scim-bridge crashed with SIGSEGV in scim::IMEngineInstanceBase::get_frontend_data()

[Daniel J Blueman]

Binary package hint: scim-bridge

I had launched gedit and hit the open-file dialog and pressed escape a few times.

It's possible to reproduce it, seemingly by playing around with the focus and hitting escape quickly in succession.

It happens every time I try to type a password in Seahorse (the password and encryption keys application for ubuntu) in order to update an existing key. Seahorse freezes and crashes and then I get this scim-brigde error.

When removing the support for complex characters in the Language Support, Seahorse would let me type passwords again to update keys.

[Rob Speer (rspeer)]

I also got this while using Software Center.

[Jan (jan-redhat-bugs)]

I have the similar (maybe the same) problem, but unrelated to totem: from time to time scim-bridge crashes, leaving all my gnome-terminals, galeon, and the mini_commander_applet without the keyboard input. I can switch to the text console, and in "ps ax|grep scim" I see the following processes:

 3514 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-helper-manager
 3515 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk --display :0.0 -c socket -d --no-stay
 3517 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c socket -e socket -f x11 --no-stay -d

When I kill the scim-launcher process, all the processes get restarted, leading to the following "ps ax|grep scim" output:

 7204 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-helper-manager
 7205 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk --display :0.0 -c socket -d --no-stay
 7207 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c socket -e socket -f x11 --no-stay -d
 7209 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib64/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c simple -e all -f socket --no-stay -d
 7210 ? S 0:00 scim-bridge

and since then, the text input to gnome-terminal, galeon, and all the other GNOME apps works fine. The relevant part of .xsession-errors is probably the following one (altough I am not sure - I am writing this bug report some time after the last scim-bridge crash):

I think this started in F11 for me (I use scim-bridge for a longer time). Also, my system is x86_64, so the Platform: attribute of this bug can be changed to "All".

[Jens (jens-redhat-bugs)]

(In reply to comment #5)
> I think this started in F11 for me

Could you try to reproduce with the scim-bridge from f10 then?

[Jens (jens-redhat-bugs)]

(Additional comment: our general advice would be to switch to ibus
though - we are not really supporting scim as the primary input
method system in fedora.)

[Jan (jan-redhat-bugs)]

I can reproduce the bug as described in comment #2 on a F11 system with F10 scim-bridge:

scim-bridge-0.4.15-8.fc10.x86_64
scim-bridge-gtk-0.4.15-8.fc10.x86_64
scim-bridge-gtk-0.4.15-8.fc10.i386

I will try ibus later.

I have run into this for the first time upon upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. The bug I opened (Bug 460149) was marked as a duplicate of this bug. I am running the 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 release candidate, having just upgraded via upgrade-manager -d.

I have run into this for the first time upon upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, got this while using Software Center.

[TraceyC (grrlgeek)]

Like forumboy, I got this error using Software Center in 9.10 32 bit. I had just upgraded from 9.04 a couple of days ago.

1 - Open the Ubuntu Software Center
2 - Click the Programming category
3 - Receive error

Software Center continued to be functional.

[Dave Espionage (daveespionage)]

this tends to happen whenever I open Ubutu Software Center, this specific instance I was starting to search for a twitter client and hadn't begun to type when the error popped up. I was also in the middle of reporting a crash due to a hibernation restore failure.

Dell Inspiron 6400, Ubuntu 9.10

[Nick B (nickb-symbian)]

FWIW having upgraded to Karmic, this happens all the time when I start my work machine now. So many programs loaded from session it's hard to say which is at fault, it might be firefox or thunderbird or eclipse or nautilus, who knows.

What does happen is all text input gets sluggish afterwards, at least until I kill -9 scim-bridge (which doesn't last long as it seems to respawn).

Might just go ahead and uninstall the whole thing until this is fixed :(

does deleting ~/.scim/ help?

BTW: we switched over to IBus for Karmic, you could give it a try.
Just run System->Administration->Language Support and select ibus as
your preferred keyboard input method framework. After restarting your
session, you should have IBus working. What you need to do then, is to
right click on the keyboard icon in the notification area, choose
Preferences, select the Input Method tab and add the input methods you
like. That is, select them from the combobox and click the Add button.
Then you can use IBus like you used SCIM before.

[Jimmy (jimmy-axenhus)]

I got this bug when clicking Internet in Ubuntu Softare Center right after loading it. Not able to reproduce it.

[kamereon (kamereon)]

that IBus tip is great, Arne! Seems to make SCIM obsolete, working flawlessly so far. Too bad, not too many people seem to have ever heard about it...

[Dave Espionage (daveespionage)]

I looked at IBus but it doesn't have Zhuyin input method as an installable option, so SCIM is all I can use right now. It seems to recover itself from the crash just fine, its just tedious that it dies so often. Usually when using the Software Center

For Zhuyin use Chewing, the package is ibus-chewing.

[Flemming Christensen (laoshi)]

Crash in ubuntu-one happened when I was editing network-connections in nm-applet. After reboot all was ok again

[jeremy-list (quick-dudley)]

IBus also prevents you from using deadkeys in qt4 applications: I personally find that a worse problem than the SCIM crash.

[Jan (jan-redhat-bugs)]

Re: comment #7

I have switched to ibus and have not seen any IM-related crash since then.
It would be nice to have this bug fixed, but as for me, I don't care anymore :-)

[Peng (peng-redhat-bugs)]

We have changed the default input framework to ibus. Please try it.

[Rick Spencer (rick-rickspencer3)]

Arne, is this still an issue? Considering that Ubuntu uses iBus now, what should we do with this bug? Is there a fix upstream?

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Rick, thank you for your comment. It is correct that ibus is the preferred input method over scim since karmic. That doesn't mean we close bugs in scim (unless you suggest we close them as wontfix which I don't think is a good idea).

This ticket got a lot of discussion mixed in. That's helpful for the users but not helpful for resolving the bug. Let me reiterate Ikuya's question. Is there anybody who can confirm or disconfirm that this bug still exists in Karmic (or even Lucid)? phudacia, are you using scim or ibus?

The comments seem to indicate that this bug does no longer exist in Karmic. Please speak up if you still have this issue. This ticket is otherwise slated for closure as "fix released" in due time.

[Bomber Cheng (tomcheng76)]

This is my workaround to solve the scim crash (use scim-immodule as the xinput). Not sure is it help to solve this bug.

First, install scim-immodule as alternative, replace zh_TW with your locale, if you use english, it can be all_ALL
sudo update-alternatives --install /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_TW xinput-zh_TW /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-immodule 10

then config it
sudo update-alternatives --config xinput-zh_TW
or
sudo im-switch -s scim-immodule

then create a file /etc/profile.d/scim.sh with -rw-r--r-- root root permission
add this three line
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim

Lastly, i can see inside /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim, the module is xim instead of scim. I am not sure is this make the problem.

Hope someone find this useful, at least user level.

we still have no confirmation that this bug still exists in Karmic or Lucid. As such, I'll close this bug in about two weeks' time unless somebody confirms that this ticket is still present in Lucid. Feel free to use one of the Live CD to test.
