Project Diaspora Segmentation fault

[Mike Chelen]

Project Diaspora (pdiaspora in terminal) starts ok, then crashes after a few mouse clicks or key presses. The error is Segmentation fault. Here is an example run, on updated Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid:

$ pdiaspora
unable to load ignore_list.txt
unable to load sos_list.txt
snt-h-1,1
rcv-h-2,nDiaspora:: 7 users
Click down at x:209 y:225
Click up at x:209 y:225
Click down at x:451 y:152
Click up at x:451 y:152
Segmentation fault

Have the same problem, when launching the game it runs fine, but when I click a few times or try to add a char (which I havent done yet...) it just closes the screen.

When run from terminal, I get exactly the same error(s):

$ pdiaspora
unable to load ignore_list.txt
unable to load sos_list.txt
Click down at x:283 y:238
Click up at x:283 y:238
snt-h-1,1
rcv-h-2,nDiaspora:: 8 users
rcv-h-39,
snt-h-61,
Click down at x:217 y:153
Click up at x:218 y:154
Segmentation fault

I too use 10.04 Lucid.

I could not reproduce a crash here.

Could you tell the exact steps which lead to a crash for you ?

I published a new revision which enabled debugging symbols.

Please remove the ~/.config/pdiaspora directory.
Then run pdiaspora from the terminal and exit the game.
The run: cd ~/.config/pdiaspora ; gdb ./pdiaspora
Press r to run the game and after it crashed type bt to get a backtrace.

After starting the game, clicked "Create new character" and began typing to enter a character name, after one or two key presses the crash occurs.

Package has been built for lucid.

Published.

Thanks.

Yay that fixed it :)
Had to remember to delete .config/pdiaspora again.
Thanks!
