dd --- Segmentation fault

[Boris]

Binary package hint: coreutils

I am running (almost) fresh install of Kubuntu 6.0.6. When running the following command from a console as a default user, I get a segmentation fault. The command is

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/home/username/file bs=1M count=10

The output I get is the following:

10+0 records in
10+0 records out
Segmentation fault

If there is any information about my system that can help you, contact me.

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto (fabbione)]

what architecture is that?

[Boris (brbukh)]

I run default i386 kernel that comes with Kubuntu 6.0.6. The processor itself is Pentium Celeron 4.

Can you double check if it's a duplicate of bug #59624?

try
LANG=C dd ...

[Boris (brbukh)]

Yes, it is a duplicate. I apologize.

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

59624 is a dupe of 42264, so this should be marked as a dupe of 4226 instead
