Thanks for your bug report. Can you get a backtrace for the crash (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash)?

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

Here is the backtrace.

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

Sorry. The previous was the wrong file... ;-)
Here is the backtrace.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The backtrace is similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376277. Could you get a new one with xchat-gnome-dbgsym installed?

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

I've followed the wiki at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
Updated repositories, installed xchat-gnome-dbgsym.

and then followed this guide:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

The results is in backtrace-correct attachment. (http://librarian.launchpad.net/6646302/gdb-xchat-gnome.txt)

If is there something else that I can do for help you find the bug please tell me.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for the work on that, I've updated the upstream bug

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

As asked here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376277

This are my locale settings:
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=it_IT:it:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I've found that with "export LANG=en_GB"
 xchat-gnome does runs but giving me these warnings:

(xchat-gnome:7052): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(xchat-gnome:7052): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

Hope this could help.

It's working in Feisty final.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

marking fixed then

[Lapo Calamandrei (calamandrei)]

I think I have this one on gutsy (updated to sept 16th), attaching a backtrace.
Here's the output of 'locale':

I think it's not working until traslation is complete.
It happened with Feisty beta and fixed with Feisty stable.
It seems it's happening again with Gutsy Beta.
Probably it will be fixed in Gutsy stable with complete translation.
Actually you can get it working with this trick:

LANG=en_GB xchat-gnome

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

ooops:
LANG=C xchat-gnome
I was wrong...

[Pietro Stroia (redcode87-deactivatedaccount)]

My backtrace is similar to yours, so I put it here before opening a new bug... I'm running a full upgraded Gutsy beta...

[Milo Casagrande (milo)]

It's strange... xchat-gnome Italian translation has been completed upstream a couple of months ago... and even on Launchpad it's complete.

[Milo Casagrande (milo)]

It was an error on a translated string, this bug affects upstream too and it's 487503 in GNOME's Bugzilla.

The string has been corrected today in Launchpad (it was #453) and with a new langpack everything should work fine, tonight I'm going to pass a patch upstream too.

Thanks to Luca Falavigna who tracked the problem!

Cheers!

This problem is also present in xchat-gnome in gutsy:

XChat CRITICAL *** default event text failed to build!
Aborted (core dumped)

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

Do we have to wait 'till Hardy for use xchat-gnome???
Please release the fixes!!!

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

Fixed with language-pack-gnome-it 1:7.10+20071120
Thanks a lot to all!

[Emiliano (emiliano-perulli)]

For now, this update is still not avaliable for gutsy so it still doesn't work ( I checked the repos just a few seconds ago)

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

@Emiliano you have to enable "gutsy-proposed" repos in sources.list or synaptic

[Emiliano (emiliano-perulli)]

Mmh... That's strange... I already enabled it, but the update still remains unavailable... Right now I ran an update via apt, and nothing has been updated..

[Simone Tolotti (simontol)]

@Emiliano : check out these lines in sources.list:

deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-proposed universe main multiverse restricted
deb-src http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-proposed universe main multiverse restricted

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

New langpack updates fix this bug:
1:7.10+20071120 on Gutsy
1:7.04+20071115 on Feisty
