Seg faults when I try to use C-f #7572

Closed agonzalezro closed 4 years ago

agonzalezro commented 8 years ago

Update: This just happens when I use spacemacs in the console. With the GUI it works as expected.

Update #2: It doesn't happen to me if the line numbers are disabled.

Description :octocat:

Sometimes I get segmentations faults (and Spacemacs exits) when I try to use helm.

Example:

Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault[1]    53690 abort      emacs -nw main.go

I have a friend using it as well and it seems that it just happens to us on the console, not on the GUI. I always use spacemacs from my console so it's a big problem.

Reproduction guide :beetle:

If the previous steps didn't work keep repeating 2, 3 & 4 until it happens.

I think that the problem could be related helm because it happened to me some times without using C-f, just with a SPC SPC.

Observed behaviour: :eyes: :broken_heart:

Spacemacs exits and I see the following on the console:

Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault[1]    53690 abort      emacs -nw main.goB

Also, I need to reset the console if I want to keep using it because when I press the keys I get weird characters.

Expected behaviour: :heart: :smile:

Not a seg fault :) Just keep using Spacemacs.

The same has been happening to me during the day (at least 3 times in less than an hour).

I have run into this issue many times. See https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/6093. There was one other issue where the guy had many segmentation faults with helm when multiple windows were open, but I can't find it for some reason.

larsx2 commented 7 years ago

Indeed, this happen the most when having multiple windows (as low as 2) open and trying to do string searches. I have basically restrained myself of using multiple windows at the same time because of this reason.

agonzalezro commented 7 years ago

What I am doing in the mean time is using the GUI @larsx2 & @GregorySchwartz. It doesn't seg faults there.

GregorySchwartz commented 7 years ago

@agonzalezro Unfortunately the GUI is not always available, especially over SSH over poor connections where TUI emacs shines.

GregorySchwartz commented 7 years ago

I see that the tag says macOS. It happens on linux (on three of my systems) as well.

Here's a question: what's common to spacemacs/search-project-auto and helm-find-files but not to counsel-find-file, as the last one works but the others segfault?

yanjijinxiao commented 7 years ago

I got the same problem. It sometimes happens in my virtual machine(ubuntu). I use "vagrant ssh" to connect my VM, It happens when I use the command "C-x 3" to split the window and work for a while, then the next "C-x C-f" pulls the trigger. = =|||

@TheBB this happens on Linux as well, could you update the tags? I experienced it in another PC and it seems that @GregorySchwartz as well.

I have been encountering the same issue under Debian Jessie (8.6) - segmentation faults while using helm (for instance, with SPC b b or SPC f f). Unfortunately I have not yet been able to reproduce the issue consistently.

larsx2 commented 7 years ago

I do get that error consistently. I just need to open a file in a split and then doing infile searches with SPC s s.. so far the last weeks i have been using the GUI version to avoid this... but it sucks not being able to use the command line version since i have a tmux oriented workflow.

In case it helps others, disabling line number fix the issue for now. It's still an issue of course, but it's a pretty decent workaround for now :)

wujiang commented 7 years ago

I switched to ivy and it works well.

sdwolfz commented 7 years ago

This might be fixed by https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/8275687bb908174b84021ee15ecd959733cecb9d, see #8197.
