xfce 64-bit? If not what exactly is your linux distro? You updated only python before starting to have this crash? On 20 Jun 2015 15:11, "datenpunk" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hi, no, I'm using a fully updated Archlinux X86_64 (Kernel 4.0.6) and LXDE as DE with Openbox 3.6 as WM. The problem started after upgrading to python 2.7.10. Downgrading to Python 2.7.9 fixes the Problem for me.

On-Impulse commented 9 years ago

Hey giuspen, I've been using x-tile for a while, but it's not working now either. Fresh Manjaro install, I couldn't fix it in Arch either. Looking forward to seeing it fixed! I quite enjoy the custom tiling features.

giuspen commented 9 years ago

I have a virtual machine with Manjaro and python 2.7.10 now where I see the Segmentation Fault so hopefully in the next days I will understand what's wrong On 10 Jul 2015 16:13, "On-Impulse" notifications@github.com wrote:

charlwillia6 commented 8 years ago

Were you ever able to look into this giuspen?

giuspen commented 8 years ago

I looked into this but I have no idea what happened in Python 2.7.10 to break ctypes use in x-tile. Frankly I wanted to see if they'll fix this in Python 2.7.11 but it could be worth to raise a bug against Python 2.7.10 and see if and what they reply.

giuspen commented 8 years ago

Fortunately raghavendra-talur provided a fix to support python 2.7.10. I will release a bugfix version shortly.

0815fox commented 7 years ago

What is the status of this? I also get a segmentation fault on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, WM = GNOME Shell. However, the python version is 2.7.6 - maybe it is not (only) the python version?

giuspen commented 7 years ago

Version 2.5.1 fixed this problem. Does it crash systematically or with one particular app running?

Okay, I checked this out and tried to start the applications I usually have open one by one. It only happens when I have Atom open. However, I didn't notice that, as I have it open almost always. Does x-tile identify windows by title? The title seems to contain long dashes. Title

giuspen commented 7 years ago

Can you confirm that you are running x-tile 2.5.1?

Your version is 2.5. Please add giuspen ppa to upgrade to latest version 2.5.1 where the problem should be fixed.

Okay, 2.5.1 also fixed it for me. Thank you. Wasn't sure, which version I actually had. I created a ticket asking for a version command.

Hello gisupen, similar problem here. I just discovered your program today thanks to /r/unixporn ^^

I'm running :

as an attachment, you'll find the output of strace x-tile.

Cordially yours, k_sz strace_x-tile.txt

giuspen commented 6 years ago

Hi k_sz, x-tile 2.5.3 does not exist, the latest is 2.5.1. Please check the version again it could be 2.5-3 which is different, means version 2.5 and the number after the - does not count

Thx for your quick answer !

Oops... seems to be 2.5(.0)-3. My bad.

v 2.5.3 is working perfectly.

Sorry for the disturbance, and thank you for your good work. Take care - and have a good year !

Fedora 27 has version 2.5. I assume this doesn't have the fix. I would expect it would have it after three years.

Correct, 2.5.1 has the fix. I can make an rpm package later if you need that should work

Thank you I had used it in past and now in xubuntu 18.04 it wouldn't run. Adding the PPA fixed it! I didn't want to change the whole window manager. Now I remember why I loved x-tile.
