scim-launcher crashed with SIGSEGV in scim::FrontEndModule::load()

[Sunjae Park]

Binary package hint: scim

Ubuntu Gutsy, English version of KDE, with im-switch -s scim will crash SCIM, and disable KDE panels. With im-switch -s nabi or others the KDE panels launch just fine.

Thanks for reporting. I wonder if the crash happens when you start scim manually. Can you test with "im-switch -s none", then once you've logged into KDE, run the following in a terminal?

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
scim -d

Thanks for your advice. Indeed it dies with:
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing scim-gtk2-immodule fixed the problem. I wonder the dependencies were broken somewhere. I started with the English version of Kubuntu Gutsy, and installed skim and scim-hangul manually. Nowhere do I see Depends: scim-gtk2-immodule.

$ apt-cache show skim

Alas, so scim in gutsy is broken. Thanks for bringing this to my
attention.

Indeed it's a broken dependency problem. But since
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk belongs to scim package, you should
look at scim. Of course it doesn't depend on scim-gtk2-immodule either.

I'll see what I can do.

scim (1.4.7-1ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Add scim-gtk2-immodule to scim's Depends, LP: #139249

I saw this crash with scim-1.4.7-1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy AMD64. To reproduce:

1. login with different locale than in 'grep SupportedUnicodeLocales /etc/scim/global'
 -> ie something other than en_US.UTF-8, eg en_GB.UTF-8

2. install language packs, select 'Enable support to enter complex characters' in Administration->Language Support

3. run eg 'im-switch -z en_GB.UTF8 -s scim'

4. login again, or run 'scim-launcher'

I noticed that, after adding (eg) en_GB.UTF-8 to either /etc/scim/global or ~/.scim/global, the crashing does NOT occur, and I can use scim as expected.
