Fedora :: Nvidia Driver Segmentation Fault At Boot?
Aug 12, 2010
Fedora 13-64. While booting the nvidia driver has a segmentation fault:
Code:
Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 530: 1406 Segmentation fault "$@"[FAILED] It is not a problem when using the notebook's led/mouse/keyboard. The problem is when I'm using an external monitor/mouse/keyboard. In this case I must first boot using the notebook until it gets to the login screen when I can start using the external configuration. That is annoying because the notebook seats under the table and must be put over the table to boot. The notebook model is HP DV6 2173 CL with a discrete GeForce G105M
My other notebook running Ubuntu works exactly as needed. The whole boot process is shown and controlled by the external monitor/mouse/keyboard.
Every time I boot up FC13 I get a boot message which is showing a failed task. The line is as follows: Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 530: 1174 Segmentation fault "$@"[FAILED] Everything appears to be running fine on my system. This message is more nuisance that a functionality message. But I could be wrong.
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 would like to know if there is a way to repair a fedora 13 installation without using yum or using smart .Both applications are exiting with a "segmenttation fault".This happend after an general update and the installation of a couple of applications when the installer exited with an error message that indicated that there was not enough diskspace left.The message was wrong because there was plenty of space left and all of the applications were installed, just important programs used for changing the systems started crashing.Here is a small list of prgs that are crashing: yum , smart, system-config-firewall, system-config-printer, abrt-gui and I guess I might find easily more.Strange rpm seems to work.
I've just upgraded my fileserver to Fedora 10, but it crashed half-way through a 'yum update' of the newly installed system.
It is telling me to run yum-complete-transaction to finish off the previous update, but all it does is throw a "Segmentation Fault" now. Even 'yum update' does the same thing.
yum -v update doesn't reveal much, other than it is "Building updates object" when it crashes. yum clean all doesn't help, nor does rebuilding the rpm database.
Due certain torrent sites I'm visiting I was forced to upgrade to rtorrent 0.7.9, which isn't avaiable through F8 repositories so I had to compile it myself. It went fairly smooth and I've been using it now for couple of months with no problems whatsoever.
However, recently, it started crashing on me, at the start, throwing out following message:
Caught Segmentation fault, dumping stack: Stack dump not enabled. Aborted
I have no clue what this is. I can assure you that I haven't altered anything on my system after I compiled the client.
Eventually, I am able to start the program, after an x-amount of tries.
I even tried to delete my session directory once. It seems to have helped at one occasion, but several days later, I was in the same trouble.
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.
Application that crashed: kded4 Version of the application: $Id: kded.cpp 1031638 2009-10-05 16:59:11Z lunakl $ KDE Version: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4) Qt Version: 4.5.3 Operating System: Linux 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 i686
I am using RHEL 6. When i use CAP3 software for the first time it successfully resulted. But second time when i used, it's showing "segmentation fault (core dumped)". Even after restarting and reinstalling it showing same error. When i google, i found it some memmory related problem. But no clear information.
It is important to mention that initially Fedora did see the cards and I was able to set up a dual monitor system. It right was after I enable SLI and PhysX and re-booting into Linux that the problem showed up.
I have seen this issue before in another machine with an ASUS board, but not until today I associated with the SLI setup. My guess is that there has to be something that the driver is enabling in the cards that messes up the interface between the nvidia.ko module and the kernel, but I don't know what may fix it. I need this system for some numerical calculations.
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?
I have installed F13 and after reading some Nvidia Driver installation guides I managed to blacklist nouveu driver. I run the 'init 3' command and it gave me an error something like 'nouveu driver still in use' then I reboot the system and the fonts were bigger than I run init 3 command again and this time installation was completed then I went back with init 5 command. I opened nvidia x server settings I have cloned the monitors and I installed the flash player,totem vs. Than F13 gave me the notification about updates and with yum update command It has downloaded and installed those updates. Then I shut the system off. When I restarted system it does not boot up. I see the loading bar and It hangs on at the end like forever. I have installed fedora again and the process I have done was same so the result.
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

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:
I have a problem with a directory which contains my music collection. It can't be opened; all other directories work fine. I can cd into my ~/Music directory, but ls gives segfault and KDE programs hang when trying to open this directory. The problem probably has appeared after the rename of subdirectory under the Windows (don't remember particular ext3 driver; can check tomorrow).fsck says that the partition is fine. The whole disk is mounted on the single partition. Windows is located on another physical disk.Is there any way to recover my directory?
I have a centos server running nagios for monitoring. I restarted the machine, it is actually a console server anyway. After getting to the login screen, I typed in my user name but it never propt for my password. I can't even ssh into the system. So I tried to use the installation cd and enter into rescue mode where I typed chroot and was able to enter into the root environment. I was able to configure a network interface in the rescue mode and can ping the machine at this point, though can ssh still. In the root environment, I tried running couple commands. like try to restart the sshd. When I typed /etc/init.d/sshd restart, I got an error saying:
766 segmentation fault.
when I vi any thing I get error:
segmentation fault.
how can I solve this problem? What is causes this. Even in the event of restarting the machine, I see so many fails with segmentation fault.
I wrote a small c-code, which is based on a pseudorandom-alogrithm from the internet[URL]If i compile the code with "gcc test.c -o test -O2" the output is: "4194449".That's ok.I can compile the code without optimizations and the outut is the same.But if i compile the code with "gcc test.c -o test -O3" it creates a segmentation fault. But why? why this happens?Here the code:
Code: #include <stdio.h> // Code based on http://www.dreamincode.net/code/snippet342.htm
simple program to create a segmentation fault:my problem is if i include the same code char *s="hello world"; *s='H'; in my project, it is not giving any seg fault, instead it runs without any problem. what may be the issue.
I would just like to ask why my red hat cannot log a segmentation fault in any of the log files located in / var/ log. I purposely tried executing a C++ program that segfaults but nothing was logged.
When I compile my C program on SUSE, I receive a segmentation fault error. To my knowledge, this occurs when a program tries to recall memory but is not allowed to. So I'm using GDB for the first time to solve this problem. After a series of commands, I reach this point:
Code: #0 0x00002b13e1bab127 in getdelim () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x000000000040167b in main () at dmsp_cusp.c:158
Here's the offending code in dmsp_cusp.c: Code: 157 printf("enter the input file name:"); 158 getline(in_fname); 159 fp3 = fopen(in_fname, "r"); 160 if(fp3 == NULL) { 161 printf("can't open input file %s",in_fname); 162 exit(1); }
