Description katnatek 2016-04-26 21:25:39 CEST
Description of problem:

After the last updates amule don't start.
I open a terminal and only get

violación de segmento (segment fault)



Steps to Reproduce:


Directly
1. try to launch amule from menu
2. nothing happens

From a terminal inside the desktop

1. open a terminal
2. run amule
3. get segment fault

First i think was a corrupted statistics.dat like in previous fails but i even renamed the amule's configuration directory and i still get the segment fault

Hi,

Confirmed here on my mga5 for x86_64 :(

Since this update https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18184 amule can no more start.

Hi katnatek,

I just rebuild amule against libcryptopp 5.6.3 on 5/Core/Updates_testing repo, could you test with this update if amule now start and run properly?

Thanks in advance!

- amule-2.3.1-12.1.mga5

Works well until now, i think you can promote the package to official updates and close as solved this bug

Assigning to QA,

Advisory:
=============================

Many users have reported that amule doesn't start anymore and gets a segfault after launch since a recent security update of libcryptopp.
This update is simply a rebuild against this new libcryptopp and fixes this issue.


Packages in 5/core/updates_testing:
========================
amule-2.3.1-12.1.mga5
amule-commandline-2.3.1-12.1.mga5
amule-webserver-2.3.1-12.1.mga5

Source RPM: 
========================
amule-2.3.1-12.1.mga5.src.rpm

Installed amule 2.3.1-12 packages on x86_64.
Starting it goes nowhere; no segfault though.
$ amule
 2016-04-30 08:06:28: Initialising aMule 2.3.1 compiled with wxGTK2 v2.8.12
 2016-04-30 08:06:28: Checking if there is an instance already running...
 2016-04-30 08:06:28: No other instances are running.

Updated to 2.3.1-12.1

This brought up the first time notice and offered to download a list of webservers - said yes but left it there and closed down.

Comment 7 Len Lawrence 2016-04-30 10:14:30 CEST
i586 in virtualbox

Installed amule, amule-commandline, amule-webserver and libcryptopp6-5.6.3-1.1.
$ amule crashed with segmentation fault.  The 64bit test started out without the commandline and webserver packages which would explain the lack of a segfault in the earlier test.

Updated the packages:

$ amule

 2016-04-30 09:13:10: aMule OnExit: Terminating core.

Validating this.

Comment 8 Len Lawrence 2016-04-30 10:30:54 CEST
A repeat test of the pre-update on another x86_64 machine with all the packages installed gave the same result; amule starts but hangs without a segfault.

Do you use KDE?, one follower in identi.ca report some similar https://identi.ca/panko/comment/NhxrwVgVQ-ap-11hXe5LRg

Translation:


¿do you use plasma/KDE? Since the changes in the support of the systray and further use of xembedsniproxy amule hangs at start... without the package plasma-systray-legacy works well, but without icon's tray. amule-daemon also works without issues.

Comment 10 katnatek 2016-05-01 01:52:33 CEST
I compile amule-2.4.0-0.git20160416.1.mga6.src.rpm from cauldron in my magiea 5 i586 , i install it and also works well so another option is backport that version to mageia 5
Comment 11 Len Lawrence 2016-05-01 03:06:59 CEST
Not KDE or Plasma; these tests were run under Mate.
Comment 12 Karpago 2016-05-01 22:17:08 CEST
On my Mageia 5 x86_64 Gnome system, after last update amule doesn't start.
