Debian :: Noob Messes Up On Apt-get Now Lots Of Segmentation Faults?
Feb 12, 2010
I have been running happily on Knoppmyth R5F27 (on Debian GNU 4.0/Etch) for a good long time. Everything has been operating well. My kids get to record their Mythbusters. Life is good. Tonight, though, I tried to make things better. And that was the mistake.
I read that we could use our PS3 to watch videos on Hulu. But, I needed a kind of proxy server or something to mask that I was using the PS3 browser. So, I thought I would install squid on the myth box.
I first tried apt-get install squid But, that didn't quite work. So, at a friend's suggestion, I ran: apt-get update Which had problems, too. Still, being a noob, I reran the apt-get install squid and a bunch of stuff came down. It has problems, too.
So, I turned back to apt-get update and realized there was a problem in sources.list. I updated it to have a more current repository and received the update. Then I realized that the apt-get for squid was pulling down resources for lenny. I struggled trying to kill the install for Squid. Failed. And then rebooted just to see if I have problems.
And I do. Mythbackend won't start. The command to do so produces a segmentation fault. Ditto for mythfrontend and mythtv-setup. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me roll this back to a stable setup of Etch? If you want to see my (very messy) attempt to install squid and update the system you can look at[URL]..

Recently I noticed that on my Centos 5.4 system, yum no longer works and is giving segmentation faults. I can run "yum --help" and it works, but if I try to run something like "yum upgrade php" it will fault. I also noticed that other things are seg faulting as well, like /usr/sbin/logrotate and /usr/bin/certwatch.
I am guessing there is some sort of common library that needs fixing, but I have no idea what. I've read other posts about the yum segmentation fault and have tried various steps provided but so far no luck in getting it to work again. It used to work, and I rarely change this system so I'm not sure what could have caused it.

I have am using Maverick Meerkat 10.10 Kernel version: 2.6.35-22-generic I have a Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse. I am trying to compile/run this tool: Razer config tool I have jumped through several hoops:[URL]..
This install was for 10.04. This link helped with taming the mouse a little:[URL]..
Code:
xinput --set-prop "Razer Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 5
Code:
xinput --set-prop "Razer Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 1
I get the program to compile (after some problems the usb.h file not being where the system said it was) and I install it following these instructions in the README file that I have attached. I get a segmentation fault error when the razer daemon razerd tries to start:

I have an annoying problem with Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I made a clean installation of Ubuntu on my LG P310 laptop and I'm using the Nvidia proprietary driver. The problem is that I get segmentation faults from random program after a while of usage. Examples of programs are Thunderbird, Synaptic, apt-get and tap crashes in Chromium (which I would think is segmentation faults). It would seem like a underlying library is causing the faults. The problem disappear after a reboot, the faults might only occur after a wakeup from suspend, I'm not sure about that at the moment. I can't figure out what triggers these faults, and I don't know how to do error tracing in this case.

I've set up a new virtual server (ubuntu 10.04 LTS on RHEVM, "uname -a Linux print-me 2.6.32-31-server #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 17 23:33:39 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux") 2 weeks ago just for cups and samba printing (no other filesharing). Ran tests and it looked fine, then last friday I have added 10 Ricoh printers and 3 hp printers. Looked fine, apart from an issue with one "HP Color Laserjet 2600n", but resolved this with the help of the driver found here: [URL].. Since saturday, cups crashes daily in the morning with a segmentation fault (segfault:, eg:
/var/log/kern.log:Apr 3 06:40:39 print-me kernel: [154716.314945] cupsd[20713]: segfault at 7f097c8cd5d0 ip 00007f0ab0f0fb0f sp 00007fff5282dc10 error 4 in libcups.so.2[7f0ab0efb000+47000]
I wanted to trace what happens just before this by changing the LogLevel[URL]..upsd-conf.html) but setting it to anything higher than notice makes cups segfault again, with additional message on CLI:

some users [ possibly ATI card owners running fglrx default ubuntu driver ] have issues having compiz enabled and trying to change the mouse pointer to a larger size. It actually doesn't get resized at all, expect when moved over Firefox and OpenOffice.I was fiddling in trying to get a workaround for this when suddenly Nautilus started to crash and respawn in an infinite loop. Everything then started to fail. gnome-terminal wouldn't open, xterm wouldn't open, menus wouldn't respond. Etc.The entire GNOME desktop was inoperable.
Logging out and choosing Fluxbox and KDE didn't help. I was sent right back to the GDM login screen. Hmm... seems not related entirely to GNOME... if it all.From a terminal, I could see constant crashes, segfaults on libc6-2.11.1..While at it, I logged on another account (my wife's) and everything was perfectly FINE, with no issues at all. Creating them another account and initializing, it also didn't happen any segfaults. However, everytime I logged in my own account, everything would happen again... nautilus respawning, no terminal, nothing, not even logout would work. Either I hit a MAJOR BUG in libc6 current ubuntu compile, or a setting file inside my home dir got really corrupted and screwed up. It was very frustrating, because this bug was a show stopper. For those who concern, my mobo is an Asus M3A78-EM running a ATI HD 3200 IGP, and I have ubuntu-default fglrx running.
I had run memtest+ overnight and no errors whatsoever. The fact that this was an "account specific" issue deems that there is no hardware fault. I had to migrate my old account to a newly created account, it was hard work because of my 100GB files. Setting ownership in each of them, etc. Everything is OK now, but I really wished to know what dimmed out my bright Lucid Lynx experience yesterday. And I just hope this doesn't happen again.

I am currently in the process of moving around 20TB of data from one server to another. Security is not a concern, since the data are freely available to anyone on our network anyway. There are a couple of things that I'm trying to decide on:
(1) protocol choice
Of all the choices I have--nfs, ftp, scp, rsync, samba--has anyone done any benchmarking to show which would be the fastest/most robust transfer protocol? I know nfs has slow write speeds for synchronous transfers. Asynchronous would be faster, but less robust. I'm leaning toward rsync since it performs md5sums to confirm the file transfers. (Remember if there's a 1 in a billion chance that a byte will get corrupted, then I'll have 20,000 corrupt bytes in the transfer.)
(2) Nautilus emblems
We use emblems in Nautilus to categorize files. The old and the new server have the same directory structure.Is there any way to copy the Nautilus emblems from the old server to the new server. What I want is that if a user had marked a particular file with a star on the old server, then that file would be marked with a star on the new server when he/she logs in.

On my Debian Etch server, I'm finding a lot of the following in my /var/log/apache2/error.log file:
Code:

What is a good way to trouble shoot and remedy this problem? We can't have processes dying all over the place, now can we.

I decided to install Ubuntu 10.04 under Windows 7, but once I got it installed, I switched back over to Windows 7 real quick to find my display stretched. I tried to change it, but Ubuntu had made the current display the highest setting, so it was stretched until I removed Ubuntu. I wish to reinstall it but do not want to deal with that again. What happened?

I am new to Linux and I am having a huge problem after install nfs-kernel-server. I run "apt-get install nfs-kernel-server". It runs and says it installs without errors, at least what I saw. Also the syslog was clean of errors related. Where the problem happens is when I try to start the NFS server and also on boot. When I start the service manually, it says starting portmap and ...something else. Then it gets to the point of saying it is starting the NFS server and crashes and I have no prompt. On some cases I can break out of it with (ctrl+c).
The problem that happens on boot...and this is only happens after nfs-kernel-server is installed. I reboot and I have no prompt. The only thing on the screen is a message complaining about something related to fsck, the odd thing is when I look to see if fsck has made any log outputs about fsck. When I cat the fsck log it says the log has no entries. The worst part is I have no way to log in from the console the machine gives me no prompt. I know it is something related to NFS because I have reinstalled the machine and it work perfect until I install NFS.

If I perform the following steps:
1. Start up a new Amazon instance running CentOS 5.2
2. Log in via ssh using a private key
3. Execute "yum -y groupinstall "X Window System"
4. Reboot
I am no longer able to log in:
janine$ ssh -i ~/.ec2/key.pem root@ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ssh: connect to host ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com port 22: Operation timed out
I see that the X install updates several openssh packages, but I have checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config before and after the install and it's not being changed. Besides, this is acting more like a firewall issue, but why would installing X have anything to do with that? And it's kind of tough to check and see if iptables has been started up after the reboot since I can't log in. I can't find any docs saying that I need to do any configuring after installing X; it seems like it's supposed to Just Work.

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 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'm writing a tridiagonal solver for sparse linear systems and I coded this decreasing loop:
PHP Code:
xx[NN - 1] = gamma[NN - 1]*BB[NN - 1];
ii = NN - 2;
/* Compute the x values: */
while (ii >= 0) {
xx[ii] = gamma[ii]*(BB[ii] + xx[ii + 1]);
ii = ii - 1;
}
now... if ii is declared as an unsigned integer, the code gives me a segmentation fault, but if I declare it as an int, it doesn't. Using DDD I noticed that, as an unsigned int variable, when I finally decrease it, it underflows and blows up to a huge value, ergo giving me an unaccesible direction for xx in the following iteration! I taugh me not to use unsigned int variables for dereasing loops! XD

I'm running 11.2. My screen saver has been working fine since the begining in December, but now when I run VLC or fldigi my screen saver will kick on for only a few minutes then it will pop back to the log in screen as if I had moved my mouse or hit a key on the keyboard.
VLC about shows : gcc version 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839]
fldigi is latest version
I get a lot of these in var/log/messages:
unix2_chkpwd: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock 'login' keyring: 1
unix2_chkpwd: pam_env(gnome-screensaver:setcred): non-alphanumeric key 'alias sox=padsp sox' in /etc/environment', ignoring

unix2_chkpwd: pam_env(gnome-screensaver:setcred): non-alphanumeric key 'alias timidity=timidity -Oe' in /etc/environment', ignoring
If I reboot, it works corectly until I run one of those two. Not sure about any other audio type of program. Bad updates, virus, or something else?

Hearing the praises about fastness of xfce all over the net i decided to try it for my fav ubuntu i rightaway installed xubuntu (without creating a bakup of the names of programs that were going to be installed which i generally do to fully remove any utility that i install for test) i understood that fast for xfce actually meant light(stupid me). now i switch back to gnome onlt to find xfce stuff like pacmn file browser and wicd to name a few. i removed the pacmn browser but when i remove wicd the default network manager does not show up in the task panel i would like to know:
1.how to get back to gnome'z default network manager AND
2.the list of utilities installed when xubuntu-desktop is installed

I come today with a nasty problem. My computer has a Intergrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 IGP. Now despite being a IGP its more or less its own GPU. Thing is I can't get the full power if I don't use the drivers (I do some thigns that need acceleration)
I recently came back to Ubuntu cause my Windows 7 DVD wont work anymore so I have to play with ubuntu again. Currently Im running 9.10 32bit (because 10.04 LTS doesn't want to work for me even after burning a clean CD-RW (one that has never been used or blanked))
Every time I try to install the driver for my card from the resricted drivers menu, when I reboot it causes ubuntu to screw up and wont go into X and stays in terminal. Its been awhile since I tried it but after just fixing my computer I don't feel like taking the risk.

I dual boot my ubuntu 10.04 with my windows 7, I had 4 partitions on my machine, 2 ntfs and 2 ext4 partitions. But I noticed I still had an unallocated 10gb on my hdd, I couldn't see this unallocated space from ubuntu, fdisk, gparted etc. So I used diskmgmt in windows to create the 10gb ntfs partition, when I restarted I couldn't boot into either windows or ubuntu. I used my livecd to reinstall grub and everything was fine until I booted into windows 7 and restarted. Again my grub has been messed up.

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:

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.
