Debian Installation :: Synaptic, Aptitude Do Not Run - Segmentation Fault?
Mar 24, 2010
Synaptic does not run. When I start it from Menu/system/administration/synaptic package manager , it asks for root password, then crashes. Nor does aptitude from the root terminal.localhost:/home/user# aptitude
A few days ago I bought a Raspberry PI B with Debian Wheezy (7.0 - I think) on it. Before installing a media centre on it I wanted to do some basic configuration/upgrade and decided to upgrade to Debian Jessie. I followed the instructions provided on [URL] .....
Before moving to Jessie I have upgraded the original Wheezy; after the upgrade the version was 7.8. Everything went well till I executed "apt-get dist-upgrade". Errors where generated. As suggested I tried the "apt-get -f install"; but it did not go smoothly either. However, so far, I am accessing the desktop and everything seems fine (although I did not do anything fancy yet). The version recorded is 8.0. Thus, should I worry about the error messages generated?
Please find the log file here: [URL] ......
Note that I put the log file on Google Drive because each time I clicked on "add file" in the "Upload Attachment" tab when editing this message I got:
Internal Server Error: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, forum-admin@forums.debian.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
VLC was behaving weirdly recently and when I've tried to run it with primusrun command (since I have optimus card) it gave me a segmentation fault
Code: Select allVLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42) Segmentation fault
I've read on google that issue has been solved by a few people from updating the microcode, but I don't even understand what microcode is, I'm also not sure whether I should install amd64 or intel package for it?
Here is my lscpu
Code: Select all$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3
I am trying to upgrade an amd64 lenny system to squeeze.I've got a 2.6.32 kernel running, done aptitude update and aptitude install aptitude.When I try "aptitude safe-upgrade", it sits forever resolving dependencies.it seems to search with the resolver counting up more and more open/conflict/ whatever.I stopped it once it got over 100,000)Is it possible to get aptitude to do a safe-upgrade, perhaps using a command line option?
I'm running debian 8, no problems, after I recently upgraded some packages, skype did not open, I used terminal to open it and it gave an output saying
Code: Select allSegmantation fault
Then i opened it as super user and it gave this output
Code: Select all(process:1500): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
I noticed weird behavior with some of the installed applications. It all started with Guake when I wanted to use it. My shortcut key is F4, I hit F4 and nothing showed up. So I run Guake in terminal, everything fine. Then I hit F4 key and after few seconds Guake crashes with message "Segmentation fault". Nothing more, just that. Then I noticed that Audacity does the same, Gdebi too and even Reportbug app does that (I'm not sure about "segmentation fault", but the app crashes). I don't remember doing anything special or installing any app. All I can think of is this message when booting the system
Code: Select allsystemd[1]: Job rpcbind.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with basic.target/start
No idea, if there is any connection. Is there anyway, how I can maybe see more behind that "Segmentation fault" error? I found history.log in /var/log/apt/, so I'm thinking about looking into it and see if I really did not installed anything. I have a little feeling that it might have started after some update, but I'm not sure about that..
Running programs in X (WindowMaker) as another user.
Until recently (Debian Stretch) I was able to run graphical programs in X as a second user, like so:
- log into X as user1 - run "xhost+" - run "su - user2" - run any graphical program (gthumb, konquerer, ...) as user2
Now when I try to run a program as user2, I get
Code: Select all user2@localhost:~$ gthumb error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. Segmentation fault
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for user1 points to /run/user/1000 which I believe gets created by pam_systemd when logging into X. However, doing "su - user2" does not create /run/user/1001. Why not? And how do I get on-the-fly user switching working again?
Related to this, /run/user/1001 not being created on user switch has always caused me some grief b/c audio would not work for user2. But I could work around that by piping pulse through a socket. But now graphics are also broken and that I can't seem to work around.
I have discovered that epiphany cannot be launched. When I try, either from the gnome desktop or from a terminal, I get a box which reports that epiphany has terminated unexpectedly, and would I like to recover the last session. If I click on either from the desktop, nothing happens. Doing it from a terminal, I get the following:
I would like to add a new user with useradd (on Debian 4.0), I get the message Segmentation fault. I made a strace, that says: access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I have read maybe the libc6 is missing or damaged, so I installed it again (apt-get install libc6, install was successfull), but the problem is still there. I touched it (touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap)
I added my linux server to a windows AD using winbind / samba. Everything worked just fine. After changing the OS to Debian lenny x64 I get a "segmentation fault" when trying to change user passwords. I am using the exact same configuration, on my 32 bit Server everything works.

When I install GNU Common Lisp, and run (help), it suggest that as a next step I run (HELP 'CONS). This halts with a segmentation fault.<br>When I attempt to install the CVS version, the installer compains and bails, also with a segmentation fault.<br>If the fault in my hardware, or is it a program bug that should be reported to someone? If hardware, how do I force a full fsck on /dev/sda when I boot up?<br>Instinct tells me the problem is in gcl (GNU Common Lisp, stable or CVS either one), because I'm not seeing problems otherwise.<br>
My computer sporadically gets segmentation faults multiple times daily, but when I try to upgrade, it consistently faults on the download. I've runCode:sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.binbut it still faults. I'm at a loss with this, is there something else I can do to solve the segmentation faulting
I had Skype debian_2.2.0.35-1_amd64 on my Debian 2.6.32-5 amd64 and it was working without any problem. After re-installing my gnome desktop environment, my skype stopped working. I tried to re-install it. I found out it re-installs without any error but it doesn't launch and gives me "segmentation fault" error on terminal. I purged skype, deleted the .skype folder and installed it again with no luck. when I try to re-install skype via software center it says: "Sorry, 'skype' is not available for this type of computer (amd64)." what should I do to have the skype working on my system again?
Since upgrading to 10.04 Thunderbird doesn't work properly. It is Thunderbird 3.04. It works for locally-created users but exits with 'segmentation fault' when the user is from LDAP. In the latter case, the home directory is local, created by pam_mkhomedir. I get the same problem with a newly-installed 10.04 system.
I cannot understand why it worked fine in 9.10 but not in 10.04. I set "set -x" in the thunderbird script and here is the trace from that:
Can I keep the old 32bit_testing /home with all the hidden directories there when moving to 64bit_testing?
Is there a way to export a list of all installed packages in aptitude or synaptic, so that when reinstalling, it can be easily imported? (reinstalling the same system)
I ran into a strange issue after doing a preupgrade from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12: Preupgrade worked as described, I upgraded successfully to Fedora 12 and also worked 2 days without any (major) issue. Then I had some issues with firefox (malloc errors, couldn't start) so I thought I'll do it the "Windows Way" namely reboot, and then no chance to boot fedora. I was hit by a kernel panic saying "init not tainted 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686". I was able to boot in rescue mode using the preupgrade installer (still in the grub menu) but even chroot /mnt/sysimage gave me a "Segmentation fault".
I am not able to re-upgrade the system since the installer tells me (on vty3) "product Fedora version 12 found on VolGroup00-LogVol00 is not upgradeable". I also tried to reinstall the installed kernel as well as upstart (hint from [URL]) from the preupgrade repositories (using rpm --root /mnt/sysimage --force ...) but the kernel install failed with %post and %posttrans errors (signal 11). I also did fsck.ext3 for the lvm partition with no success. Does anyone have some additional hints how to recover? It's a 32 bit install on an Intel p4 with 2GB RAM.
I'm attempting to install some software on my friend's computer. It keeps saying the packages I want aren't there but I know they are. I've been fooling around with this for a while. I may have broken something in the process. Repository names, perhaps?Is there some way to reinstall Synaptic/Aptitude and "wipe the slate clean?"
Maverick 10.10 is unable to create Japanese locales on my wife's laptop (Acer Aspire 3000). This machine previously had no such problem. The install is a fresh install, since the machine froze during the upgrade (no fault of Ubuntu's). A possible complication is that it froze several times more during the install, and I have gone through many recovery boots and iterations of dpkg configure. All relevant packages are installed, I believe. Everything else works. Through System, Administration, Language Support, I have installed all components of English and Japanese. Currently English is selected. Japanese should appear in the list but does not. Japanese text appears properly, and I can write in Japanese,But all the menus are in English. Fine by me, but my wife will want Japanese when she uses the computer again (not soon).This mostly likely is a glibc/libc6 problem, as far as I can tell. I can't find any other Ubuntu user with this problem recently.And now, some outputs:1. dpkg-reconfigure locales
I using a linux kernel v2.6.26.something. Distribution: OpenSuse 10.3. While writing a c program on linux in KATE, i used character pointers to declare a string like, for ex: " char *temp " but compilation with gcc gives me the error," Segmentation Fault " what is segmentation Fault Why does it occur or what are the reasons behind it?
I did a Yum update last Friday. It was done before 5.6 was released so I still have 5.5 + various updates. Yum is now giving me a segmentation fault when I try to run it. I believe it has to do with an improperly synchronized version of sqlite which was updated and then Yum stopped working. I'm guessing that installing the latest Yum RPM will fix the dependency issues. Will this throw me out of sync with for instance updating to 5.6?
my KDE is making segmentation fault. KDE is not required to restart but this segmentation fault is making every time (after 2 min) when i login to kde/fedora. this is making me annoying.. my linux info is following:
I updated kernel to 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop yesterday and now i have problem with shutdown. Everything goes as usual and system shutting down, but after all monitor keeps to work, and computer also doesn't halt.The last two lines i see on screen are:The system will be halted immediately Segmentation Fault Also i hear that some cooler or may be hard disk stops after this. But monitor and the rest of computer are still working With previous kernel i had no this problem.Reboot command works normal
Some time ago I had to reinstall all my packages under 64-bit OpenSuse 11.2. After that I can't get Skype working - Skype always gives me "segmentation fault" when trying to execute it (from command-line).
I've followed steps recommended in wiki, I've tried different versions (32-bit as well as 64-bit RPMs) downloaded from different repositories (including old 1.4.0.xx). Nothing changes anything.
I don't have any webcam and I've never had one, so I guess it cannot be related to that.
I just have installed Karmic Koala and have a problem running Firefox. I`ve seen that this is quite a common problem, but since I`m a newbie, I have no idea what to do. I have not found any solutions that would solve my problem yet. Every time I try to load a website including flash advertisings, Firefox just quits.
I was in the process of installing something via apt-get. The laptop crashed halfway through, and now I cannot install anything new, do any updates/upgrades. I also cannot open Synaptic.When running apt-get in the terminal I get the following error:
I just made a pretty simple program in geany (GCC with default options)and I ended up with Segmentation fault. program is pretty simple and it performs binary search on an array.I know what segfault is but here I m clue less about why it is happening.and one thing more, the program runs fine in turbo C++ compiler.Same thing happened earlier too when I was making a program which included some simple string manipulation
I am programming an application with an ARM device with an embedded version of Linux. My application talks to a java application via socket. If there is any connection problems, it attempts the connection again. My problem is that after exactly 146 times, there is a Segmentation Fault. Apparently this happens in opening the socket, which is not successful after this amount of attempts.
Following, some code that I'm using:
The function for openning the socket and perform a connection:
